*Viewing Terrain
*
*When you play Close Combat, you'll be fighting near Saint Lo in France right
*after D-Day.  As a military leader, you have the advantage of seeing a full view
*of each battlefield and all the fighting units.
*
*In this exercise of Boot Camp, you'll learn to:
*        Tour a map of a battlefield
*        Identify good defensive terrain
*
*To continue Boot Camp, click anywhere on this message.  To exit Boot Camp,
*select Abort Battle from the Game (File) menu.

*At the start of each game, you'll see an enlarged section of a
*battlefield.  This view covers the majority of the screen.  In this
*example, you're looking at a field close to Omaha Beach in France

*Consider all the circumstances when planning your course of
*action.  Roads provide the easiest terrain to move on, but they also
*expose you to enemy fire.

*Summary
*
*Battle scenarios are finished when either team is defeated or when a sufficient
*amount of time has passed to exhaust either team or complete a battle.  This
*completes the Boot Camp training on viewing the map.
*
*In this training session, you learned to:
*        Identify items you might see on the map in the view area
*        View different areas of the battlefield
*
*To continue Boot Camp training, return to the Command screen and choose
*another session.  If you're ready to play, click Maneuvers and then select the
*battle you'd like to try.
