Just read the manual [Posted on 2005-04-13]
I was looking for several specific things in this strategy guide:
1. More details on weapons (how damage, rate of fire, etc. were modeled in the game).
2. Specifics for missions--numbers, locations, and armament of the Germans. Where specific save locations are.
3. How to attack each German position in the game.

What was delivered:
1. The weapon details are the same as the manual. I didn't see other details.
2. The book covers 'Normal' difficulty. German positions for higher levels are not mentioned. MG-42 (machine gun) positions are mentioned but no other armaments are discussed. Save positions are not included.
3. A general strategy is discussed with possible alternative attack positions. While a few areas are discussed in detail, there are a few places where the whole strategy is "eliminate the two Germans as you advance".

Overall, I am not impressed with this guide. It does not deliver the info I was looking for. Also, the book is repetitive. For example, the main text will have a description of your attack path. Then there will be a "tactical overview" which quotes the main text. Then there will be highlights that again quote the same thing.

Unless you are having problems developing strategy in the easy or normal mode, don't bother with this manual.
