Thanks all for the feedback. It doesn't sound like the printed manual would satisfy me. I'd hope to have a copy beside the computer while playing and maybe reading at bed time but I'd want it up to date and complete.

That's useful to know. Thanks Gandalf.

<t> I'm considering buying this game and wanted to know what I should expected if I get the Standard Edition with the greyscale manual. What's the binding and paper quality of the manual like? I image the manual would be full of the maps I see in the screenshots. Are the greyscale images clear or do ...

<t> Rick, the campaign file and the scenario files for that campaign are in the attached zip file.<br/>
<br/>
I feel a bit sheepish now because I didn't post this in the original message. The campaign was created and started with patch 328g. Maybe nine or ten scenarios were completed on that patch ...

Here's the gamelog. The log is for the final phase (half turn).

<r> I've been playing a random campaign and have a problem with the final scenario crashing to the desktop without any error message right before the report screen.<br/>
<br/>
I'm using the latest beta patch (PanzerCommandOstfront-UpdateComp-Build329cBeta).<br/>
<br/>
While playing the 12th ...

OK thanks, I'll give that method a try.

<t> I'm interested in looking at the 3D models outside the game. I've installed a DirectX viewer that will show the .x file of a turret or hull of a tank for instance but not the entire vehicle. Is it possible to see the entire vehicle outside the game?<br/>
<br/>
There are some good looking ...

<t> It's happened again while playing the same scenario. Each time it's crashed I've been late in the scenario, today it was turn 17 or so.<br/>
<br/>
I confirmed the resolution selected in configuration menu is the display's native resolution. I also lowered the texture quality to medium, detail ...

I turned down the graphics some more and finished the scenario. Perhaps applying the beta patch had increased the graphics details. I'll post again if it returns. Thanks for the quick response Rick and Junk.

<t> Here are the contents of the log. The last timestamp is 7:49pm though I have autosaves at 7:51 and 8:02 ( though the later one my have been me restarting the scenario).<br/>

Thanks, Sean.<br/>

Thanks. I had jumped right to the tech support sub-forum for an answer after searches for "terrain" and "insert" found nothing.

I got dumped out of a game for a notification that an MS update was available. I had auto install of updates disabled to avoid such things, Now I've disabled checking for updates and will do it myself.

The insert key doesn't display the terrain colour code for me though this feature worked fine in Kharkov. Anyone else with this issue?

I also wondered about the unit nomenclature. From what I could figure the Kharkov (German) campaign used Plt/Co/Btn/Rgt while the Mcensk campaign had me scratching my head. It appears to be Co/Rgt/Btn/Plt.
