Well we moved our weekly SimHQ
Steel Beasts Pro PE small unit cooperative get together to Sunday night, and we had 4 players arrive... a good 4 man/tank platoon get together.
We played 3 or 4 small unit cooperative missions against the AI and lost them all, but we did get further and better then we ever have before. Thanks to Alan, who isn't as much as a rookie as the rest of us are, for showing up and sharing some do's and don'ts...tactical wise... of armor warfare.
The first mission was a platoon assault on an objective, 4 M1A1 MBT's... each controlled by one player.

Great games... if you play and/or are new to SB Pro PE and looking for a beginners group... contact me via PM for more info. For a while at least, we'll be meeting every Sunday around 8 Eastern for small unit co-op action. Beginners welcomed and preferred right now.
