	Probably a dumb question--manual Suffering from ads?

Okay, I just bought the game from EB, and there was no manual in the box. Was I sold an incomplete product, or is there actually no printed manual?

There is a manual, but it is more like a pamphlet. There is also a separate card with a few charts. Neither are comprehensive, but both came with my EB copy of the game which I pre-ordered by mail.

If you want a complete manual, the official strategy guide is a very good substitute. It also has some good tips on strategy.

Right-click on the cd drive with the RON cd in. Select 'Explore' and then go to the goodies folder. There are pdf files of the manual in most languages.

I think that companies leave out the manual so they can sell strategy guides. However, there should be a little 38 page brocure and a fold-out tech chart.

Guynemer: where in A2 are you? I'm just off pontiac. And I thought Eb renamed itself to Gamestop when it moved...

I live down by Briarwood... EB is there in the mall.

Now I'm pissed.

Oh, yeah. I forgot about them. [edit- googled for school]

Back on topic: was the box unopened when you got it? Stopping by EB and screaming at them can't hurt.

	Put an end to popups!

So you can scream at them in style?

But that's a shame about the manual being so inadequate, though 38 pages does sound like it could some close to explaining the game - but charts sound cool.

I thought about starting a "Probably a dumb manual -- question?" copy-cat thread, but don't want to be sent to Rahlcatraz.
