3rd of August 2009 - Manual and some Info

You wanted a demo before release and you will get a demo before release. We’ll publish it on media sites worldwide, like Fileplanet etc. The launch will be at 9am PST (6pm CET) tomorrow Tuesday.

In anticipation of the demo release, we are releasing the in-game manual. Either to give you something to do before the demo or to give you the upper hand once it’s released on Friday.

Demo details:
You will be able to play the 1939 scenario for 4 months, until January 1940, as either Germany, Poland, France or United Kingdom, with full access to all gameplay features. The demo will also contain the tutorial.

Thank you Johan! Glad all the repeated requests for manuals and demos didn't make you withhold them to teach us all a lesson

Wow the game manual and the demo announcement. Couldn't have made my day any better, thanks!

Will the scenario be replayable? Or can you only try it once?
