Ok, first I'll tell you that this game is a little hard to get used to and understand. You start at the Main Menu as you do in most games. You chose what battle/scenario you want to play, a few options like do you want air support and how much, and if you want to do it by email (witch I'm not sure if you can do now) then press begin battle. I was a bit confused when I started my first game and I found it a bit hard to figure it out so I'll help you. There is a row of options at the top of the screen. It includes things such as air strike, HQ and maps; these don't play a big part in the game. You'll also have units scattered around the game map (Infantry, tanks, big guns ext.) waiting for your orders.
