updated digital manual

Hi.
Is there an updated digtal manual available? One that might include the updates to the game. For instance, The game preferences show the Line of Fire and how to modify it. But it does not show up in the game when units engage each other.
Thanks.

ISO Map??

After watching several vids on YouTube, I bought AB II. After several run throughs, I realized the ISO, at least, on my PC does not exist. Is this correct or am I missing something.
Thanks.

Carrier Grp icon question

I've had this game a while and decided to actually learn how to play it since I can't seem to get WitPAE to do well on my PC. 1. What does the orange circle around ports signify? I can't see to find it described in the manual. 2. On the Carrier Grp icon, there is a pale blue bar under the name of th...

dead enemy icons still show?

Hi, I've just started to play CMSF2 in earnest. Playing on the veteran level, why do the red enemy icons still show when they have been destroyed, like technicals that have been knocked out. I'm also having trouble locating enemy soldiers in a building where the red icon shows one should be there. T...

Re: how to change font size

Thanks. Yes, I was talking about the in-game fonts. I did change the PC display setting to get a larger font. It helped some.

how to change font size

My eyes are not as young as they once were. I play on a laptop 1920x1200. Is there a way to increase the size of the fonts to make it easier to read the docs?
Thanks.

A question about those hex numbers

I have looked for this answer but I just can't find it. What does the number in the hex mean when an overlay is pulled up?
Thanks.

Thank you for a good game

I am not a grognard. I have been playing war games since Avalon Hill. I really got hooked on Steel Panthers back in the day, Pacific War, Command. I've read through a couple of posts about this game. For what it's worth I like this game. I've only been at it for about 30 hours, taking my time and re...

USA carrier ops

<t> I've been playing a while and still have not worked out an effective fleet configuration for USA carrier ops. i.e the AI seems to put its carriers in one fleet for max offense. I've read/heard it suggested to put one carrier in its own fleet. Then to put three fleets in one hex or to keep them s...

RE: Bombardment??

I just replayed the Okinawa scenario and payed closer attention to the combat log. Sure enough the SAG did support the attack with bombardment. Don't know how damage was inflicted but at the very least, it did as the manual said.
