Status: offline 		Well Guys The CD is off to get printed and then to our warehouse. So I wanted to give everyone a chance to read the manual a little early. So I posted the v5.0 Manual online now. Brent Richards, Kevin Greer and Paul Vebber really worked there butts off to improve this version. I will also be updating the features page on SPWAW web site listing what got to make it into the new version. If you like to read the manual early go to ftp://ftp2.matrixgames.com/pub/steelpanthersworldatwar/Spwaw-Manual-v5.zip

I deleted the file and re-downloaded it (ahh, the wonders of the cable modem) and got the same error. File size is 11,029 kb after download. Problem on your end or mine? :confused: Thanks, Steve.

Downloading it as I write this..so works fine. So just try again or perhaps your internet provider has some firewall or had some problems that prevented downloading. Voriax ps. if you have GetRight, you also have a browser parasite program..see: http://www.infoforce.qc.ca/spyware/

Status: offline 		Its 11MB and requires adobe acrobat to view www.acrobat.com The manual issue is a tough one. We are planning to offer printed manuals with our full games, but may make it optional. What do you think? It raises the game cost to give everyone a printed manaul, or keep the price a bit lower and let folks buy a printed manual as a seperate thing? But that makes the manuals more expensive...whaddaya think? [ April 25, 2001: Message edited by: Paul Vebber ]

I think it is a good idea to offer the manual separately, how about adding some tips and pointers, make it like a strategy guide from the developer.

Status: offline 		I, too, would like to add my vote for a printed manual. With a game of this scope, I think it is imperitive to have the manual close-by. Sure, we could all print out the pfd file, but I'd rather have a nice, bound manual as opposed to a three-ringed binder! Tom

Status: offline 		I'll offer a compromise, why not a book showing ALL the units and their stats, but leaving all instructional material in the game? The instructions are much easier to find online, where you can do searches, and I would rather have what I'm thinking has become almost an extreme extra in this day and age, that being printed copy of unit stats. Thanks.
