Re: About the Scenarios that come with the Game and others

That is great: a 197 turn scenario - switching to half-week was exactly what I dreamed of.
2 more Questions on that:
a) I have read that AAR beforehand and that made me ask for this version and got interested in that scenario. Alas, they seem to use another graphic mod, that I really like ...

Re: Deutsch-Französischer Krieg 1870/71

Thanks a lot. Yes, I have the latest version from Rhinobones - and yes, it is a bit intimidating.
BUT: no air no naval and only a handful of unit types. Right now I am doing a small Eastfront scenario and if I feel comfortable with that, I may be tempted to try that historical thing..

Deutsch-Französischer Krieg 1870/71

I am new to the Game and would start the above scenario, playing as the German side.
Does anyone have experience with this (often overlooked, but so important) conflict scenario in ToAW?

Re: one question about flanking attack penalty

Good question - no answer.. can anyone jump in?
I also would like to know about timestamps and s/2.. Is it neglected in that case? If not, how can you prevent those supporting units to take part?

Sicily to Brenner Pass.. Versions?

I would like to play that scenario as German against PO..
Q:
a) is that existing?
b) is there a version other then the one that comes with the game with an intimidating number of 700 daily (!!) turns?
I am thinking of like 200 turns (half weeks) and I seem to remember an AAR about one that spoke ...

Re: About the Scenarios that come with the Game and others

Thanks again for being so helpful!
I also found Larry Fulkersons topic: Recent submissions to TOAW IV to be very helpful, since it provides me with a list of scenarios especially made or optimised for ToAW IV (at least in theory), so I have a safe place to start..

Anyone up for a smaller scenario? Preferably PreWWI

Well.. just that.. I would like to start with an easy going one without air and naval. Just to get the hang of PBEM of TOAW IV.
I can manage at least 1 turn/day.
Cheers

Re: Recent Scenario Submissions for TOAW IV

Your list, Larry, is a big help for a newbie of the Game like me, who is/was struggling with
finding scenarios that are a 100% TOAW IV suitable, since I don´t want to end up playing a scenario in a way, that spoils it, because the advanced rules are not meant to be played or something else.

Thanks for your quick and profound reply!
May I nevertheless ask you to answer a bit more specifically the questions that are troubling me - some may require just a yes/no answer. That would really help me.

Re: Adventures with Brian In Italy

It´s been a while since this thread is active. But I would like to ask:

a) did you use any map mod - the scenario that comes with the game looks different.
b) is THIS the FStBrP-scenario from within the original game: it says it has 700+ turns and you mention much less in the thread, so I was ...

Re: Severe UI and gameplay issues

My scaling is 125 % and for the rest I have the same preferences like the ones hobbes mentioned (40 pixels, programm, not map).
It now works on three sides, but not for moving the map up.

Re: Severe UI and gameplay issues

Yes, I supposed that LOS was linked to the unit but isn´t that a bit over the top? Is an M113 really so much different from a Leo2 from 2 km apart??? I really would prefer a sort of average LOS that can be reached more easily than with the procedure I am having to undergo now.

Hey Cbelva,
thanks for pointing me to Section 54.3.3 in the tutorial manual.. I indeed must have overlooked it although I really read those 300 pages.. Still, I think, that this important feature, of how to check the LOS of any hex should be a) pointed out more pronounced b) is way to complicate to ...

Re: Retreating is Very Difficult

In my experience there is a lot of settings you have to change from the default SOP in order to make your main line battle units do, what you want them to and you need to have them ALL changed.
An important one - besides standoff hexes, casualties accepted and the like seems tactical initiative ...
