There will be actually three manuals included.

When using all the optional rules, the full sequence of play has 60 phases, 85 subphases, 11 sub-subphases, and 7 digressions. Volume 1 of the Players Manual describes who does what in each phase/subphase and how the game transitions between them.

The second volume covers the player interface in detail, with screenshots of all 150+ forms
Each form has accompanying text describing the form's visual elements and how to make decisions using the form
The text from this section of the Players Manual is available during game play as context sensitive help. During a game you don't need to leaf through the Players Manual looking for how to use a form, just click on the Help button to bring up the text from the Players Manual that describes the form 

2nd volume also contains all the optional rules and their explanations and the appendices with all the stuff.

3rd volume is the rulebook, basically.

Hey, 1998 called. They want their interface back.

It does remind me of Threesixty's High Command: Europe 1939 - 1945.

I know, right? They MUST be bad. Because I have a soft spot for shitty interfaces.

Point is, they got the name of the city of Debrecen right, which is quite a rare feat in wargaming.




It is from an other AAR: http://www.matrixgames.com/forums/tm.asp?m=3411644&mpage=1&key=

Yes, a BDSM and bestiality combo should keep me from doing it again.

Tamas, are you involved in this? I see that the NDA agreement for the beta is with Slytherine... 

Tamas isn't being assigned to that beta.  They have him focusing on beta vulgaris.

[Ed Anger]

He is sculpting the interface out of mud and beets.
