I have had M:TW since it came out, I like the blend of Strategy and Tactics that is allows. The number and types of units and the expanded campaigns over S:TW, IMHO, make this a superior game. I was finding that I kept losing battles, or if I won my force was almost totally wiped out. As a result I got frustrated and lost interest and put the game up far a period of time. Recently, after seeing the VI expansion I decided to try it again. I found that I was still getting my butt kicked. In desperation I did a search for help on the Internet and it landed me here. And boy am I glad it did I have found a new favorite game because of you folks The beginners guide and unit guide help me understand tactics and the links to the maps helped me in the strategy side of the game. I also find the post very helpful. So kudos to all who post here
