Recognition Manual Confusion - What's Included in Which Package?

Captain Krunch · 02-15-07, 04:22 PM

I noticed that today's announcement of the super-duper deluxe collector's edition states that it includes a "116-page Deluxe Version of the Recognition Manual, containing twenty more pages than the Collector's Edition manual." It goes on to say that it includes details on all 48 Japanese vessels and all 40 US vessels.

Yet when I review the list of included goodies listed on the US SH4 website, it only refers to a "fold out ship recognition poster" - there is no mention of a dedicated recognition manual. So does this list of "premium bonus material" only refer to the standard edition of SH4? Does this imply that there's still a US Collector's edition that has not been advertised yet that might include a recognition book? What am I missing here? What do you guys think?

(Not that it is that big a deal; I have reprints of the actual ONI-208-J and ONI-222-J recognition manuals from history-on-cdrom.com that I could always use).
