I have spent hours on a TOE and map for a hypo for the US invading Iran instead of Iraq, 2003. But I am working in COW. Is buying TOAW-III worth the $50? I understand it has no new database. Anyone?

Any good maps of Iran at 10 km/hex out there?

Yes.

There is no new database, but BioEd can be used to edit the DB, and you don't have to have a different .exe for each scenario that used BioEd.

Wannabe,
TOAW III has a bunch of fixes and enhancements, especially the AI. I think it's worth it, but I'm biased<g>.

While it doesn't have any new equipment databases out of the box, You can easily create and modify equipment and distribute it with the scenario file. I think I've seen some Modern.exe based equipment files floating around which would help with an Iran 2003 scenario, or you can roll your own.
