I must say I agree. I am also quite disappointed by the manual. Even after reading it twice, I started my 1st game the other day (Saipan) and was pretty much lost (and I'm far from being a wargames newbie either). For instance, it's nowhere mentioned how direct fire works. This is quite intriguing, considering it's one of the main differences with previous games (Korsun Pocket et al). This IS a complex wargame. I'm sure it's a gem just like the others, but the interface hasn't improved (I'm sorry to say I still find it pretty unintuitive), which makes the manual even more important. A good tutorial would obviously also have been quite handy (the tutorial found on this forum is a worthy effort, but it can't replace an in-game tutorial, or at least a printed tutorial). This is sadly the big problem with most PC wargames (I know it first hand from having recently participated in such a project). Maybe if the editors would spend some more resources for documentation, they would attract more gamers? This doesn't seem to be the mainstream opinion, though.
