Combat Commander: Europe - Introduction for New Players - Part 1

Description provided by Patrick's Tactics & Tutorials on YouTube:

My virtual tip jar: https://ko-fi.com/patricks_tactics In response to requests for assisting new players, we recorded a tutorial session for helping you learn the basics of the amazing Combat Commander game series by the late Chad Jensen. For anyone who has ever been interested in learning, this video is a good starting point. Part I covers the basics of gameplay and components, and Part II will feature interactive, moderated game play between Lee and Roger, where we will discuss rules as they come up in the context of playing Scenario #1, Fat Lipki. We encourage you to offer feedback and suggestions for new players in the comments section below! Also consider this an open invitation for you to come join our Combat Commander Ladder Tournament! Players are paired up monthly and attempt to ascend to the top rung of the ladder. You are assigned one of the hundreds of Combat Commander scenarios to complete against their opponent within the month. You will not find a friendlier group of players of all skill levels, eager to make your acquaintance and to challenge your skills.
