The sim will have a whole series of short tutorial lesson teaching you the basic tactics of for example mutual support, movement under covering fire (2 stay&fire, 2 move), proper timing and the proper use of the ingame mission command interface to handle formation maneuvering; basically the kind of lesson that already SB1 has been euqipped with. you do not need background knowledge and insider information. But healthy reason and a good power of imagination (to form a picture of what is going on around you when the battle unfolds) certainly will help.

The number of non-educational scenarios the sim comes with will be limited, but new maps and missions are already under developement by the modding scene, amogst them many 1:1 copies of training sites at American Forts, and real-world places like Balkan hotspots. Missions from SB1 can be converted for use in SBP. Their forum is very good, and has a very dedicated and professional community. You can expect a constant flow of new scenarios beeing made available in their download section. SB's mission editor is of the top class.
