manual

[CountArach]

Brilliant! I must admit I stayed up until 2am here in Australia, downloaded the French version and scrolled through it. Finally... the real thing is here...

Looks good. Thumbs up 

Now the wait for the demo starts!

  Well done!

I hope the manual is done in A4 it is a sod to read in the current size. I have printed it off A4 double sided so it is very legible - well it would be apart from the difficulty in reading some of the screenshots such as the messages shot. It may be improved if I use colour for those pages ......

I really really hope that there can be an A4 manual though. And the coloured background to the pages is one of those annoying arty farty nods to supposed Napoleonic paper quality which does nothing to improve legibility. Readers 0 Manual Designer +1

Incidentally the printing out was because I am seeing some wargaming pals tomorrow night - I want to see them drool. Not because of their age you understand but for the game. However their age  would be a factor in reading squitty A3 sized manuals.

Keep up the good work JMM and team

For the final release, there will be 2 pdf files...
A4 without background for printing
12 * 18 for reading and the hard manual.. it's the reason why we choose this first size (and not A4)

BTW, some screenshots are in French, other ones aren't good.

Just a pre-release version.

Thanks for the full info JMM. I am a little confused as to "hard manual" however I am sure you have everything in hand.

I hope to report by the weekend three more buyers! 

[HarryInk]

Yes indeed.  Nothing like enthusiasts as salespeople, is there?

I'm doing my best to promote same here in Copenhagen and back in Melbourne, Australia!

Also good to hear that you welcome a little copy editing, JMM.  I noticed a few typos last night *yawn* so I'll revisit them and jot the errors down.

Cheers and my greatest appreciation for your tremendous efforts.

Soo...have you changed your mind about uploading the 2nd book? Or it's just a short delay ? Thanks!

[JMM]

Just a delay.. I am working on a new version for the Book1.
French Book2 is finished. I have to include the English screenshot within the English Book2.

wow,quick answer! Thanks!

Thanks very much for update.   Am reading manual now - still!
A very lucid and complete one if I may say so .   Problem is that it makes me more impatient for the release of programme.

[_Cambronne_]

yeah...I wasn't that impatient since two years ago. Now if I wasn't at the office in the middle of the city,but into the countryside I could imagine colums of infantry behind that forest,a battery on that hill,squadrons of cavalry charging the battery...so on.

Enjoy reading the rules for, thanks those 2 manuals, you can have a wide explanation on how "The Engine" is going and all its potential.
