TOAW III is primarily designed for ground campaigns. I would say that air force and naval units should be included to the extent how much they impact ground battles when building one's own scenarios. I think the most fun part is its powerful scenario editor. Just about everything from maps to unit formations can be built, plus event editor to simulate special and random conditions. I think properly programming the AI is the toughest part, as trying to recreate a realistic military conflict is pretty complicated to start with. This should be a welcome addition to players who are used to traditional hex-grid wargames and would like to have a far more powerful computerized version.
