First off WiF is NOT by any streach a 'normal' computer game. I think this is what is causing all the issues on this (and maybe other topics too). <br/>

I cannot stress enough this point that WiF has NOTHING in common with 99% of any ...

I still, however, need a way to avoid paying for the printed manuals that cost money and trees and that no one will use. The only winner there is the printing house that still gets paid, while the losers are me who pay for them and Matrix whose customer has less money to ...

<r> I'd gladly pay 30-40€ for a pure digital edition. The paper manual is of no use to me as I prefer a searchable PDF (I already prefer to have a laptop at hand when playing tabletop WiF <E>:)</E> ). And to waste a lot of money on postage and printing which I could instead spend on buying more ...

Correct.

Which what the critical issue in getting Mussolini out during the final step of the rescue operation by the German commandos, according to Otto Skorzeny?

Oh crap. I heard about it but until you pointed this out I didn't care.

The long range bombers are great in 1941, but forget ground support - they are there to keep alive the threat of groundstriking any Germans stacks left without air cover.<br/>

As Russia I tend to always keep two or three of these bombers around, based way behind the ...

So the game basically does not have a seriously developed AI? Or is the AI generally clever, but just doesn't vary its initial setup?
