The Operational Art of War (TOAW) is a series of reckoner 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 offset 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 showtime non-Norm Koger designed game in the series.

Concept [edit]

The basic advent 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 bones info for the units, or an isometric view that depicts the units with pocket-sized pictures of soldiers, tanks, etc. Gameplay is turn-based.

The calibration of the game is variable, with distances ranging from 2.5 km per hex to 50 km per hex, and each turn simulating from 1/four solar day to 1 week of time, but is fundamentally "operational", focusing on battalion, segmentation, and corps combat. The selection of calibration is left to a maker of a particular scenario to cull, resulting in a broad range of user-fabricated scenarios; ranging from, for case, a small engagement in northern Germany between several companies to an entire Earth War II on division calibration.

The maximum number of units that tin be fabricated in a scenario was 2,000 per side until TOAW Four, although managing more than 200 can often exist complicated. Each unit is assigned unique equipment (types of infantry, tanks, aircraft, etc.) and given its own proper name, info and color code.

The game also includes "events", which is a serial of programmable events which brandish a message and can take 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 one,000 for TOAW III version).

The games include a scenario editor, and much of the content in the follow-up games are designs developed by the community of avid players.
