Hi Adam_P and welcome. Who is this Manuel fella and why is everyone losing him today?

Seriously, have you explored the CD that had the game? Or one of the other CD that came with the PC? Maybe there is a PDF version of the manual on one of them. The strategy guide is another option as is checking out the Table of Content (ToC) thread that Hop mentioned. For the basic of combat, run through the battle tutorial and jot down the commands it teaches you.

I hope that helps. BTW, if you do find the manual on one of the CDs, could you post back and let us know? It may help someone else in the future. Thanks.
