Redwolf Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 Can somebody remind me whether the physical package comes with a printed manual? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Kettler Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 Redwolf, No, the manual is a PDF, which is unfortunate. If you don't mind the hassle and expense, you can print out the manual. I like having a physical manual (can be read without staring yet more at the computer screen), particularly if it has an index, as did the CMBO CMx1 wargame. I've tendered a separate request for indexes/indices to be included in all new CMx2 manuals and, if possible, patched into earlier CMx2 releases.

Redwolf Posted October 13, 2013 Author Share Posted October 13, 2013 So I have been advised on GS that the ordering page has "printed manual included" icon on it. I didn't spot that before and obviously since the text is in the picture you can't get it in search. Who's doing the web design 101 mistakes there, anyway? Can I have an official word on whether a printed manual is included or not or do I need to order and go to small claims court or what? This mess is getting worse every single release. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZPB II Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 When I select the Market Garden module in the store with Mail Only or Download + Mail delivery, it says "No Printed manual" for both. For what it's worth. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Emrys Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 I guess the final answer will arrive with the disk. The only manual I recall arriving with GL was a copy of the 2.0 manual. The only game specific printed manual is the one that came with BN. Michael 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFCElvis Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 Can I have an official word on whether a printed manual is included or not or do I need to order and go to small claims court or what? This mess is getting worse every single release. What mess? It is clearly marked on the order page. How is that a mess? The info I gave you on the other site was wrong-ish. When you select MG only it says (as ZPBII points out), no printed manual. When you select the bundle with 2.0 it says there is a printed manual. When 2.0 was released it did include a printed manual....so that is why there is a difference. No mess. It's all very clear on the order page. I apologize for the confusion I caused by giving you the bundle information. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Kettler Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 sfhand, I have the 2.0 upgrade and never got a physical manual. Is this because I uncharacteristically ordered the digital version only, being somewhat cash impaired? Regards, John Kettler 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nelson 1812 Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 You can always posted the manual to i-books or similar, and use it on your i-pad etc. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They would have to charge you extra for the manual and for S&H. Michael 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
