Tutorial

Post by Richard III »


I owned TOAOW long ago and just bought this version of IMHO the best operational level war game around. The improvements seem to be massive from Norm`s original version.

I`m very rusty and wonder if there`s a tutorial included ( didn`t see it in the scenario lists ) otherwise can you recommend a simple scenario to learn the system with the new features ?

I am printing the Manual but just ran out of color ink on Pg. 55... I guess I used it all up printing out Bob Cross`s AAR of his Normandy `44 scenario playthrough...[:D] which I will use as a tutorial when I get up to speed again.

Thanks

Yep, when you are choosing a new game hit the "HQ" button and choose the Tutorials folder. Then select the tutorial you want to play and press the Documentation button.

Found them.

Been scanning the manual while printing out but don`t see a list of the hotkeys, including those added by the patches/update ??

Did Ralph fix the local reserve hot key? Last time I looked it was not working.

Best wishes,

I love the smell of TOAW in the morning...

Hello GFeros, the documentation files for scenarios are mostly in Microsoft Word .DOC format. You must have Word installed to read them (or some alternative text editor that recognizes Word .DOC format). Sometimes, documentation files are made as .PDF documents (requires Adobe Acrobat Reader or some other application that can open .PDF documents).

You can go to Microsoft's site and download Word Viewer (plus the compatibility pack for 2007), this will let you view .doc files.
