Phantom Captain Posted December 15, 2002 Share Posted December 15, 2002 I received my strategy guide yesterday and while perusing last night I noticed that mine must have come off a bad run at the press. I seem to be missing 30 pages or so. My first chapter runs to page 1/52 then goes straight to page 1/85. It then goes from page 1/85 through 2/4, then starts over again at 1/85 through chapter 2. So it appears that a section of pages was duplicated and a section was left out. I did buy 2 guides, one for a friend, and will check with her today if her's is the same way. Just wanted to let you guys know and see if anyone else has noticed this oddity. Also wondering if I could get a replacement. The infantry charts are incomplete and this was one of the main reasons I purchased the guide. Thanks BFC. You guys are still the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lou2000 Posted December 15, 2002 Share Posted December 15, 2002 Somebody else has reported this ..... you seem to be missing some text and quite a few of the infantry tables.

Phantom Captain Posted December 15, 2002 Author Share Posted December 15, 2002 Only one of the two I received is bad. My order number is on my work computer, figure I will email sales again with my order number for a replacement? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foobar Posted December 16, 2002 Share Posted December 16, 2002 Are you sure that you guys didnt just get the pages stuck together? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ColumbusOHGamer Posted December 16, 2002 Share Posted December 16, 2002 Originally posted by *Captain Foobar*: Are you sure that you guys didnt just get the pages stuck together?What, no one's gonna say anything?!? How about: 1. No, no, no. It's [insert favorite porno mag name here] that has the sticky pages! 2. Hope he didn't get any on the keyboard while he was 'reading' the guide... 3. Yeah, that's the first thing I did with my guide too. 4. Wow! I wonder what kind of pictures are in the guide. 5. ??? Comedy is not my strong suit, but how could a 'sticky pages' reference go all night without a comment?!?

Foobar Posted December 16, 2002 Share Posted December 16, 2002 I don't lnow, but I thank you for helping me take this thread down to a level of maturity that is suited to us... We all have to pitch in... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baron von Beergut Posted December 17, 2002 Share Posted December 17, 2002 I recieved my copy saturday - pretty quick considering I'd just ordered it only a few days before that! All the pages are there, but it should have had better proof reading before being released. Nothing major, just little things to make you look twice at what you just read. Missing words like "the, to, there, and" and that sort of thing or the same word twice, or in the charts some columns were bumped over, or in one place the PSI was written as MPH. And the word Flak was written in a few places as "FLAX". Things that a computer spell checker wouldn't catch but a human proof reader would have. But besides that it's a great guide and worth the price! BvB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbg2112 Posted December 17, 2002 Share Posted December 17, 2002 or in the charts some columns were bumped over ....which, in my opinion, makes the tables -- a good portion of the book -- nearly useless. This shoulda been caught, and the tables should have some grid lines (perhaps faint ones) to assist the eye. And the typos. This book feels like it's in "beta" -- the content is there, but all the "bugs" make it hard to see that..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Battlefront.com Posted December 17, 2002 Share Posted December 17, 2002 Lord Dragon, Sorry about the lack of response. I thought someone else responded to this thread officially Unfortunately, it looks like a printer boo-boo slipped through. We always get one or two "surprises" for every large print run we do. Best one was an entire CMBO manual colated backwards!! What is more surprising than seeing this happen is to see it only happen once. Anyhoo, please contact Martin about this if you haven't done so already. martin@battlefront.com Thanks and sorry for the problemo! Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantom Captain Posted December 17, 2002 Author Share Posted December 17, 2002 Hey Steve, I actually emailed the Mad One this morning with my order number and he got right back to me letting me know it was being fixed.
