I had never played those previous versions and I think this game aims to address TOAW3 players and not expand for new players.īack in Finland element of the Finnish Army are preparing an offensive. TOAWIV has been available on Matrix for awhile and has a really robust community from previous versions. However it’s not really real time like Command Ops, Combat Mission or CMANO. That distinction separates the game from true turn based titles like Panzer Campaigns or War in the West.

It’s a fairly lofty goal that aims for what CMANO does in the air-sea theater but also adding land units. Upon it you can layer any conflict from pre-ww1 all the way up today. TOAWIV is a hex-and-counter multi-theater wargaming simulation base. But this little thorn… I decide to start there. To my east is a string of units from the Gulf of Finland all the way to the arctic ocean. The scenario was for Finland to recapture what was lost during the Winter War. A narrow peninsula was held by Russian troops threatening to drive on Helsinki.

My argument still stands, but I really want to like this game. Am returning after reading some 3rd party guides that seem to be more helpful.
