Hello folks,
I have a blog in which I play old wargames, and sometimes I encounter games with no manual on Internet, or at least no high-quality manual.
I am currently looking for the Manuals for Southern Command and for Torpedo Fire, if anyone has them. I only found .doc manual, which is sufficient for Torpedo Fire (but I would love to check the real one), and a bit less so for Southern Command.
Given there is no dedicated thread to find manual, I can just as well have this thread serves this purpose, so if YOU are looking for some manuals for old old games, please say so :).
If you're talking about two old Apple II games, you can find their documentation (in doc form) on this page.
http://ftp.cuhk.edu.hk/pub/oldies/apple2/images/games/strategy/SSI/
The files also contain the dsk versions of the games.
Hope this helps.
Thanks, actually I had that one - I was really looking for the PDF. Oh, thanks anyway.

Easy enough these days to convert a .doc file to .pdf format. I can do it if you like. LMK, post here.Ah, never mind. I see the .doc file is missing graphics, so I'm guessing you want a complete text/graphics PDF.
Hello,
Just pushing this up to state that I got a Southern Command manual... from Roger Keating himself.
I uploaded it here : https://archive.org/details/southern-command-ssi-roger-keating
Only Napoleon's Campaign by SSI (not any other Napoleon game, or AGEOD's Napoleon Campaign) to go :).
I own Napoleon's Campaigns (SSI) in the original box with all the contents.
What exactly do you need?
What I would LOVE is a scan of the manual + reference cards.
Ideally, it would be great to upload it on Archives.org (for instance what I just did (https://archive.org/details/southern-command-ssi-roger-keating/page/n1/mode/2up) with Keating's version of Southern Command, with his agreement) so it is lost by no one, but else if you could send it to me.... :smitten:

Sending it to you was exactly what I had in mind.
So I received the manuals (and actually the whole game) from @Senex ! Thanks a thousand !
I uploaded it (with map) here if you are curious :

I am starting to play Napoleon's Campaigns for real.
I am also checking what comes next, and if someone would have the manual for Road to Gettysburg (which plays a lot like Napoleon's Campaigns apparently) and / or Pursuit of the Graf Spee, I would love it !
