Updated Manual
Now that WITE is nearly finished in terms of any major changes, would it be possible for the manual to be updated with all of the Rule changes? I know this would personally save me a lot of time (which I'm sure my opponent would rather I spend doing my turn) going through all of the notes to each update trying to fine the rule change I am looking for.

RE: Updated Manual
It has been (in the sense that the readme items have been positioned in the relevant sections of the amended manual. You should find it in your manual folder (the Amended Manual).

RE: Updated Manual
Hi all,
I have been doing it for months (years? [8D])... [;)]
Just open the "WITE-Manual-[US_LETTER].pdf" and you will see every new rule, clarifications and explanation in appropriate section of the manual!

RE: Updated Manual
Ok, as if my game with Saper wasn't humbling enough now I feel like a real idiot. Thanks for directing me to the updated Manual.

RE: Updated Manual
Could you make it so that opening the game manual in the autostarter opens the updated manual? I think that would help a few people find it. Especially the guys who aren't regularly at the forum.
RE: Updated Manual
Anywhere you can see what actually changed from the original manual to the the updated one? So I don't have to re-read eveything looking for the alterations?

RE: Updated Manual
There's a whatsnew.pdf file in the main game directory (also a readme doc as well).

Thanks for doing this, very useful.
Now it is possible that I've missed these two things.
Could this be stickied. Until I did a search I had no idea it existed. Yes I kow the changes are in the whatsnew but as others have said, this version has all the changes in context with the original.
Could a version be produced that is not in US-letter format so that we europeans can pront it out easily
RE: Updated Manual
Hi all,
My pleasure! [:)]
It is now! [:D]

You can print it just fine using Adobe PDF function "Fit" (i.e. "US Letter" is not that different from European "A4" and "Fit" option does a great job).

RE: Updated Manual
is the whole manual posted anywhere? I'd like to look at it before purchasing. Specifically what player aids are available for newbies to blunt the learning curve. I've read many of the AAR's and looks like information overload.

RE: Updated Manual
The link to the manual posted does not have all of the current game rule updates.
You will find the actual game has alot of changes from what is written in that manual such as command points for Soviet armies and several other changes to how units work and numbers. Is another one online in the forums where a guys went in and added in all the changes from patchs but its not as pretty as the orginial rulebook.

tm.asp?m=3862472 - Condensed rules as of 1.08.03
1.08.05 should include and updated manual with changes up to and including 1.08.02, maybe the author finds some free time to update it further.

RE: Updated Manual
So is the printed manual now for sale (August 2015) the original manual or a version which includes current updates?

RE: Updated Manual
It's the original, and IIRC, only a small portion of the WitE pdf manual was printed.

RE: Updated Manual
For 2.0, have you 2by3 guys considered making the manual (or perhaps a core set of the rules) available on the web in a wiki form? Then as rules change they can be kept up to date in one location that everyone can reference? Some of the hardcore dedicated players might be willing to help keep it up to date as patches come out, if more manpower is needed.

Brilliant idea. It is hard enough to learn this game without an out-of-date rulebook.
Only why not do it now? Simple enough to publish the existing rulebook as html.
