RE: back to toaw
Welcome back! I've reactivated you, you're back on the ladder now.
TOAW III is definitely a winner; there's a new beta out now, which will be released soon, but most of us are playing ver. 3.1.0.9, which is the current release version. But there are still a number playing COW. But as with some of the earlier versions, I will find it very hard to go back, now that I've upgraded.
Some fantastic, new scenarios are available, both on the CD, and online. I'm now playing Holland- A Bridge Too Far, by Erik Nygaard; it's a huge map, battalion level, nicely recreates the feel of a desperate attempt to link up with the paras, and uses a custom equipment file, so that artillery ranges, etc, are properly extended to work with the map scale. Custom .eqp files must have the exact name as the scenario, and go into another folder with the same scenario name, in the "Graphics" folder. They then work for the chosen scenario, but don't interfere with your other games using standard equipment.
