Sorry for the Imminently n00by question.
Ive read the above posts, where ppl are saying the 'Skirmish' option is no available in the single player Beta, and i also have the same issue ?
Is there a way round this, i heard there were some patches. Do these fix that ?? Have i downloaded the wrong demo ??
Any help that would shed some light would be wholly received.
Thanks in advance.

i first did carentan on normal and was like you pushed right back to the church with literally nothing defending it. Second time round, i did it on hard and i did better, i think because i knew what happens so i already made defences around the church.

There is a new version of the single plyer demo that includes the skirmish option.
You can download it from Fileplanet or here: http://www.gamershell.com/download_15378.shtml

aye the carentan mission was pimpin.. although the axis did totally whore the artillery though which was a bit annoying... as i had some totally pimpin defenses set up around the bridges

Carentan
Hi guys,
on Carentan if you're quick, you can get across the bridge and literally hold the Axis on the other side of the map. In the first few minutes try and get possibly 3 machine guns teams across, along with maybe 4 or 5 Anti-tank guns covering the two main Axis approach points. The main force comes from the top right, past the church. If you get an MG + AT team in both the graveyard, and the trees just across the road, both facing the East, you'll have that area covered. Maybe extra Airborne(AT)/Engineers(flame) might help. Once you get arty, you can target the enemy bigtime.
Some tanks may avoid that route and loop around the right of the church towards the (centre)bridge, so another MG+AT covering that route will help.
In the West, you'll get more tanks/troops coming in from the top right. AT+MG+MG Bunker covering that area should do the trick. Don't forget lots of barbed wire/sandbags helps as well.
Once you know where the enemy come from, you'll know in future which avenues of approach to cover. Eventually you'll be able to hold the area indefinitely. You'll probably need to get you're men to retreat and reinforce occasionally. MG crews are extremely important.
It's still a good idea to fortify the bridges, especially the middle and right, as some enemy will slip by. *The right hand bridge still needs to be defended as this approach is still open. MG bunker plus AT, with Airborne as backup might be enough. Remember it will get arty'd at some point.
Hope it helps

What card are you using?
i had all settings on the max they would go, with AA.... silly move really
as even trying to select a tank or troop would mean hammering the mouse button over n over due to gfx lag etc
slapped everything on low/med 1280*1024 and its sooo smooth and playable,
i can micro manage units with ease and mygame has improved signif .
best rts ive played since dune.
