ivano,
Thank you for your interest, and I hope you find this Forum to helpful to TOAW.

I find the Manual to be helpful. Not perfect, but the first stop for info. Using the <ALT F> function can get you to at least a start. If that does not answer your question, post the quote from the manual that is not clear. Most here are more than happy to help. And the fresh eyes of a newcomer to TOAW can help the grognards. I can see from your number of post you are not a newcomer to gaming!

Cheers,
RAK

I think the manual may be useful to the players that are familiar with the previous versions of the game. But for someone who doesn't know them like me, it's too abstract. At my current level I need some simple answers like: you do A and B happens. I hope this thread may serve others too. I heard comments from the seasoned players that they never read the manual, so for sure they could have missed something. I have experience with wargaming, just not with this game. I also played more complex games like WitE or WitW. They may be even more complex that TOAW, but I think they do a better job in conveying the information to the player. Fun fact, the other day I had the original game's designer commenting on my Facebook post:

Still, I think it's agreat game ( otherwise I wouldn't ask all the questions here ), just a little unwieldy in some aspects.

Is there a way to see the total loses of the enemy forces suffered during the whole scenario?

Total losses are shown on the Inventory Report. Of course, you must have access to the enemy player's turn to see his losses.

Ok, thanks. So I guess if I'm playing against the AI. I won't be able to see the enemy loses summary.

For a minute there I thought you were playing against Arkansas University in Little Rock. Or wherever it is.

When I've seen it now, it thought I was playing against Australia
