Here's me trying to learn the basics of exploration and troop deployment in Cryptic Comet's critically acclaimed post-apocalyptic strategy game from 2007. A couple of points worth noting for newcomers:

* Initiative doesn't just decide who plays first; it also determines how many Action Points the player has at his or her disposal during the turn. Therefore, it's often important to invest resources in order to improve the player's chance of winning the initiative roll.

* Although it may not be readily apparent from the map window, there's a fog of war system in AE which requires the player to actively explore the terrain in search of resources and enemy bases.

* Supply is crucial in AE since troops perform miserably outside the supported zone (which is shown in green when the Supply button is pressed).
