No clue but I just wanna say I lurk the WIF forums all the time and I love your posts/AAR's. Eventually I'll have enough time to try and play that game but in the meantime I enjoy reading your stuff!

I think the same, they are ran out Books and waiting for new ones. Strange is the priority oft the delivery, people that have order after the 4th DEC, get the Copy right in time and bevor here in germany


I dispatched my order on 4th of December as well. If Matrix really ran out of books they should at least inform us.

Status: offline 		Well mine arrived today, and as others have said - well worth having. I find it easier to manage than on screen pdf and it looks good too. Ordered on the 4th, despatched on the 16th and arrived today - not bad given the time of year. I have to say that Matrix/2by3 have done a great job in making this game accessible for someone who didn't have WITE. It is easy to play (badly) but with so much depth that each time I play I learn new things, do better, and get more enjoyment. The Player's Handbook, tutorials, and early AAR's have been really helpful. Above all the forums are (mostly) friendly and helpful, especially for someone like me who is not computer savvy. Apart from a couple of idiots who can be ignored, this is a knowledgeable and enjoyable place to come and learn about the game and WW2. The accessibility (and patience) of Joel, Pavel and Erik is an example for others to emulate.

As I'm also from Germany (München), I can say that I received my book on the 18th of December already.
So it does not seem to be a problem with German customers in general.

As an aside, I ordered a few other games and several cases were crushed, which also ruined the nice color inserts! I wonder who packs these things? I don't think FedEx throwing it around could crush 3 cases, but I guess it's possible. The book and outer box were fine, which makes me think they were packed like that. Submitted a help ticket for several cases and two color inserts. One of the cases was in pieces. I trust Matrix Customer Service will help and the feedback may be helpful to them.

The book is extremely nice! Slightly smaller than I thought from the photos, but still the size of a textbook. I feel like I am back in grade school and should use the paper grocery bag to put a book cover on it before class starts!

After Command Modern Air/Naval Operations came in a crushed box I emailed them and in return got 5 empty boxes in return. I still have couple left just in case and will order more if the same happens again. I'm really happy with the way Matrix handled the situation.

Most likely a shipping issue - we can replace any damaged boxes, the Help Desk is the right place to contact.

I wholeheartedly support the praise for the manual from the other members on this forum. It's a first-class effort and fully reflects the research, hard word and brainpower that went into this product.

I'm a very happy customer.

I'm also impressed with the delivery. My notification email said I would receive the manual by January 2, so I'm delighted it's arrived early ... especially to Australia.
