1.007 didn't change anything with the manual. It sounds more like your PDF reader may have crashed or hung.

Yes, every order gets a notification e-mail from us when it is shipped. If you paid for the courier method then there's also a separate e-mail with tracking information.

Thanks Erik. As I pre-ordered should I be worried I haven't received an email?

Is there any hope of an epub version of the manual? Reading pdfs from the ipad is not a good experience, and considering the size of the manual, it would be nice to have a "digital reader friendly" version (with images and colours adapted to the epub version).

I have tried to convert the printer-friendly pdf to epub, but with very bad results.

thanks for the screenshot. I was actually referring to an epub version of the manual. The epub files are "digital reader friendly" versions of the documents, which allow for better interaction with the book. This is the format used to prepare digital books, for example, which are not sold as pdf but as epub.

Quoting wikipedia:
"EPUB is an e-book file format that uses the ".epub" file extension. The term is short for electronic publication and is sometimes styled ePub. EPUB is supported by many e-readers, and compatible software is available for most smartphones, tablets, and computers. EPUB is a technical standard published by the International Digital Publishing Forum (IDPF). It became an official standard of the IDPF in September 2007, superseding the older Open eBook standard"

Will this PDF manual be updated over time? Adding things which were changed through updates or will it be generally improved?

Thanks, didn´t know as I am new to the game.

Will new text or changes been marked in that living manual, so I can only read new added text?

Help please! When or where can we expect to get help with the WitE2 Editor? For example how does one cancel a Axis withdrawl?

I understand that many have ordered the print version.

But for people like me using the eBook on 2 displays, why cannot the cross references be hyperlinks?

Thanks.

Hello and many thanks for this great wargame.
Do you plan to release a french translation of the manual?
Completely lost in translations when there's over 500 pages of rules!
Thank you
