About the author

Ralph Trickey maintains TOAW III
I set this Blog up for fun, and for my own edication! Nothing is guaranteed, it's for my own use primarily, so even if I say that something may happen with the next release, please understand that it may not. I plan to post random thoughts and other things like that at random times here. I don't have a specific plan for what will be here.

OK, I took some more time, and this seems more likely to be valid. This is turn 4. I haven't 100% validated it yet, but it seems a lot less likely to be cheating. Either me or someone else needs to try the communist side and see if they can duplicate it.

I fixed a couple of old problems and a couple of new ones caused by the new pathfinding. He's also got a better understanding of the difference between armor and infantry and how it affects relative strengths instead of just looking at the numbers on the counters. He also understands how artillery works better.

I've played the Commie side several times. I've gotten as far as Taegu, before the UN begins landing US troops. Once Pusan becomes based by GI's,
its the begining of the great retreat. Their airpower, along with Arty, will bring down a rain of doom.

I'd like to see what Elmer is capable of now - I bet it would be a far capable foe.

Elmer's better that he was, I think. At a technical level, he should be. I think I'm going to need to spend some time playing and figure out how to play better before i can improve the tactical play any more. I need a break anyway.

Not to dictate, but how about letting the test crew play with it (plus yourself), and, let the chips fall.

From that, you can collect comments and get a feel for the update, then tweak where needed.

From what you say, you've done yeoman's work so far. Let it mature a bit, then add the polish.

Enjoy the interlude.

Hi,

just found it.

No - he isn't cheating!
Several years ago I've studied exactly this scenario over weeks again and again. If the ROK move his indep. tanks to eastern side (as he did) and use his comandos well enough, it is possible, to achive this. It's literally counting for every hex. It's a bit risky (read: 'very') , but once or twice I could capture Pusan in the 4th (?) round.
Much improvement, he isn't split up the commandos, too.
But
(1) has he hold some eng. back to repair brombed bridges around P'y?
(2) to be fair fpr him at least Wonsan need badly some coastel defense...

Great work by the way!
You saved my week.
Just had a look at the very ridicolus HOFIIII, pfff

Greetings

Wulf
