Number of questions concerning POA-2.

1. In the tutorial (there is only 1 mission, correct)...in this mission....do you do anything other then hit (next turn)...I mean, there doesn't seem like much you can do....You rarely have DF ....your waypoints seem pretty direct...no need to alter from them.....and even with it all being direct...it doesn't seem to offer much in the way of a "tutorial"...


2. How does DF actually work? It seems like 90% of the time, no unit ever has a direc fire (or if it does, how is this shown....within the indiviual units...when you hit the button for DF within them...the chart (layout) is somewhat confusing?

3. When looking at the XO - Targeting (F3 or 4)....What does an "X" indicate that is in one of the columns of one of your units?

4. Within Display options of the game....What does Show IF/TGTS or Show DF/TRPS mean??

5. How do the "leaders" work within a game?

A few more questions...

6. With regard to images that are assoicated with weapon systems. Many of the images aren't the best out there for a given weapon system.....and all are Bitmaps which take up much more space then Jpegs....When the first patch comes out...and thus we are not allowed to edit the weapon systems (which include a path to their respected picture)...is this going to not allow us to change (put in better pictures) and change the picture format from Bitmaps to Jpegs ( to save on hard-drive space).

7. I really think there needs to be a differing of values between infantry units....it seems all the internal values for most of the infantry are the same....regardless if it's a General infantry / marine infantry/ Ranger Infantry/ etc......even within the Delta Foce unit, thier values are not that much higher....and FAC specialities should definitely be included within the Delta Unit (they do call in airstrikes....as do other Special Op units)...

I think having a differing of values / strengths & weaknesses.....this allows for more strategic roleplaying by the Task Force Commader (Ie the player)...it also adds some more "realism" to it all..

Don't worry about this question, I have figured it out. After walking through it several times....I think.
