Is a printed manual included with the boxed version? I would normally print it out since I hate reading manuals on the computer, but this one is 175 pages long.

Oh, so that's what they were talking about in the article. Thanks.

I got an e-mail from Armchair General about 2016 games. In it was listed a Guadalcanal expansion for COH. I can't find this expansion anywhere. Does anyone know anything about this expansion?

It was set to large. I reset it to medium and it worked. The whole screen is now visible, although now it only
takes up about 2/3 of the screen. I don't believe the game is meant to be played full screen, so this is a fix
that worked and that I can live with. Thanks, Rick!

<t> Thanks, Rick. Something weird is still going on. While the game recognized the update on my old<br/>
XP laptop, it did not recognize it on my Windows 7 gaming laptop. So I went to the downloads <br/>
section and updated the game manually for the Win7 machine. The override is clickable, but no ...

This was about a week ago. Any idea when this update will go live?

No, its version "1.03 (beta)" and it hasn't been released yet.

I uploaded it last night and I believe it will be made available as a beta asap.<br/>
<br/>
Besides an override button I also put in 2560x1440 resolution. It would be great if those that can run that resolution let me know how it looks ...

That's pretty weird. Its a standard Windows call to check the size of your current display. I'm befuddled as to how that information could be returned incorrectly.<br/>
<br/>
You're running Windows 7 or 8 I assume?<br/>
<br/>
Has anyone else ...

torrone, you don't get the option of screen sizes smaller than your current resolution? That should not happen.<br/>
<br/>

Maybe it shouldn't, but it is. Funny that I can get the game to display properly on my old XP laptop but not ...

Only screen res that lights up for me is the highest one, 2560 x 1600. Can't access any others. My max res is 1920 x 1080. The screen is way too large and I cannot access the bottom of the screen. Anyone have a fix?

<t> There appears to be a mistake in the manual. It states that in the Sicily campaign,<br/>
Messina is worth 10 vps per turn after capture. But in the chart it says Messina is<br/>
worth 5 and Syracuse is worth 10. It seems since the blurb indicate Messina to be the <br/>
most important that it ...

<t> Tom, I did edit the res.dat file and tried various different resolutions. I tried 1366x768 as wesy suggested, and most text appeared but some was still off the bottom of the screen. Screen still seems to be skewed to the right. So it is still unplayable. This is on my high end gaming laptop. I ...

<t> I have the same issue. I tried the hotfix but it did not change anything. I get to the splash page, then get a message saying the game is running in Introductory Mode. I don't see any load options on the screen and the screen is off center also. Then the game stops working and I have to go to ...

Thanks for the reply. I'm sure that would work. But I found another workaround. I right clicked on the Desktop shortcut and clicked on Properties/Compatibility and then checked the box "Disable Desktop Composition". When I rebooted the game if all fit on the screen just fine.

<t> I have UoC patched to 1.05 and Black Turn DLC added. When I open the game the screen is too<br/>
large for the monitor. As a result I cannot see or access the buttons on the bottom of the<br/>
screen, such as Start Scenario etc. I have tried different screen resolutions but the lower<br/>
the ...

<t> I bought this game without realizing there is no manual that describes game mechanics. This is a terrible omission, IMO. Having to scroll over tool tips to try and decipher how things work increases the learning curve dramatically. Inexcusable as far as I'm concerned. It's going to take quite ...

<t> The manual in the website is useless for gameplay. Where is the manual that actually tells you what the things on the screen actually mean? Started a game and there are Isogen(?) and gold fields the tooltip says I should mine. Doesn't say how. Tooltips kind of tell you what to do in a limited ...

<t> Haven't started the game yet. Just read the Timeline and Faction descriptions so far. But it was disconcerting to read in the 2060 timeline description it references Napoleon from 400 years ago. That would put Napoleon in the 1600's, not in his actual timeline of the late 1700's to the early ...

<t> I am enjoying the game but one thing is very annoying. No matter which way you swing the camera, it is often difficult to get a clear line of sight because of certain terrain features. Often trees obscure your units and make it difficult to determine where they are and to easily set up movement ...

I own all of the previously released Grand Campaigns. Is this just a compilation of those campaigns, or is it something new?
