Minor typos in the tutorial

Hi!

First of all, let me say that the tutorial is IMHO the best way to jump into the game. Richard L. Potter did a great job and we should thank him for his work [&o][&o].

I think that I have found three minor typos in the tutorial:

Page 16:
Line 6 (in the list of potential actions):
- Naval Search Level - 0
- Current Altitude - 1500
- Maximum Range - 0

The Altitude is wrong - it should be '15000' in place for '1500'
(Smart people would have realized immediately that in the screenshot, the correct altitude was shown and even highlighted by a yellow circle - I was desperately trying to figure out how to select 1500 despite the fact that the altitude uses 1000-feet-intervals [;)] )



Page 39:
Line 17:
Logic - You never know, some Japanese ships my try for our main base.

Not absolutely sure here, but shouldn't it 'may' in place for 'my'?


Page 45:
Line 32 (the second line from thebottom):
You will not that none of the vehicles were loaded.

I think that this should be 'note' in place for 'not'


A minor point to the layout:
The yellow text for warnings is very difficult to read when printing the tutorial on my printer - maybe red would have been an alternative choice?

To prevent any misunderstandings:
The tutorial is great, easy to follow and at the same time very informative. It probably contains fewer typos than this post, I just want to help exterminating the few remaining typos.

Kind regards,
Roland

Another minor problem is that the tutorial suggests that Satawal will have fewer damaged B-29's than Eniwetok. Unfortunately, the IJN Air Combat TF had plastered Satawal during the previous turn, damaging dozens of B-29's. Not a large problem, as the intent of the tutorial is clear.

I assume this qualifies: Page 45 they ask you to load LSI's but we don't have such a thing in the mix ... there are 17 LCI's available which is what I used.

Also on p. 45 the note at the bottom first line, I assume should end in EAB and not EAP!

Page 211, ch 19.4.1.

'...all Japanese Fleet Carriers have thier loadouts changed to roughly 3/8 Fighters, 3/8 Dive Bombers, and 3/8 Torpedo Bombers.'

Two spelling errors and a total of 9/8 loadout???
