Unfortunately, all the tutorials seem to have major issues with the latest beta. It's not that Beta2 is bad or anything; in fact, it's awesome. It's just how things work here. Huge amounts of labor go into creating these wonderful resources, and then there's a radical change (and, boy, was beta 2 radical!); leaving the creator with lots of work that needs to be done. The poor noob is at a bit of a loss on how to translate to the new format. If you don't spend significant time every day or two searching through the forums for tidbits, you can quickly get lost.
Hopefully, by the time T2D / TGB is taken out of beta; the resource-builders will have had a chance to modify these invaluable tutorials into some final form.

No, beta 2 is the latest. The link in the download page says 1.1, but if you look at the file you download it's beta 2.

There are definitely some snags going through, but you if you can get through them you'll be that much better!
The main one I ran into was during the unit creation, I was getting an error due to the fact that the object's name was the same as what it was trying to inherit from. Fixed it by appending the unit's number to its name if the two matched.

The Strategy tutorial really is excellent. It covers a ton of concepts and explains a lot of little details for why things are set up certain ways.There are definitely some snags going through, but you if you can get through them you'll be that much better!

Everytime I try to click "log in" (from various pages on the screen) it blanks the screen, puts a huge URL in the address bar and then stops.
I can't log in at all to d/l the pages. I use the latest version of IE (everything fully up to date).
Anyone else have this issue? It have been going on for me at least 4 weeks... doesn't matter if it is my home cpu or my work cpu.

Silly question, how do you actually get into the TDN database?Everytime I try to click "log in" (from various pages on the screen) it blanks the screen, puts a huge URL in the address bar and then stops.

Problem solved. I had to remove my handle from my login name and that cleared the problem right up. Thanks for the responses.
