Is there any hope of an epub version of the manual? Reading pdfs from the ipad is not a good experience, and considering the size of the manual, it would be nice to have a "digital reader friendly" version (with images and colours adapted to the epub version).

I have tried to convert the printer-friendly pdf to epub, but with very bad results.

thanks for the screenshot. I was actually referring to an epub version of the manual. The epub files are "digital reader friendly" versions of the documents, which allow for better interaction with the book. This is the format used to prepare digital books, for example, which are not sold as pdf but as epub.

Quoting wikipedia:
"EPUB is an e-book file format that uses the ".epub" file extension. The term is short for electronic publication and is sometimes styled ePub. EPUB is supported by many e-readers, and compatible software is available for most smartphones, tablets, and computers. EPUB is a technical standard published by the International Digital Publishing Forum (IDPF). It became an official standard of the IDPF in September 2007, superseding the older Open eBook standard"

Will this PDF manual be updated over time? Adding things which were changed through updates or will it be generally improved?

Thanks, didn�t know as I am new to the game.

Will new text or changes been marked in that living manual, so I can only read new added text?

Help please! When or where can we expect to get help with the WitE2 Editor? For example how does one cancel a Axis withdrawl?

I understand that many have ordered the print version.

But for people like me using the eBook on 2 displays, why cannot the cross references be hyperlinks?

Thanks.

Hello and many thanks for this great wargame.
Do you plan to release a french translation of the manual?
Completely lost in translations when there's over 500 pages of rules!
Thank you

I don't think there will be an official translation.

Someone took all my working files to start doing an unofficial translation to French but not sure how much progress he has managed to do

absolutely standard, you never start the formal page count with the index in any report, document or manual. So inevitably page 1 of the text is page x of the actual document?

Just wanted to say this is one hell of a nice manual. :-) I'm an old WITE/WITW/WITP guy that came back to revisit WITE2. Appreciate all the hard work on the manual and other things. :-)

Is there PDF a version of the manual with the updates highlighted in a different color?

This is very useful for the owners of the hardcover manual.

I recently purchased the digital game from Matrix.
Is it possible to now order a copy of the physical manual?
I have the digital manual with my game which I can print of course but I'd like to buy the actual physical copy. The physical game disc itself is no use to me though, just the book.
Unless I'm cracking up (quite possible) I can't see it when I visit the store under WitE.2

Thanks.

Yes it is possible to upgrade to physical copy that will come with the manual(unless Matrix is out of stock of the manuals) AFAIK only limited # have been printed. Erik probably will know if the manuals are still available.

Many thanks and apologies to all....... The question I asked has been covered before. My fault.

I have now ordered the upgrade with one day to go before the Christmas cut-off, so hopefully that's my present to myself sorted.

I bought the on-line version several months ago. I thought I was buying the physical version, but I screwed that up.

Is there a chance to by the physical manual by itself?

Thanks,
