The Operational Art of War IV

[acctingman]

I'm unfamiliar with this game (and the ones before) but I was wondering if your only option are the 2d icons used for units? Is there a 3d option?

Thanks

You're better off playing with the 2D icons. At least in TOAW III.

So, it is in III, but will it be in IV?

That (the screenie) looks like JTCS

The 3D graphics in TOAW III are about on par with JTCS.

They seem to be the same in fact, from Talonsoft days that is. Both Campaign Series and TOAW were originally developed by them.

JTCS, the Matrix bundle, included some improvements on 3D side, from early Talonsoft days, like more early/mid/late war variants, as well as winter versions, for various units.

I've always played TOAW as a hex and counters game, fits the scale perfectly imho.

Of course, nowadays I play CS as hex and counters, as the new zoom views became available wit Middle East.

But how many squillion dollars will it be?  ???
I'd like to get back into TOAW but my gaming budget is taking a beating.....

+1  I hope they don't price it like the WitE/W/P games.

Always fun to guess...I'll say between $29 and $39....either way I have a 40 percent off coupon that will make it easier :)

That's not eye candy. It's eye cancer.
