If you are on Vista or Win7, they do not support the old style Windows Help files (*.hlp).

If that is what's happening to you, check out the following link to restore the .hlp function to Windows.

It would be best to use the Unit Viewer that is available from the Start --> Programs (or Programs Files) --> John Tillers Campaign Series --> Unit Viewer. This will give you a complete a listing of all the platoons available in the Campaign Series.

Thanks Mike! It worked great for me. The manual probably has all that, but I find the "F3" parameter data handy. Plus I couldn't find the modifier for shooting up/down hill in the manual; but it was easy to find in parameter screen.
