Status: offline 		Three ways to see a Units' Range:
1. The Range for Ranged Units [that is, units that have a range, lol] can be seen in the screen shot below. This displays either when a unit is selected, or when a unit is moused over.

2. With a unit selected, hit 'U' to open the unit info, If the unit has a Range, you will see it there under the Strengths column on the right.

3. Select a Ranged Unit and then hover over enemy units, if the cursor turns into a 'Bombard' icon, then the target is within range.


New UI on left, Classic UI on right.

If you want to switch between scenario folders (for example, WWI or WWII), don't use the Default Directory button [highlighted in Red below]. Click directly on the Folder that you want to change to [Select Folder, eh?]. If you want TOAW to always open to a folder other than Tutorials, then use the Default Directory button.

If you set the unit to limited attack, it won't advance. With a full attack, the unit will advance, if it didn't break off the attack earlier.

Status: offline 		I played the original version of this game back in the day. I bought version III some time ago but have not played it very much.

Does this version IV include a random battle generator? That's a feature I always hoped would be included. Building scenarios manually is very tedious.
