TALONSOFT GAMES presents:
NORM KOGER's the OPERATIONAL ART of WAR volume I ONE: 1939 39-1955 55 - COMMAND ANY BATTLE OF ANY WAR!
The Operational Art of War--Volume 1: 1939-1955, created by noted designer Norm Koger, is one of the most powerful military simulations yet produced. Essentially two separate systems, it is both a game and a scenario designer. Players have a high level of control over units, from company to corps level, with a wide array of command choices. A unique element of the game is its fluid turn system. Instead of fixed phases for movement and combat, players can resolve attacks at any point in their turn, reacting in a more realistic way to situations as they develop. The game has good graphics, although the main map can be difficult to navigate. Units are represented by "counters" using standard military symbols, which beginners may find confusing. Scenarios included are World War II, Korea, Middle East and hypothetical East-West conflicts.

The Operational Art of War (TOAW) is a series of computer wargames noted for their scope, detail, and flexibility in recreating, at an operational level, the major land battles of the 20th century. A Norm Koger design, Talonsoft published the first of the series in 1998. Matrix games bought the rights to the franchise and created a new game in 2006, TOAW 3, which was the first non-Norm Koger designed game in the series.

Concept
The basic appearance of the game is the traditional view onto a hexagonal grid, although the player may choose a map-like overhead view with military symbols and basic info for the units, or an isometric view that depicts the units with small pictures of soldiers, tanks, etc. Gameplay is turn-based.
The scale of the game is variable, with distances ranging from 2.5km per hex to 50km per hex, and each turn simulating from 1/2 day to 1 week of time, but is fundamentally "operational", focusing on battalion, division, and corps combat. The option of scale is left to a maker of a particular scenario to choose, resulting in a wide range of user-made scenarios; ranging from, for example, a small engagement in northern Germany between several companies to an entire World War II on division scale.
Maximum number of units that can be made in a scenario is 2000 per side; although managing more than 200 can often be complicated. Each unit is assigned unique equipment (types of infantry, tanks, aircraft, etc.) and given its own name, info and color code.
The game also includes "events", which is a series of programmable events which display a message and can have several different causes and effects. The variability of these events makes each scenario - when properly designed - very complex and variable. The maximum number of in-game events is 500 (or 1000 for TOAW III version).
The games include a scenario editor, and much of the content in the follow on games are designs developed by the community of avid players.
The game is being developed further. There is now an equipment editor available.
