The Tutorial doc doesn't seem to line up with the Korea Tutorial. Probably a case of the doc being outdated. Just thought I'd mention it since TOAW is not a super easy to get into and any tutorials will really help new players.

The screenshots in the Document came from the Tutorial scenario. Give us an example of what you're seeing.

Sure, for example...

1. Press the button on the left labeled �Korea 50-51� to select the Korea scenario - Says Tutorial, there is no Korea 50-51 by default.
2. The Unit Panel also shows a single representational 3D icon of the top unit in the location and features a background display depicting the terrain in the location. - I believe this is in the old version.
3. The �Plan an Attack� Display section. The image shows 2 Support units but in the game they are not there.

There are probably more... Someone should probably try the Tutorial for themselves and see what's up.

Well, alright, that slipped through.

?? Not in the document I have. Mine shows the new Unit Panel.

They are in mine. They have to be - I couldn't have generated the screenshot otherwise. This was the attack on 5,38?

@AstroCat: Set the air units to "Combat Support" then they will show up in the support box.(Should be mentioned in the tutorial.)

And more errors in the Tutorial: Page references to manual are wrong and Windows95 is history ;)
"As with most Windows95� games, TOAW gives you several.."

Also some of references to �Single group attack� don't appear when you right click as directed.
