The Competition & Teaser Thread

[Strela]

I don't see the issue with allowing downloads of the manual; anti-piracy concerns don't make sense, because surely if someone is going to pirate the game they will pirate the manual as well? David your designer notes for Moscow 42 were excellent but IIRC they focused on historical context and some design decisions but didn't really explain how the game worked (that wasn't their purpose...).

76mm,

I'm going to ask John if he is ok to included the manuals for free download for exactly the reasons you mention. I' hoping he doesn't have an issue with that.

The positive thing about the Designer notes is that there is an included FAQ that lays out exactly what features have come from Squad Battles & Panzer Campaigns and what is specifically new for Panzer Battles. This is contained in the manual, but is in a digestible format in the FAQ.
