Retail release German v1.00. The Germans talk German (off course), not that English-German as in the US and UK version. It sound very good, but sometime its a bit overdone, making the General sound like he is drunk or from some remote location in Germany. I have been told that this is a Berlin-dialect! On the other hand the German-English does not sound really good. More like a English with an stick up his.., well you know. German-Russian is just simply bad. Included on the CD is the whole German manual, in acrobat reader format. Acrobat reader is also on the CD.
