That is neat. Good find!
There must also be a flyable computer available for Nefarious to do FSO. So he doesn't keep talking about it for eight and a half hours on Friday night!

 Nice find Save,I've seen a few others that were similar,remember they were dealing with "young" men,kids really,so the comic book approach was really a great idea.

These are actually watered down.  If you find the full Tiger I manual, there are quite a few nude drawings in there.... soldier porn 1940's style.

 I can't remember who found it during Dawn of Battle Scenario, though.  

EDIT... FULL manual here...  http://tiger1.info/fibel/

Includes ranging charts for Allied main battle tanks, for 3,6,9 and 12 shots....and also the "danger" ranges for each Allied tank on the Tiger, if I'm not mistaken (From the German POV) "Ich werde abgeschossen" means basically "I'm shot"... "Das Betreten des Kleeblattes ist verboten" means "Entering the clover is forbidden (T34)"







Gotta love their aiming tutorial.
