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.

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

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|]

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

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
Rob

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

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.
