hey i bought i this game a few days ago and it looks really fun and right up my alley, but i cant figure out how to get started. ive tried looking for videos and stuff that explain it (and yes i have read the instructions) but i cant find anything. please send a link to a video walkthrough or somethign if you know of one. also keep in mind that the most complicated board game that ive ever played is Risk. so im not just to new to this game, im new to the boardgame community.

I don't know of any instruction video that might be out there. I say setup the game (scenario 1) and work your way through it with the rule book open the whole time playing both sides. Personally I talk out loud to myself when I'm working through some problems. Just be prepared to consult with the rule book quite often as you are learning the system. After a while you'll reference the rule book less and less. I think you'll find that the journey is just as much fun.

Welcome to ToI and enjoy!

There is a 3 part video made by a fan in you tube, just type in 'tide of iron part 1" in you tube and you should find them

thanks for the reply, but i actually managed to come across somewhat of a walkthrough video on youtube. im gonna post the link on here because ive seen a few posts of people looking for videos and stuff.

this is part one of the three part series. good luck everyone, im already really excited to sit down and try the game out with someone!!!

oh! hahaha thanks aussie for the reply, you must have replied while i was making my last comment.

no probs, have you looked through the vids? did they help?

yeah they did actually. im also starting to look at the examples in the rule book alot more. they describe things a lot better for me.

Also, you can start by playing the Operation: Early Bird scenarios on the support page.

where abouts are they on the support page? i've seen the official ones but they aren't called early bird ones? i presume you mean they're beginner scenarios?
