When was TOAW 2 Released?

Post by Omnius »

I'm trying to figure out when TOAW 2 was released. I'm updating a scenario I did for that version and am wondering how long it's been since I actually created it and last saw it. I actually tried to find the program in the store but it's no longer listed.

Thanks

Which TOAW II?

The Operational Art of War II: Modern Battles 1956–2000 (1999)
The Operational Art of War II: Flashpoint Kosovo (1999)
The Operational Art of War II: Elite Edition (2000)

This might also be considered II:
The Operational Art of War: Century of Warfare (2000)
ne nothi tere te deorsum (don't let the bastards grind you down)

If duct tape doesn't fix it then you are not using enough duct tape.

Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity and I’m not sure about the universe-Einstein.

My box of The Operational Art of War: Century of Warfare says:

This exclusive edition includes:

The Operational Art of War, Vol I
TOAW 1: Battle Pack 1
The Operational Art of War, Vol II
TOAW II: Flashpoint Kosovo Battle Pack
Bonus World War I Era scenarios and database.

Of the seven photos of screenshots on the box five have 3d models and only two have the NATO symbols - yet I bet hardly anyone on this forum plays with 3d models now - let alone plays the Standard Rules as opposed to the Advanced Rules.

Or perhaps you do?

@Curtis Lemay,
Thanks for the excellent concise answer, it was about what I thought. No wonder I had difficulty recognizing my own handiwork after more than 20 years.

@altipueri,
An ignorant answer from a total jerk. No where did you post a date, just snarky BS. I didn't ask about photos but a release date. Had you read the good answers before yours you wouldn't have needed to post this pathetic excuse of an answer. Sorry to disappoint you but I don't play with standard rules or 3D models. At least I created scenarios for the TOAW series, what have you done besides being a do nothing jerk?

@Lobster,
Thanks for the good answer! I think it was the first 1999 edition.

I think you may have anger management issues.
