Just coming off a game of Rising Sun, it would be nice if you could switch from day to night in the middle of a scenario, so all games wouldn't have to be exclusively day or night. I'd also say Dawn and Dusk, but since Day and Night are already in the game that might be asking too much.

there's more to wars than just battlefield victories.<br/>

Right. But wars which are decided primarily or solely by such factors do not make suitable subjects for TOAW. The boardgame "Superpower" was pretty interesting for covering ...

Rising Sun has better music! Seriously, much as I love them both, TOAW is better, because of its replacement system, logistics, and other realistic aspects of warfare that most games don't mod.

I heard there was a program that helps convert Google Maps to TOAW files by giving them a hex overlay. Is this true? Any other good programs for map making?

Thanks Siberian HEAT. I'm just skimming it but Golden Delicious' comments look pretty reasonable. (The author said he just wanted a 'beer and pretzels' scenario) Anyone know a good site that would have OOB and initial deployments?

ooooooooooooooooooooooh yeah!

Point taken. I meant to say "the jungle".

<r> First off, major kudos to Matrix for resurrecting these games. OpArt of War and Rising Sun are still on my computer (I keep an old pre-XP around just for "Rising Sun") If I had to give a wish list (And RS is the only one I've played), it would be:<br/>

Whoops. My apologies. For some reason I was thinking about Rowan's "Battle of Britain".

<r> Some emerging conventional wisdom is that if the Luftwaffe had managed to achieve air superiority by destroying/neutralizing 11 Group, and put the Germans in a position where they COULD launch Sea Lion, the British government would have sued for peace rather than risk invasion and occupation.<br ...

Seriously, I thought the original was pretty good as is. Maybe also some night bombing (I doubt for moral reasons that the game could try and accurately simulate the ...

<r> Without trying to start a back-and-forth: TOAW already includes both the Marine offensive into Kuwait and Operation Desert Storm, which as battles were as one sided as Hervé Villechaize vs. Mike Tyson. This at least lets the Iraqis keep the initiative and strike while they're still strong. Yes ...

<r> Woah! I wasn't trying to make the case that Iraq should have done this, I was just suggesting the possibilites for a scenario. I think Ray (alias Lava) brings up the most interesting criticism, and I must confess I'm not a professional military officer, and while I know a little logistics I ...

That's what interested me as well. It's sort of a race against time for the Coalition to deploy before the Iraqi's capture Saudi ports and airfields.<br/>

<r> My personal favorite scenarios are Attu, Kiska, Cuba, and Grenada. Any scenario that gives its generals as much latitude as possible and has a lot of random events is going to win major kudos from me. I guess if I had a wish list, the scenarios on it would be:<br/>
