Physical manual

VR designs has been reinforced with designer Cameron Harris and the result is a revolutionary new operational war game 'Barbarossa' that plays like none other. It blends an advanced counter pushing engine with deep narrative, people management and in-depth semi-randomized decision systems.

Physical manual

Post by BodyBag33 »

Is it possible to order the hardback manual without the game?

I have already bought the download DC: Barbarossa, but would like the manual also.

you would need to contact support as it would be a back order or new order etc so maybe yes maybe no, it all depends as it is something they are adding to the cart system but not fully sure it's working as yet either

but always a good idea to ask

I know the publisher has recently started providing this service for several games. Not 100% this one is included yet. Will find out.

Thanks for the fast reply.

I found out later that the postage was actually fair to my country, (used to getting wildly overcharged by others) and saw how nice this manual looks like on the Twitch-stream.

Just saw this post - add me in to the line of the digital DCB owners who would like to buy the manual separately, if not the disk too. (More interested in the manual than the disk, truth be told.)

I can confirm that we are planning to add soon Barbarossa and War in the West to that list. [:)]

Great news!

It would be a shame not to be able to buy such a nice hardback manual.
It's almost like old days where you often got several books, maps and charts with your PC-game.

The Manual is a first class quality publication.

Would it be better to provide loose leaf punched pages to put in a binder (binder could be provided by game owner) to enable pages to be replaced in the future as the game is updated?

These pages could be printed or pdf download (you could charge for these).

Costs for seperate pages should be less than producing a bound book.

The possibility of being able to get the majority of game information from the manual without having to check the forum to find which parts of the manual have been changed would greatly benefit the game.

I received mine today. It greatly exceeded my expectations. The manual and physical copy disc was money well spent.

Got my physical manual and dvd today. First-class quality and great product. Also, a pretty darn good game to top things off.
