The game runs into trouble right after you load it up. You look around for the manual to describe how the game works and only find a single piece of paper with loading instructions, the basic keyboard and mouse commands and a web address for the online manual. Ok, so I fire up the online manual (after noting that there had been an update and downloading it and installing it) with expectations of detailed instructions for game mechanics. Nope, just generic discussions of the two sides, background of the conflict and detailed discussion of the various skills available to each side. There is absolutely nothing that would help you understand the game or how to play it. A tutorial or at least a non-online scenario to play to get the feel of the game and its interface would have been very welcomed.
