SP:WaW Manual?? Where?

Post by malbug1 »

While I've played Steel Panthers I for hours (more to my wife's liking) and am familiar with the basics thru that, I've heard of people referring to a "manual" for SP:WaW which I have yet to find on the game I have downloaded, though it's quite possible that I have overlooked it as I do many things in life. Is there a manual for the game and if so where is it?? Please help!

Its a whopper - But do not fret. Most pages are dedicated to the Editor.

If you're new - playing through the turorials will get you ready in no time.

Pressing F1 gives you a list of hotkeys - they are a good guide to orders avaliable to you.

(How many times I've tried to print that document - trying to conserve paper by printing the "uneaven pages" first and then returning the printed pages to the tray and printing the "eaven pages" - I always get it wrong and end up wasting half a rainforest of printerpaper.. (Sigh)

Good Lord,....
Manual is up to date for Spwaw 5.0 only.
There have been few things changed/added since then, but it will give you a good idea of how things work, anyway.
In the manual you'll also find the step to step "how to" texts for each tutorials provided with the game.

Does "SP:WAW - Generals Edition" come with a printed manual (besides the usual installation handout)?
Is it in a cardboard box or just in a DVD case?

Who can give me answers?

Thanks in advance! [:)]

So the retail version of "SP:WAW - Generals Edition" comes just with a manual as a *.pdf file on the disc? [:(]
And the package? Cardboard box or DVD case?
Those PR shots look like a cardboard box but PR shots aren`t reliable.
