It is available on an enhanced DVD containing a one-hour video explaining the rules with examples of play and explanatory graphics.

They are both exportable to any iPad or tablet for tableside reference.
The rules include printable PDF templates for the following: Linear warfare (1699-1774); Wars of Revolution (1775-1801); The Napoleonic Wars (1801-1815); The Wars of Transition (1861-1871) which includes ACW and FPW, and The Colonial Period (1840-1902).

The disc may be played on either Mac or PC, and is regionless, making it usable in any part of the world. The video and printable items are chaptered for quick access. The video plays on any DVD player or computer, although the PDFs and QT slideshow are only viewable on a computer.
