Nac4 Posted March 28, 2002 Share Posted March 28, 2002 Has anybody attempted to combine a proven Operational System like OPART with CMBO resolving at the tactical level? I've been playing around with it lately, having OPART handle supply, interdiction, movement, for operational scale engagements which feed information (Unit Assesments) for resolution in CMBO. Just wondering if anyone's done anything similiar or had any experiences with the theory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Wacky Posted March 28, 2002 Share Posted March 28, 2002 I think there's a crazy Swede around here trying to do the same with his own program. It will be interesting to see how it turns out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sergei Posted March 28, 2002 Share Posted March 28, 2002 The Operational Art of War by Norm Koger. Referred to as TOAW, OAW, OPART, TAOW, even WOTY ("Wargame of the year" edition), COW ("Century of Warfare" edition)... you name it. Somehow it took me about a month to figure out what the "BO" means in the acronym CMBO so often used in this forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been actually looking at it for a campaign I'm planning but abandoned it, because of some problems I'm having at the moment with my copy of TOAW. I think it had potential, if you kept the scale relatively small. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems that this would be necessary in order for the system to work because the resolution in TOAW would be different than the resolution in CM.
