Yup, I've been working on this with a current FH GA player this past week. I hope to have the wiki and/or forum post up with the tutorial. It is 12 turns of orders and turn reports along with some brief strategy comments on why the player did what he did.
IMHO, part of the problem with a tutorial that gives order examples is a player will use it to the exclusion of the game manual. Moreover, the player likely won't even read the tutorial for comprehension, but simply scan through it until he/she finds something relevant to their interests. Then they'll copy+paste the relevant bits, attempt to change the orders so it applies to their position, then wonder why they get errors upon orders submission. I've seen this before in other games
