I'm going to have to re-install it now just to see the Pacific War 1941 - 1945 scenario!  O0
Great news on version IV!

...also glad to see that Matrixgames is finally hearing the call for scaleable fonts!

The Operational Art of War IV will fully support modern computer hardware and operating systems.  This will make it more user-friendly and able to scale to higher resolutions, especially in terms of font and button size.

Absolutely excellent news, both on the update patch and the new version. TOAW III has never not been installed on my gaming computers since it was released - and it replaced the earlier versions of TOAW. One of the things I really appreciate about Matrix is their commitment to publishing and keeping alive classics like this and Tiller's Campaign Series.

Please post impressions of the Pacific scenario.  That caught my attention as well.

For people not familiar with TOAW III, it has a very useful feature for testing out ideas- cpu vs cpu. It is one of the best wargames out there IMO. I spent less hrs with it than i like. It has serious replay value.
