Library

I launched the game and enjoyed the introductory animation of the royal tiger - it calls to mind the Steel Panthers SSI game manual's cover.
Rather than delve right in to a game, I checked out the library. When I clicked on the Matilda and got the Tiger I. In fact I got that for all units that were listed. The Tiger I's entry is very nice - including a very detailed Osprey book like cutaway painting with the machine's battle history, but it seems to be used as a place holder. The cutaway picture's text prompts me to click to enlarge that picture but it does not do anything that I can see. The 3-D model shown for the Tiger I looks more like it is a Panzer IV with schurzen (forgive me if I cannot identify the exact sub-mark). I also do not see the stats for this unit in the game, I do not know if that is intended but it would link the library to the game's mechanics (as well as the history).
