Tutorial campaign & Manual

[lewinch]

Hello,

First time poster here, but I played PG1 a lot back in the days.

This remake is great.

I've installed on linux within wine (windows emulator) if that makes any
difference.

I've only started playing 2 days ago, but old memory kicked in quickly.
The first 2 battles of the tutorial campaign were easy enough, but the
third, I lost at least 10 times now nad am wondering if its winnable.

The manual shows that the first turn should be yours to start but I am
not getting to play it, instead the AI starts to attack and I can only
respond at turn 2 when the reinforcements (planes) arrive.

Is all of this normal ?
Is this tutorial battle difficulty level OK ?

Thanks
