  1. Oops then, I did not mean to say that I was mad, just disappointed. Basically I was saying that if I had been able to review the book before hand and was told that the tables in the back were not current, I probably would not have bough the book. My one hope though, and it has happened with the first edition so I believe it will be so with the 3rd, is that when they update the tables they will make them avaialabe to everyone who has purchased a previous book. At least an errata sheet to download would be nice. I play this game with my friend and recommended that he not buy the book, at least until they come out with the 3rd edition. I suggest they same to anyone else. panzer5 [ September 27, 2003, 09:06 AM: Message edited by: panzer5 ]
  2. Yes Redwolf, I agree with you when you say; "Anyone who frequents the T&T forum was not supposed to benefit from it except for the tables." In fact I did buy it mainly for the tables, and it sounds like we both agree they are sorely lacking in that category. panzer5
  3. (reposted) I ordered the Strategy Guide on Monday and picked it up today (Thursday) and was very happy to open it up and find wonderful ideas on tactics, but even more so a nice listing of all the units in the game...BUT THEN!!! I loaded up some units to compare with the stats, and not a single one was correct in terms of armor penetrations of weapons. Also there is no listing of the amount of ammunition carried by AFVs or ATGs. Typos? Page 1/9, picture at the bottom, "firled of fire"? Ok I can live with typos, but.... Page 1/19 & 1/20 "The lightning bolt represents command" "The star icon represents HQs with a combat bonus." Huh? Are you guys even reading what you are writing? Either I was sent a first edition or the 2nd edition is still fraut with errors. Heck I've only read to page 44 yet...what else is wrong in this book? I bought the book mainly for stats of units so the fact that every unit I have checked has had errors makes the book a waste of $22.00 ($15+$7shipping) How can you tell if the book is second edition? My copy does not say 2nd edition on it anywhere. So I am not happy, and not recommending the guide, at least until they get the stats corrected, panzer5 P.S. as an example the panzer38(T)E listed on page 2/45 shows maximum penetration of armor for it's main gun as 67/54/39/21. The actual numbers in game are 53/46/34/18. That's almost a 20% difference at the 100m mark...pretty darn significant. [ September 26, 2003, 01:35 AM: Message edited by: panzer5 ]
