<t> I believe the difference here is your whole army or just that one unit. In a retreat before combat, yeah, that one unit spends movement points and thus will take more stars (typically) if it then plans an attack. But, your whole army is not affected.... other attacks will still take the same ...

<t> Gee wiz.... when it comes to stiring up the pot.... one thing I have always been good at... though I should say.... sometimes ticks people off <g>.<br/>

Anyways....... yeah, evaparated seemed strange to me at first but.... eliminated... is not really appropriate because some elements of ...

<t> You could always use the 'Golden Delicious' approach (hehe... I call it that because I believe GD was the one who mentioned it to me)... just send in one measily destroyer and let all the other ships 'support the attack'. With this approach, the most you will get destroyed is the destroyer (not ...

<t> IMO.... what the wargaming community could stand.... is a generic ahistorical game (with scenarios with historical flavor) that is set in the ancient/mideval/pre 1870 era.<br/>
<br/>
The thing that would be different in a game like this... combared to AT..... is your armies are pretty much ...

I was actually referring to the Africa scenario from Advanced Tactics DiT. Have you given that one ...

<t> One thing I gotta change.... is my forum name. You are the second designer now that has referred me as 'dead'..... and I had to to a double take on that before I realized you were talking to me.<br/>

I have to change my ISP account soon so guess I will change my forum name at that time ...

<t> As far as PT is concerned.... you should know, you wrote it <g>.<br/>

As far as TOAW is concerned.... big difference. Been around a long time and I imagine every developer that has had his hands on it has made an improvement.<br/>

It comes up in a true windowed mode.... with ...

<t> I recently did a bit of a survey, and found that in AT, there are 165 hexes displayed in the hex display area, while in PT (People's Tactics, AT's predesessor), there are 330 hexes in the hex display area, and in TOAW, 294.<br/>
<br/>
Uh, a matter of bigger artwork and bigger hexes than in PT ...

Hmmm.... I dunno. I DLed this corps level Russian front scenario from Rugged Defense... by Col Wayne Close.... and it looks really well done (and I prefer scenarios with less counters not more) and.... he has these partisian units and as the German player..... the first ...

<t> Jam..... <g>.... I got no problem with you (for what it is worth) and was not knocking you nor whatever your roll is here in the AT forums.<br/>
<br/>
My only point was... because you play a roll here as well as in the TOAW forums... you would see any comments made here about TOAW and thus ...

<t> Thanks for the defense but I don't think it was necessary.... there for sure is one 'dumb-ass' player that consistently lets his units get surronded.... Elmer!<br/>

The problem is there is a difference between PBEM games and games against the computer.... and a lot of us prefer to play ...

<t> There's a TOAW Russio Japanese War scenario out there all right, by Eric Nygaard... and is pretty well done of course.<br/>
<br/>
Of course, in TOAW, ain't much with the naval system. The ships are all there all right but the game admittedly has not much of a naval system. One thing Eric was ...

<t> Oh, apparently the reason I can't drop on the island villages is because they are villages, not because there is water in between. But, they are still one hex island cities (there are two of em) and thus it looks like there isn't anyways they can be reached or otherwise brought under control.<br ...

<t> I'm playing this ramdom generated game against the computer and, the map generator generated this 'lake' with two island cities (villages actually) in it and there are no ports on the lake on the coast, and I am thus having a problem in taking control of these cities.<br/>

I built an air ...

<t> Widell, maybe a key thing here is as I originally posted, that I am a fan of the Grigsby style of games. In other words, historicity down to the detailed level, and guess my concern with TOAW is that, IMO, it has serious lackings if you get deep enough into the game systems.<br/>

Ug ...

<t> Hmmmm..... wasn't really trying to iritate anyone.... just saying things as I see them.<br/>

I never used the term 'useless' but.... if it comes to the point where I find TOAW's flaws so severe that I can't enjoy playing the game at all.... that is MY call... sheesh.<br/>

<t> Ug.... what the heck. I do not have AT yet (have played a lot of PT though) but have had TOAW3 for like 6 months and am quite familiar with it so... yeah... what the heck... may as well make my 'not necessarily blatantly positive comments'. <g><br/>

As far as TOAW3 is concerned... great ...
