Info for Newbies

Advanced Tactics is a versatile turn-based strategy system that gives gamers the chance to wage almost any battle in any time period. The initial release focuses on World War II and includes a number of historical scenarios as well as a full editor!

Info for Newbies

Post by Tac2i »

Note: Officers/cards, jeep, cavalry, tank models and the TO&E feature all came after the initial release of ATG in April 2011. These features are not in the game manual.

Info on tank models (v2.20 and up):

Info on Table of Equipment & Organization (TO&E) (v2.21g)

Note: If you don't want to start from scratch, attached to this post is a text file named standard.atgtoe.txt. Just download, remove the .txt extension so that it reads standard.atgtoe and save to ATG's savedgames folder. Use the TO&E Editor to import into your random game. Edit to suit your needs. Works with random games generated with ANewDawn3.
