Haha well I think "well" is charitable for sure but it certainly was a blood bath and I gave as well as I got for the most part.

Some shots of the carnage.

Sorry I missed the battle, I had promised Nef earlier I'd do some WoW with him. When it didn't seem like it was going to work, I figured I should follow through and join them. Hope to get into this in the future the immersion factor seems like it's pretty cool if I can figure out this HITS mode!

Yes going to take a bit of practice with HITS so will get some in at a simple level before joining as would be fumbling about a bit. Assume messages like the Civil War version.  I wish the maps were zoomable to give orders as the current AI does not make this user friendly.

Installed all the above options, However the keyboard commands do not seem to let me look around in game. Manual says something about editing Keyboard.csv file but does not say what to edit. Have set Options to distance from you to 2 as per instructions.  I need to sort this to  learn enough to join in.  Am I missing something obvious?

Mouse does not seem to do anything either.

Sorry to be thick and will keep reading manual

EDIT  Now Q and E keys seem to let me rotate my viewpoint so progress at least!

Once you are 'in game' playing a scenario.. Go into Options.. there is a HITS move distance, that is what fixed it for me. So when you hit W it moves that distance (the General).. you can hit A and D to change his direction prior.

Please guys do the tutorial. There is one there.

I play this regularly. HITS is a great and immersive way to play. It takes some getting used to but is very rewarding. It totally transforms the experience.

Do yourselves a favour and do the tutorials and try with the first French scenario. Make sure you have done everything in this thread (first post). http://dogsofwarvu.com/forum/index.php/topic,3597.0.html

Ya this is totally a game you just have to play to get.  Like Asid said do the tutorials and then do the first Frenchie scenario over and over until you have no issue.

Did the tutorial when I bought the game.. and the first scenario a few times. Understand the game and it's concepts, just think HITS is clunky.
