It should be on the QRDC - in replacement of one of the less useful charts.

I'll stick to the printed version for the time being. If someone gets frustrated enough to throw dice, +1 DRM (I use a 4" D-Ring binder).

Woohoo, this is great, just downloaded. But is it just me, or is the Wargame Vault website a weird mix of Spanish and English?

You can set your language preference on the bottom right of the main page, but there are some titles that are only available in a non-English version.

Thanks for that...I wasn't worried about the titles, but the text of the site itself--stuff like "Register." "Shopping Cart," etc was all in Spanish, while the game titles were in English. Now it is all better...if you're taking suggestions for your website, I would suggest moving the language setting up to the top right somewhere, like most websites. I actually looked for a language setting, but didn't look in the bottom right corner...

We're always looking for suggestions to improve our service, and our techs have been coding a new site overhaul for some time now. I'll be sure to remind them to place the language options in a more prominent place on the site, thanks for the suggestion!

Small bit of trivia: It looks like the long-lost page H30 has made its triumphant return in the eRB as a blank notes page.

For the uninitiated, page H30 disappeared in the second edition and was replaced with the "lettered" pages H28 and H29.

So is there a consensus for which pdf viewer is best for reading the eASLRB on iPads? I've tried several different ones, but each of them is lacking in some way...can't search, can't follow hyperlinks, can't view ToC, can't annotate, etc. etc.

I will try FoxIt based on what I've seen here so far but would like to hear of other good options.

I think in this or another thread, wuwei recommended Okular which among other things preserves the zoom.

That may be right, don't know the best recommendation for an iPad.

Nor do I. I’m current using FoxIt on my iOS devices and there are some minor issues, as others have noted. Very functional, though.

When I post an update, I include a brief note in the notification email so describe the basic changes.
Might be valuable to put this info on the WGV product page somehow so that lookie-lous like me can be tempted into buying it....

I use PDF Expert on iPad, and it does all those things.

would be nice if H30 contained that note, for people tryng to track down something from decades old posts or magazine articles or are familiar only with very old versions of the rulebook, etc.

I use GoodReader on my iPad and it works great.
I've got GoodReader too, and it is pretty good, but I don't see any way to view the Table of Contents? Difficult to navigate around...or am I missing something?

UPDATE: I found a function in FoxIt that allows the export of all comments to a .fdf file that can then be imported. I tested it with a single comment I made in the new version of the eASLRB and when I imported it into the original version, the comment appeared in the right place and was identical in every respect. Of course, how well that would work with hundreds of comments imported into pages where some of those pages may have been reformatted and new pages added is another matter.
Where is this feature in FoxIt? I couldn't find it...also, is there any way to easily access the Table of Contents or bookmarks? So far I've found all of these apps rather difficult to navigate around...
