Perhaps one of the challenging concepts in the game is understanding how time is expended. My aim is to provide a "soldier's five" on getting into the game. It has some clever mechanics that are not the most intuitive. Perhaps in the tradition of boardgames the manual is comprehensive if something of a wall of information to climb over to get a grip on the mechanics of the game. If you get interested the manual is available for download. Formation and Unit Reports being key, Very important to fight the battle by formation and understand the level of cooperation available between them. Rather than recreate the wheel, the following link is useful re the User Interface.
The operational art of war iv reviews mod#
If you have the game I highly recommend getting the "boardgame" look mod - huge improvement IMHO - dated 1 Jan 20. Bit surprising that TOAW IV has not found a home here. I imagine most of us at FGM have experience from the cardboard days of wargaming. Combat is not limited to land with naval battles included in the mix. WW2 tragics will pleased to know that it is well represented with five categories (all WW 2 West Front scenarios not displayed below). TOAW is a wargame engine on which players can design scenarios from just about any time-frame. Being based on “operational” level combat the player does not have to get involved with research, diplomacy, technological development, political personalities, etc that are a feature of many modern games. However, under the bonnet are sophisticated algorithms that calculate battle outcomes, supply, etc. TOAW is based on the classic board games of the past with its familiar unit icons, hex based map and turn based play. TOAW owners would have been happy to see a recent update to the game (13 Dec 19). So I decided to have a look at an older title, TOAW IV. This game is looking good and I believe it will mature into a fine game but is, arguably, going through a public beta phase. My original intention was to write a review on Warplan.
