Two questions...

Does it have quick mission builder?

Is there a patch?

Yes it has a quick mission builder

No on the patch (last I checked).


Runs perfectly stable (for me) as long as you don't try to force AA.

I bought this and tinkered with it last night in a Quick Battle. Takes a bit of getting used to, but very promising. Is there a battle replay feature?

nope on the replay but there is a forensic hit analysis after each battle and stats galore. Only bought it yesterday but I'm hooked - best 15 quid I've spent in ages.

I also got this. What's with flares? I constantly see them all over map?

the signal flares? green apparently means attack while red is retreat

i believe the artillery spotters can use illumination flares but i don't know how

Click on the spotter or hq unit, the arty panel opens, clck on flares (the left most icon), right click on area to illuminate and you should see the tooltip for the flares button chage to time to fire. Remember to click on the button again to tell the arty unit to stop illumination otherwise they will fire off all the flares. Artillery/airstrike works in the same way but you right click and drag to specify the area you want targeted.

I see. Thanks.


Secondary question...is there a magic involved while playing as Russian in the first campaign? I just can't do a darn thing vs anything but infantry. A bloody 232 took out two of my tanks while headon.

Cannot answer that one as I'm having the same trouble! Playing Ivan is a completely different kettle of fish to playing Fritz.
