TAO is The Ardennes Offinsive (version 2 I think). It does not run on Win XP. TAO (3?) comes on the Korsun disk, so you are actually getting a second battle.

I saw TAO 1 on a demo disk years ago, bought the game and loved it. It was saddenning to read on their web page that they were discontinuing the series. I bought Korsun Pocket based on magazine reviews and was most pleasantly surprised to see that it used an upgraded TAO engine, and actually contained a new version of that game! It is great to see that someone saw the greatness of that game and revived it.

The only thing I don't like about it is the lack of a map zoom feature (which TAO1-2 has), but this is being addressed in the patch. I just wish it would zoom the entire battle map instead of the magnifying glass thingy they are going to implement. Full map zoom must be a very difficult programming problem to solve, or I am sure the developers would have included it. I would like to ask the developers if a full-map zoom feature is planned, or even possible.
