Its my practice to investigate a little more before purchasing. I've never owned this game I like operational, strategic level and tactical.(maybe tactical a little more). <br/>
<br/>
Those who own this title, could you give me a good reason for ...

For example, I have been modifiying a scenario based on GDW's Third World War including all four theatres. The map is quite large, covering Scandinavia to the Persian Gulf. For the ground combat (and map scale), 20-25 miles per hex is ...

<t> I am not sure about the air units but when I had arty units (e.g. towed arty) mixed in with SSM (e.g. FROG missile) I thought you could make long range strikes using the missile range but rest of the arty does not fire. <br/>
<br/>
Actually SSM strikes against airfields are deadly (perhaps too ...

How does War in the Pacific compare with TOAW. I have been tempted to buy in the past when TOAW seemed to be dead. Does it model ground combat well enough or is it mostly air/naval game? Can you make new scenerios? (i assume they are limited to the Pacific theater in WWII)

thanks for the link and the advice. Nemo i replied to your pm.
TOAWIII is the best game ever.

<t> Apologies in advance for this (stupid) question. i am waiting for a new PC to replace my old WinMe machine but I simply can not wait until the new PC arrives to download TOAWIII. Is it possible to download TOAWIII to the old machine and then "transfer" it to the new PC or should I just wait for ...

thank you, thank you, thank you. I can not wait. I am already designing scenarios...
Thanks to everyone for their hard work. Hopefully we can live to see TOAW LXXVII with even more improvements...

<r> First of all many. many thanks to everyone involved with TOAWIII. We are grateful for all your efforts and are eagerly awaiting the TOAWIII release.<br/>

I had a question/suggestion for a future mod.<br/>
One of the problems with the event editor is its limited ability to support ...

<t> I'd buy any naval expansion/variant of TOAW as soon as it comes out. I know I may be in the minority here but that is one aspect of TOAW that always bothered me. It does not have to be perfect or nearly as detailed as the land combat model just enough to inject some realistic constraints into ...

Fantastic! Knowing that information alone will result in me buying the game.<br/>
I liked reading all the scenario suggestions people have listed, but give me a good ole Nato vs WP battle anyday.<e>[/quote]</e></QUOTE>
I will try to answer your ...

<t> you may want to know that both Trey Marshal and I have made scenarios based on the GDW series you refer to. I think Trey's scenarios were a more faithful reproduction of the GDW games. My 1988 Global Conflict scenario is based on my own modifications I had made over the years to the GDW WWIII ...

Greece and Turkey during the 1975 war over Cyprus, What if it lead to Pact and NATO involvement?<br/>
<br/>
I think this is your strongest candidate for a scenario (There were some threats of war as recently as 1998), but then you run into TOAW's ...

I am outrageously biased, and TOAW helps to cure me of some of that. <br/>

Anyway, thought I'd post it to see how many people I could scare!

looks great!!! Now we need a few scenarios to go with it [:D]

I really do think that for these truly combined-arms-at-the-operational-level situations a standalone game is required, that can take due account of the actual situation. Trying to bend TOAW to fit simply isn't going to work. [:)]<e ...

<r> <QUOTE><s>[quote]</s>Yes, but this is not a database issue, but a bug. I found out that SAMs worked, but first you had to multiply their Anti-air values for no less than 100, and sometimes by more than a 1000. <e>[/quote]</e></QUOTE>
I know. Bad example on my part.<br/>

<r> <QUOTE><s>[quote]</s>The point is that really, the values need to be modifiable. One can no more make a universally applicable database than one can make a universally ideal woman. It all depends on what the user has in mind... <e>[/quote]</e></QUOTE>
