Abort Battle from the Game menu (File menu on the Macintosh). Close Combat
Boot Camp consists of the following five exercises:
Quick Tour of Close Combat
This quick tour is the shortest of the five exercises. It takes you to the Command
menu and gives you an opportunity to issue commands.
Viewing Terrain
The terrain-viewing exercise covers the screen elements in the View Area (play
area). It shows you the landscape and how to move around the map to see the
battle.
Monitors and Toolbars
This exercise describes the screen elements surrounding the play area, and
teaches you how to interpret soldier information. You learn about changes
displayed in the game monitors and how to use those changes to your benefit.
Infantry Strategies
This exercise lets you try a few basic strategies that you can use in the battles. It
briefly explains soldier behavior and the best ways to use tanks.
Armor Strategies
This advanced exercise gives you a chance to use all the skills you’ve acquired in
the previous exercises. You practice using all the commands while you fight a
sample battle. If you think you already know most of the basics and want to give
game play a try, run this exercise first.
