Printed Manual/Give credit where it's due...

[TheHellPatrol]

My personal tribute to the guys who made this game:

Trip to Office Depot...$6.00 in gas.
Price for full-color print job, two sided, with acrylic(?) covers...$153.00
Command Ops:Battles from the Bulge...priceless.

Sorry, upside down...[8|]

And they said it couldn't be done! [:D]

Did you buy the game?

[TheHellPatrol]

[:D]Umm...yep, so add $...[:'(]

[Andrew Williams]

Where do we send the orders?

I'll ask out of morbid curiousity...
Does it have many colour illustrations besides the cover and the game logos?

[Real and Simulated Wars]

The Hell Patrol,

They printed your manual upside down! [:)]

Just joking. I should probably print the manual too.

Cheers,

$250 for what should be a $50 game? No wonder the worlds economy is crashing. This is how governments spend. Oh well, enjoy the game.[8|]

153 Dollars print costs? It about time I leave germany to get rich with a copy/print shop overseas!

In the USA, we print our manuals on paper made from gold.  [:D]

[:D]The real crime was it took only 17 minutes...like butter!

"I'll ask out of morbid curiousity...

Yes, there are quite a few battlefield pictures, almost every page.

Now then listen to this:

Petrol for the trip to the office (where I had to go anyway) - 3 Euros
Full color print job on the office laserprinter - 0 Euros
Get our apprentice to punch holes into the pages - 0 Euros
Send apprentice to buy covers - 0,99 cent

Total 3,99 Euros.

We dont have golden paper, but we have cheap labor and relaxed office rules.

Bye for now

You paid $153.00 to print a manual for a $80.00-$90.00 game? You must have money to just toss around, because to me that's one of the craziest things I've run across in a while. Well, I hope you find the game enjoyable.

I just printed it at work. Black and white only though. Its quite big but makes a good read. 

[Waffenamt]

I printed it for free at work too. 50 b/w double-sided pages a day to keep it "under the radar". [;)]

[MarkShot]

He he he ... day after day I am reading stories of people whose Web lives get them into trouble in their real life or office. You should keep it to yourself.

Anyway, I can print on the color laser whenever I want, but then I own the business.

But it wasn't worth printing these docs as for the most part I know them too well and only need to look up something here or there while playing.
