How about the Top Ten reasons I like to play TOAW, from the home office in Boring, Maryland:

10. It has two names, so if you can't pronounce TOAW, you can say OPART.

9. Its almost as good as Donkey Kong.

8. Its more fun than learning the Metric System.

7. Nobody gives a ratsass that I do.

6. It keeps me from from driving my Ford Fiesta.

5. It keeps my mind off Pamela Anderson.

4. It keeps my thighs flabby.

3. It keeps me from pursuing that nasty 'Quit Smoking' resolution.

2. I enjoy the company of the OPART Cheerleaders.

1. Ants, Gameyness and RBC's !!


Thanks to David Letterman, and remember - no wagering.

Still loving those modern scenario's i see mandraker.Here are my top ten scenario's

1. Europe Aflame by Mark Stevens and Ulver Nielsen

2.Western Front 1944-1945

3. Red Thunder 1988

4. Campain for South Vietnam by Curt Chambers

5. BAOR 1990 by Trey Marshall

6. Campain for North Africa by Bob Cross

7. Call to Arms by Curt Chambers

8. Korea 50-51 by the legend himself Norm

9. Middle East 73 also by Norm both this and the above scenario where my first PC wargames on the Amiga ive got a soft spot for both.

10. It has to be on there a monster by Haris Global Conflict 1988 its down at 10 simply because i never can find the time to chalenge anyone to play it these days.

PS Europe 44 is undergoing a revamp great scenario must play that one soon
The battle of Medjerda is almost forgotten,but was fought against highly disciplined German troops and blasted a route straight to Tunis it was a perfect infiltration battle and should be remembered as the best fought British battle of the war.

Does this mean there is a DNO scenario updated for the current version of TOAW III?

Not so you'd notice. Sorry.

Danial McBride ( the designer) has left us, I'm afraid, therefor there aren't many of his scenarios that have been upgraded.

Sux!

Kurt, I hope you mean he left the TOAW community and not something more sinister.[&:]

That's really too bad. Daniel was arguably the most talented scenario designer for this game.
Would have been nice to at least have his scenarios updated to 3.4

I agree! It really would have been nice if he'd finished his DnA scenario (at least), but so it goes....

I hesitate to even ask, but would there be any chance Daniel would make his scenarios available again and allow the community to update them ?
