There are only 2 missing pages, 13-14, but it would be nice to have them all. Any chance that could happen? Even if just those 2 pages could be uploaded separately it would be great.

Who reads manuals? I DO! Love to read up on the games I'm playing. Thanks!

NOTE: talking about the first game, WW1. BTW what happened to the Edit button? I'm on my iPad right now and I couldn't edit my original post.

Interesting. Pressed the "New Post" button for rach of these last two semtences and the text did appear in the original posting. Maybe the "edit" button only appears if multiple people's posts appear in a thread?

But I can't see (or spell correct!!!) my earlier posting(s)! :)

Yeah, I'm a big manuals fan too! :) But regrettably GOG took as a rule not to care much about old games they sell, and just download everything they found over the Internet. This WW1 manual they just took from GameFAQs site (or from russian Old-Games dot ru, with which they seem to collaborate for some time already. And yes, it's an only digital version of WW1 manual one can get via Internet. There are stiil some box CD copies available in Net stores that go with printed manuals but GOG doesn't want to spend its time for such a minutiae :P

I'm not into manuals in here that much, I'm afraid, but does (this """nonchalance""" regarding some manuals) it happen often?

Well, this 'nonchalance' is a complex thing, not only about manuals. I meet it here and there in everything concerning old DOS-and-early-Windows-era games selling on GOG. Strange uncomplete and low-quality soundtracks, even being not from the corresponding game (e.g. Warlords Battlecry series or Master of Magic), manuals with missing pages (War Wind series), games unpatched up to latest official patch (M.A.X.2), while patching makes them unplayable, or fan-patched without announcing it (Warlords Battlecry 3, now fixed) and so on.

I'm kinda aware of these mentioned above, yep. Wonder if folks sent a ticket for support or something for what it's worth ;)
Thanks broski dude!

As for M.A.X.2, I had sent a ticket but got the answer something like "the game is of latest version and fully playable, it's your PC's fault bla-bla-bla"... :) So I downloaded M.A.X.2 ISO from the aforementioned Russian site, installed it, patched it with the official latest patch from Interplay site, and had much fun with it, having forgotten about GOG version :)
