Doh! I could have saved $15! I bought the Amazon US version linked from the Subsim sticky though so it's all good
From that picture of the collector's edition (from Jungman's amazon link), the recognition manual still only shows the ships in isometric. Did that annoy anyone else? Iso views just seem out of place in a historical game's setting. I would still have liked to have got the spiral bound recognition manual though.
If you havent got Sh4 yet that gogamer deal is awesome!
