Of what use is possession of terrain?

Since possession of terrain does not affect supply lines, what is possession of terrain good for (except for objective hexes of course)? Running through enemy terrain converts the path to friendly terrain, but are there other effects?

a suggestion to help new players.

<t> For players who have not played TOAW 3, discussions on this forum can be somewhat confusing. For example, calling the AI the programmed opponent (PO) when it is managing one's own units was really confusing to me before I bought TOAW IV (and I have played TOAW III, though not for some years ...

RE: Scenario list by designer recommendation (AI and/or PBEM)

<t> There is also a Market Garden scenario. I played it last night with the PO playing both sides. The Germans won after 3 hours of play and 20 moves, as they did historically. There are a few hundred units on each side, so playing this solo could take many days. However using the PO to execute one ...

RE: A suggestion to help us novices

Nice, but as far as I can tell, the site does not order them in any order than that of the location, so you have to click on each one to see how big and how complex it is.

RE: Tactical Keeps Crashing: v1.4 beta

Just opt out of the beta and play with 1.3 until 1.4 is fixed. Many people on the Steam forum have reported the same problem (including me) and there Breca recommends going back to 1.3 if the hotfix does not work.

Why so many kinds of points?

<t> I could be wrong, but it seems to me that the production point system may be more complex than necessary.[8|]<br/>

There are factory points, population points, resource points, production points, research points, supply points, factory point multipliers; then there are transport capacity ...
