As much as I despise the internet for the endless political commentary :roll: ,

every once in a while, the 'net displays its original promise.

What has this to do with TOAW ? Well, how about some detailed deployment maps for the German-Yugoslav war of 1944 ?

Not sure anyone can revive these TOAW 1 scenarios. They received good press ... in 2004. World Wars One and Two in Europe, by a designer credited as "E.B.".

Scenario designers might find useful bits here.

All four F2 Maps and maps G2-A and G2-B.

So, without the additional effects lent by roads or weather, one may gather some general ideas about supply distribution under the new supply rules.

1. Non playable hexes can't be entered by a unit, but supply reduction occurs within them (see second image above).

2. Alpine, dunes, flooded marsh ...

Yes, points on target.

I should mention the "backstory" of testing this. We have for TOAW (III at least) tables in pdf format that explain movement and combat effects of terrain. For supply, effects can be viewed in the game, but I was interested in a compact way of comparing terrain effects on ...

Scenario designers may find this useful.

One aspect of supply distribution under the new supply rules to bear in mind is that clear (or arid) terrain gain no supply distribution advantage from roads ... unless mud or snow is present. Lesson here is that maps with lots of clear terrain hexes tend to ...

That's some great research there, thank you so much!

Maybe some should arrive as reinforcements when/if the Allies get within XX hexes of Berlin, while the divisional unit and 3rd rgt. will start on map.

EDIT: Reading those unit histories again, the ones that weren't on map in September arrived ...

I'll look in my references.

Ersatz und Ausbildung -- Replacement and Training organization for the Hermann Goering Panzer and Panzergrenadier divisions.

One of the FJ training regiments defended Nancy in September 1944. Others may have been active in northern Germany when it got overrun in the ...

Those are intriguing solutions to the scenario design problems posed by the 1944 campaign in NW Europe, well done.

Thank you!

Why are air unit types incorrect AC gunships, A-20s for Germans in '39-45'?


Scenarios for The Operational Art of War II - Modern Battles:

The first – and some say still the best - of all WWII strategic simulation playable against the computer. The downside is that ...

I've canceled Legacy bug #21 as incorrect.

My Shiloh 1862 scenario has gunboats with ranges of 1km (scenario hex-scale is 0.25km), and my tests show that they work normally.

This bug was reported by 76mm:

I have no idea what ...

My guess would be 'ergänzung' ... meaning supplement or addition. Probably to provide replacements as you mention.

My take is that it would have been better to first fix the legacy bugs.

But, whatever, it is good that they are (eventually) fixed. And if scenario designers find the new features useful, so much the better.

Hopefully Matrix will allow the the fixes/release to go forward in reasonable time.

Amazing work Josant!

How do I change the colors for units that are broken down? I can't access them the way I can the units that are not broken down.


No can do. Broken down units will take the colors of the "mother unit".

:)

To change their color, you have to set the desired color of the original unit before it ...

The paragraph mentioned.

GAC

Think extended memory refers to a RAM architecture used back in the DOS and early Windows days. No longer used, thus none available.

I wonder how valid is the assumption that units will freely share transportation assets. IMO would be better if this was an option that a scenario designer could turn on or off.
