Hmmm, I frequent here every so often to see the progress.
1) Welcome to the TOAW IV forum dude. Make yourself at home. Take your shoes off, get comfortable.
2) This place is really friendly and it's got lots of helpful players who would be more than glad to answer your questions etc.
3) I'm going to have to put together a list of the places a person can go to get scenarios because there's probably close to
a thousand of them by now. You can make your own you see, and a lot of really talented players have crafted some really good ones. You'll see.

If I live long enough IV would be my first purchase of this game.
4) Better late than never.
5) Don't be put off by the DOS-like graphics, the simulation under the hood is one of the best.
6) And the AI is somewhat decent for a change. I've grown to like it a lot.
7) I took a year's hiatus from TOAW to play WITE a few years ago but I got bored with WITE and I'm back to TOAW now and really missed it.

My comment on the recent reflections on life here in this thread: Its almost as good as me going on a spiritual retreat. And don't have to pay room and board.
8) The Forum is kind of sparse now but after TOAW IV is released traffic will pick up a lot.
9) I expect to do some AAR's myself, some to demonstrate the new Naval rules, and I want to do a game against the AI to get an idea how formidable it is now.
10) There's lots of players who have gotten in on the ground floor with TOAW and they say that IV is the best yet. I believe it. I think maybe you'll like it too.
Well, let's see here:
1) Yes, do. If you're waiting on IV you might as well, cos it could be a mighty long wait.
2) Had more than has. Most players have moved on, either sideways or in some cases upwards.
3) Yes, most made in the 'Golden Age' of TOAW, many unplayable now due to changing game mechanics. A lot of the best talent has gone, along with the players.
4) Too true, how late is up in the air, never remains a possibility.
5) I wouldn't call map/counters DOS-like, though the menus may be.
6) The AI even with later buffing still isn't very good- any reasonable player should be able to run rings around it, but you could say that for a lot of games.
7) Command Ops is maybe worth a shot. Try WiTP?
8) No s^!t. Traffic picking up? Sure, and when will that release be? I can hear all those wheelchairs revving up right now...
9) Great. New Naval Rules? Where? When will these AARs appear?
10) Who's played TOAW IV yet?
In sum, I appreciate the sentiments, but I think it's really unfair to hold out hope to potential new players when there's ABSOLUTELY NO TIME LINE FOR A RELEASE OF TOAW IV IF AT ALL.
