    A list of chapter to read to get you started:
 1    Introduction
 2    Forces and Technology

 4    Sequence of Play

 6    Movement
 7    Fire Combat

Reading the above will get you started with vehicle to vehicle direct
fire
combat. Reading the remaining chapters will add additional capabilities.
There are some more simplifications at my site here:
