Hi,

IIRC the original TAO didn't come with a scenario editor, so it's more
than likely that no additional scenarios were ever created for it.

That said, SSG did update the game and released it as freeware some
years ago - the latest version I have is 2.4 which now thanks to some
people in here runs fine on Windows XP.

If you want the 2.4 version (without the XP patch which I have yet to
get & test) I can mail it to you - just make sure you have a mailbox
that can handle a 10 MB attachment.

Greetz,

Eddy Sterckx

There was an extra scenario that you were meant to get when you registered
the original TAO, called Dinant Bridgehead, or something similar. Was that
included with the freeware version?

There was at least one by-a-fan editor for the original game that I did some
beta testing on, oh, maybe in 97 or so, but I don't know if that ever got
released, or under what name. My memory of it is that it only allowed
editing of units & OOBs, not the maps. I've no idea if it works on the
freeware game, it might.

Actually I did make TAO2 scenario editor ( I still have it), though nobody used it.
I would say the editor is pretty easy to use.

Hi Mike,

I believe the bonus scenario was called 'Race to the Meuse' but I could be wrong.

Hi Eddy,

I am a new member in this forum and a big fan (or was) of TA0. After upgrading to Windowx XP I missed playing the game. I see that this game (TA02.4) can be running out of a Win XP. Any possibility of letting me having the the patch please.

Thanks and regards.
Jokko

8O I'm interested in the latest version, any patch that will allow TAO to run under XP, and an editor.

I actually bought this game but understand the latest is better. I have an old Windows 98 box on which version 2.0.0 runs. Wonder if there aren't problems. Tutorial says an American unit is ready to be attacked but it's actually several hexes away.

Anyway, I know these posts are old but I hope for a reply.
