This is a guide for Call to Arms - Gates of Hell: Ostfront intended to very quickly get brand-new players up to speed with the game's basic & advanced mechanics, regardless of previous RTS or RTT experience.

This is Part 1 of 2. Part 2 will simply showcase and explain the decisions made throughout a typical Skirmish match against enemy AI.

I initially made a guide similar to this a year ago, but I decided to remake it due to now having a better audio & editing setup.
