newbie to TOAW III Guide ?

Post by scout1 »

Long time gamer, but finally broke down and got the Operational Art of War, Matrix style.

Looking for any and all strategy guides for this or former versions to get me up to speed on the subtles of the game. Anyone have a link or two ?

Thanks in advance ...

I find reading strategy guides isn't to my taste. In case anyone else agrees, I suggest reading some good AARs- such as these;

"What did you read at university?"
"War Studies"
"War? Huh. What is it good for?"
"Absolutely nothing."

Hello scout 1, from a thread in the main forum.

An old strategy guide by Steve Knowlton: http://www.wargamer.com/articles/toawtips_page1.asp

Some old docs and forum grabs by temple:

Hi Scott

Glad to see you have this game too. Fancy PBEM at some point (Mk1 and other commitments permitting of course)? I had this in the original version and CoW but was really crap at it, so you should kick my a***...

Good lord, that supply stuff is from some postings I made on some newsgroup or forum many, many years ago. Glad to see I got the credit [:)]

Anyone see a copy of my scenario design guide around the 'net anywhere?
