Several manuals would be good, easier to find what you need, since this would be rather big, when looking at what already is at x-com.co.ukShould we have several manuals ex.
Xcom Field manual
Xcom Commanders Manual
Xcom Pilots Manual
or some overall manual ex
Xcom Operations Manuals

Well, I'd say one for geoscape, and one for battlescape (assuming we also add geoscape stuff?), then some subcategories, which are a bit harder...Okay if we do multiple manuals, what will they be?
-UFO recovery
-terror sites
-base assault
-base defence
-...

Actually, give me a bit and I'll get the "to do list" posted. I have to find it, is all.

- The Quartermaster's logbook - on maintaining stores
- Human Resources Memo - on hiring staff and accomodation (not really, but .. eh)
- The R&D and Workshop Ergonomics Guide
- Structural Engineer's Report - On base construction, location and layouts notes.
- Absolute Beginners guide of Psionics for Dummies (In addendums)
- So Your House Is Being Attacked By Creatures-From-Another-Galaxy

And so much more, for a staggering $99.99 with a money back guarantee if you get blown to smithereens. Refund only applicable on personal application.

I think addendums might be cool too, perhaps coming off as your kind of "fake real life soldier action report" sorta thing, as if it were written by one.
Anyway, I'd be interested in trying to write up something for the Quartermaster stores portion and/or contributing to the R&D bits. In many respects the topics are interrelated with regard to self sustainment economically speaking.

Battlescape
BaseScape
Geoscape
Interception Window
Have a few manuals with sections. Maybe even the last three list here could be combined (although I do like the idea of a separate Pilots manual). Anyway how 'bout if someone makes a tree describing all this ("main" manuals with sub categories).
