Where is Nomonhan scenario?

At $40 for the game, even for a small scenario like Leros it works out at no more than $1 an hour. There are easier ways to pay for computer games.

I agree.

Indeed. Now that you put it *that* way, including so many half assed poor scenarios in the final distribution seems like even worse idea than I originally thought [:D] [:D] [:D] (joking, joking!)

Oh, and please don't associate me with this guy [:D] [;)] [&:] [>:]

Think that Matrix was very up front with what they proposed to sell the public. They made it quite clear that it would be COW with certain bug fixes and a few added features. Most of the features were posted on the forum prior to release. As for scenario selection, Matrix explained exactly where the new scenarios were coming from and even published a list prior to release. No one buying the game can say that they were surprised. As stated earlier, if your favorites were not included, it is a perfectly good option to continue playing them with TOAW-COW.

 
As someone considering buying TOAWIII but who does not have COW, this confuses me.  Wouldn't it then make more sense for me to buy a used copy of COW? If the general consensus is the best scenarios are unavailable for TOAWIII...

The only scenarios not available for TOAW III are those which use modified .exes, and this should hopefully change in the next six months or so. All COW scenarios can be converted to TOAW III merely by opening them in the editor and resaving them.

If you get COW, you won't find much disadvantage to begin with but, because of the advantages of TOAW III, you will find that over time both the PBEM and the scenario design communities moving over to TOAW III.

You can play them straight off, unless they have complex event strings.

I think Ben has a typo here, and it should read NOT, instead of "now".

Yeah, thanks. Fixed this.
