Box Upgrade (i.e. the Manual) £12.99

Shipping £30.14 !!

Total £43.13

Which is more than I paid for the game itself at £33.99

There's a big topic about this in the forums. There is no alternative.

There is one. A few years ago I made what at the time seemed a wildly extravagant decision to get a 10" tablet to act as an ereader for pdf game manuals. This was prompted by the ever increasing cost and hassle of printing, the need for a decent sized page to view and the saving in storage space for the A4 binders I used to keep. That's proved very successfull, although I did wonder when Matrix started to produce the larger sized booklets but not when I saw this latest astronomic increase in delivery costs.

Status: offline 		Everyone seems to be keen on getting the printed game manual. Maybe it is a stupid question, but - if I download the game, is there an e-version of the manual included, or do I have to buy it seperately?

No real need for the book, but some want to have the physical copy in their hands, etc.

Its all down to personal choice of course, but from my perspective, quality hard copy manuals a la MWIF, DC:B, Strategic Command and WITW should be offered with every game. For those of us who a) hate reading from a screen and/or b) have frequent intimate relations with our books, they are a superb idea. The only game I have bought recently that didn't have such books was Wars of Napoleon - and I really missed not having one for that.
