Thanks everybody! Quite friendly here, it seems.

This is just the sort of thing I needed. I might never have noticed those appendices had you not mentioned it, since, realistically, I probably wouldn't have gotten through the whole manual before starting a campaign.

Unfortunately that archive of the community manual just has the front page. I'll just have to make due with what's available. Any advice on which '39 flotilla to start with? Does it matter?

Edit: Oh, and I just want to say, whoever is responsible for the GWX manual is my new favorite person. It's full of a ridiculous amount of information that they really didn't need to put in. They could have just given an outline of what the mod does. Instead, there's instructions on how to play, as well as all this awesome historical background info. It's the sort of stuff that increases one's appreciation for what's happening in game. I really think he/they went above and beyond.
