Update for manual?

Command Ops: Battles From The Bulge takes the highly acclaimed Airborne Assault engine back to the West Front for the crucial engagements during the Ardennes Offensive. Test your command skills in the fiery crucible of Airborne Assault’s “pausable continuous time” uber-realistic game engine. It's up to you to develop the strategy, issue the orders, set the pace, and try to win the laurels of victory in the cold, shadowy Ardennes.
Command Ops: Highway to the Reich brings us to the setting of one of the most epic and controversial battles of World War II: Operation Market-Garden, covering every major engagement along Hell’s Highway, from the surprise capture of Joe’s Bridge by the Irish Guards a week before the offensive to the final battles on “The Island” south of Arnhem.

Update for manual?

Post by BigDuke66 »

Well I guess we can't expect that the manual be updated but I wonder if we could at least get an updated Annex.

I'm mainly looking at "Annex B - Formation Effects", "Annex E – Terrain Effects Chart" and "Annex F – Other Tables".
Looking in-game I see different numbers for things like "Vulnerability effects" for example, unless I misunderstood something the terrain info in-game should give the same numbers as these Charts in the Annex but they don't.
With this I wonder if other values and especially values that the player can't directly check like crossing time, etc. could also have been changed.

So could anyone provide us with up-to-date versions of those pages?
Or at least the changes to those list & charts?

The fact is that the terrain effects can change with each map developed. Formation effects can change with each set of estabs used. We have changed the formation effects with the patches. So I agree that having an updated formation effects chart would be good. Any volunteers to work up new one.

Just checked the editors and it seems I can simply pull those information out of them, at least for most charts.
If you send me the original charts or the complete manual, I assume the original is in a format of a text program like Word, OpenOffice, etc., I change them and send it back to you.

Question is how far is the next patch and with that the next rework of those charts away.
