Thanks very much for listening and delivering! Much appreciated.

We received several requests for a preview of the manual and also for a printer-friendly version that removes the manual background. Hopefully this will address both requests! The printer-friendly manual is attached to this post, enjoy.

Thanks. It would have been even better to have the text on a single column ! This would make it easier to read with an ebook readers.

I copied the manual to my Kindle Fire and the double columns showed up as a single page. It actually reads much better on the Kindle than on my PC. I have the latest build that was available on 12/3/2013.

You guys crack me up.... I can't believe there's a Star Trek 2 reference in the manual.

Is there any plan for an updated manual? There's been a lot of development since release.

Yes, it's one of the things we would like to do in the near future.

there are still missing beta testers[:(]

Are there any plans for a Scenario Editor manual? I know that the basics of using the Scenario Editor are in Ch.7 of the manual, but I mean beyond the mechanics of simply using it.

For example, I learned about how random start points for enemies are achieved by watching one of the videos on YouTube by baloogan. It would be nice to have a dedicated Scenario Manual that covers these things. You could even structure it as a "Cookbook" (like some of the programming books do) that shows you how to achieve different tasks, and by doing those things in the Scenario Editor, you learn it in-depth.

The Editor section of the manual does cover the functions.

We are planning and update at some point to reflect all changes made from the 1.00 release. There are tons.

Does 1.04 update the entire manual or is it still 2 separate entities?

Separate. The Manual Addendum pages cover all the changes/additions since v1.0 and the Mega-FAQ covers the most common questions.

Thanks Sunburn. Looking forward to digging into the newest release.

The link to the printer-friendly addendum just sends me back to the forum page here. Is the addendum included in the attachment?

No, the addendum material is available separately on the WarfareSims site: http://www.warfaresims.com/?page_id=2695

There is also the new Mega-FAQ which answers the most common questions: http://www.warfaresims.com/?page_id=2920

So we print directly from the page?

Yes, if a hard copy is necessary.

UPDATE: ed72n has created a manual-format version of the addendum pages for easier printing. See here: fb.asp?m=3652365

I know is it bad question, but any chance to the manual will be updated to 1.11 version? Or have anyone please, some print-friendly the Manual Addendum for 1.11? I'm frankly lost in updates and differences between a manual, website with the Addendum, and the game.

Has the link to the printer-friendly manual in the first post been updated post Shifting Sands, or at least post-2013? Thanks!

Presently, we are not planning on updating the original manual. The manual text is not outdated, the changes have largely been additions, and these are constant, so it would not beneficial to try and keep updating the original document. What the team has been doing is keeping an Addendum to it up to date with the new features:
