That's nothing- wait until you see it in the flesh. It makes small press look like the big leagues while managing to look and feel like a booklet that your teacher put together in primary school.
I wasn't fussed though- if anything, it just adds to the comedy value and makes it feel a bit more 'special'.

Is that 'special' as in 'special needs'?

It looks exactly like a wargames manual from the 1980s... perhaps it's a homage.

So Byron- have you ever done that thing where you feed a line to a crowd, sit back and wait for one of them to come back with about the most obvious, and thus ultimately unfunny, 'funny' in creation?
I have to be honest- I thought it would be Gary...
