I'm a relative TOAW newb but I am pretty sure they are supply indicators...theres a way I believe, to bring up the % of supply on top of them too..

Very interesting Steve, I did watch a tutorial on this, well, it was a lot more complex, you broke it down and made it easier for tired old mind to grasp, many thx.

I am reading the link you sent, well, the link at the link posted by tamas, the Timestamp explanation was very valuable for this new ...

I am replying because I have just finished reading:

"TOAW Strategy Guide - version 1.06" by Steve Knowlton and Steve Schneider dated 26 January 1999 from The Wargamer.com

There seem to be very few discussion articles on wargames these days - or have all disputes been resolved?

PS ...

Been a long time since my last TOAW game.............anyway, jumped into Directive 21, played it a while back.
I have forgotten some of the nuances.

Is it better or does it matter if I execute planned battles all together, creating 4-5 a dozen, or do them one at a time, meaning; I plan one battle ...

I offer my condolences to family and friends as well............. Berto was well known among us and gave of himself that these communities would thrive, he, like John T., helped make comp. gaming what it is today...........He wont be forgotten as his work, right here for example, will live on....RIP.

Nope, for all intents and purposes, when Frost is gone, so is victory;)

Is there a BINH LONG planning map? I miss it?

Feel like I am walking thru a graveyard....but I'll take a shot, see if there are any folks like me that revisit these excellent games...

This variant, MG free landing isnt at https://www.ssg.com.au/?page=scenarios

anyone have it and willing ot share?

Thx very much in advance....

Shouldn't the Weight & Carry Stats screen reflect that? I was left scratching my head for quite a while wondering what was going on.

So the fix for this is to find a unit with an extra heavy tractor and transfer it to this unit?


Yes, you need a specific primer mover for those guns....you have ...

I look at the little troop type icon, ( the small one next to the Bullets(intercept rate), that can tell you your 'carry' type status, its waking at gun mobility speed right now, sometimes ( as germans) my arty units get additions that overwhelm my horses, I scrap a few guns and the icon turns back ...

It would be nice and practical if say a 6 Chinook wasnt limited to one unit no matter its SP, in short if helos could load to capacity eve if it means more than 1 unit....

Good question, would love to see an answer..thx.

One of the new items on the game that I think doesn't make much sense or trying to be to clever by half...so, there "may" be a 'unit', so I am supposed to use a unit to run around the rear area checking to be sure the units I killed havent ...what? Become zombies?

and yes 3 and 4 don't make much ...

Thx for taking the time for posting these lloyd, I have begun to figure out the supply issue with your assistance, the deplete mode helps a great deal.

Supply Consumption is the units' required upkeep. So you could think of that as food, medical supplies, spare parts, etc
If a unit can't meet it's upkeep, then readiness will take a big hit.

The offensive modifier is a bit more strange. A unit uses supplies during each "round" of combat. If it ...

Heads up- be attentive with the German mixed artillery- the map will tell you are in range, but the 10.5 cm (range 10) may be out of range while the other guns are in. Applies to armored artillery (Wepse and Hummel have different ranges) as well as the couple mixed nebelwerfer units...


Ah yes ...

well, ok then....I guess I'm not the only one...

I've given up trying to figure this out, so I'll post here and hopefully some gurus can enlighten me;)

First; Unit stats-

what is the difference between supply consumption and offensive modifier for low supplies?

-If the unit has '3 green gas cans', meaning it hasnt consumed it supplies and 'all ...

thank you sir, looking at it now, its pretty obvious

wow, so there is no way to look up the hex ranges weapons? If so, that is ludicrous....
