Ordered them all up.

Okay I ordered all four titles, when they come if I have done my research right I need to:

Install ATF, apply ATF patch, install additional Scenarios from Shrapnel Gamesite.
Install Raging Tiger, apply RT Patch.
Install Falklands War, apply FW Patch.
Install TSATC, apply TSATC Patch.

I will be installing all of these into the directory that I install ATF to.

Then I am good to go? The only thing I even kind of miss out on is scenario briefings you need to hunt for on some of the older titles?

Missing anything?

Thanks

You got it right.

Im in the process of putting together a list of all the scenario briefings (their titles, location etc) with html links to their location on my hard drive. If you install the c:\\Program Files\Armored Task Force it will work for you and Ill send you a copy when I finish it. Only thing is I dont have Raging Tiger so......

That would be great, thanks.

Another question, do you need only the manual that comes with TSATC?

[Pat Proctor]

First of all, thanks for your purchase! I hope you enjoy the games.

Each game comes with a printed manual. The beginning of each manual is very similar, since the games are based on a similar engine. Where they differ is in Chapter 2, the tutorial (which is custom to each game) and in Chapter 6, which provides vehicle and scenario data which is unique to each game.

So, I guess the answer to your question is that, if you want to just learn the game, any manual is fine (though I think ATF uses probably the best scenario for learning the interface in the tutorial). But, as you get into the game, each manual has some additional things to offer.
