Thinking About Buying This Game

[Curtis Lemay]

ORIGINAL: jjdenver

Hey guys, I'm interested in finding some good scenarios to play vs PO without actually playing them for 20 hours only to realize the PO can't hold its own.

I'm not really interested in any total "monster" scenarios like FITE with thousands (I didn't count but seems like thousands) of units on each side. I prefer scenarios more like 1941 - 1945 Great War in the East which is at a scale that reduces the number of units on the east front to something manageable.

Some theaters I'm interested in:

East Front
West Front 44
France 40
Vietnam/Afghanistan

Any suggestions for scenario? And side if I need to pick only 1 side in that scenario.

Thanks!

Of course, if you're a veteran, no scenario's PO will hold its own (unless it's ridiculusly unbalanced).

But try the Allied side in my "Germany 1945 (Last Stand)". It's not too large and the German PO has a lot of resilience. You probably should review the article on it first, though (see the Articles sticky thread).

Ah I'm not that good at the game. I don't know the mechanics very well. I'm very experienced with strategy games (board and pc) but haven't studied TOAW enough to understand all of the mechanics at all so I just putter around doing what seems like a good strategy without implementing the tactics very well I'm afraid - it's probably better that way as the PO can give me a better challenge.

This is a really good game that has stood the test of time. It is a very flexible game in that there are loads of scenarios for it, so replayability is excellent. I've had TOAW from it's earliest releases and will say that Ralph Trickey and TOAD have done an outstanding job of bringing it up to date. Whilst there are a few things I'd like to see done further with it, it remains an excellent buy and a lot of fun.
