There used to be a US cover art for Aftermath, but about four-five years ago it was deleted, even though it was legit. How so?

There is no related correction logged and there is no rejected cover on the backend.

I do remember it was there, perhaps only with the main box art (front) missing.

Actually, the US cover is rare on the Internet, even the main cover can mostly be found in crappy quality. I know I'm not mad :)

Wasn't there in late 2010.

This is pretty strange. There's definitely nothing in the audit log that explains what happened, and I even tried digging around in the DB to see if I could find any evidence, but I couldn't find anything relevant. The cover was approved in 2002, changed platforms in 2003 and again in 2004, still existed in 2009... and then it was gone. A mystery.

That's not a cover. Manual front scan. Deleted by admin.

In that age, US jewel case covers were actually tiny manuals, at least for Westwood games, as I understand it.

Maybe, but I was under the impression that deleting covers in the usual way should add a note to the audit log. Does that not happen if you delete using the split/merge tool, maybe? Or did you find some note about it that I missed?

I think deleting completely nukes without audit notes right now, and that should probably be fixed... it's not used much by admins fortunately.

I have the same manual in the re-release box Domination Pack. I could be wrong since I've never seen the original US version, but maybe it's specific to the re-release and not a part of the original?

I don't see it in any of the three groups you linked?

I guess I could add some scans, then.

probably it was the instruction manual which was unacceptable in 2002.
