Thanks guys! Much appreciated.

<r> I think the title says what i need to ask. I've updated my computer but cannot figure how to get any of the saved games from the old clunker. Having invested several years into the game i dont want to just abandon the campaign and start again. I suspect it would mean walking away from the game ...

<t> My only ongoing game is stock GC vs StepHen. I'm Allies. Late 43 and result is basically decided. Allies counterattacking in both DEI and Burma. Pacific area still a wrestle. His AK/TK losses are horrendous so a total collapse is not far away but he did ambush a couple of my CVs. China largely ...

is this versus the AI? or versus another player?

I've no problem with the AI getting a few 'bonuses' - it needs some help sometimes! it certainly makes some stupid mistakes at other times!!

<t> still playing. life (and occasionally work) get in the way, but still clicking on.<br/>

I noticed another thread about the old PacWar. does anybody remember before PacWar we had 'War in the South Pacific'? the old SSI game? the memories.....<br/>

<r> WitP AE IS an upgrade! <br/>
<br/>
The game started as PacWar (I know, a totally different game, but certainly the 'grandfather' of this effort), then Uncommon Valor, then WitP, then AE...<br/>
<br/>
so I doubt another upgrade will arrive in a hurry. But....if we all hint often enough ...

<t> Ha! and of course it NEVER happened IRL that a pilot/squadron leader would attack anything other than the perfect highest value target in range!! (can you hear the scornful sarcasm???).<br/>
<br/>
Just because the game emulates reality (rather than doing exactly what you wanted it to do) does ...

Hey Bill,

Thanks for the quick answer. Sad, but thanks for setting the record straight. I'll keep enjoying AE until I hear otherwise

Is this just a rumour? or is it true? Is WitP 3 actually in the works already??

"that wont be in a patch, they're saving that for WitP3"?? Really?

Do tell more!!

<t> I just read this from start to end. Sad to hear the news on Des (aka. DivePac88). He was the first guy who made me realize this forum is a community - not just a bunch of gamers. RIP.<br/>
<br/>
Is Andy Mac still around? I've not seen many posts for a while (but then i'm not on the forums ...

<t> hmmmm.... time to lock the thread i think - before Diehl causes someone to blow a gasket! A tad too much outright racism for my liking.<br/>
<br/>
Cheating in AE. VERY sad. now i'm glad i'm only an AI player. i would (seriously!) like to see a list of 'players that cannot be trusted because ...

Classic. i read the post before i read the name of the post-er. Welcome back Knavey.

And RisingSun - if your post was serious, you can relax. No, this did NOT happen in game (only in RL!). So you CAN keep playing!!

<r> so is the game a lost cause? do i need to just start over from scratch?? There are a LOT of hours invested in this already, so i'm not thrilled with the idea of abandoning it, but i obviously cant continue as is! I would need almost the entire Allied merchant fleet just to ship a single division ...

has anyone else experienced this problem? or is it just me??

note to michael...

when your laptop recovers from its personal heatwave could you please check the save here and tell me if it is salvageable?

thanks!

I've been doing some reading, and haven't found obvious answers for this...<br/>

If Pearl Harbor proved that naval aviation was the way to victory in the Pacific, what good were battleships? (either historically or in WITP) It seems ...

<r> here is an example of the supersized base forces. this one from midway with close to 28000 personnel. <br/>
<br/>
The same unit in my non-Beta patched game has just over 2000 personnel.<br/>
<br/>
Is this happening to others? And does anyone have a solution?<br/>

any idea how i can fix the oversize support squads? It looks like these guys are bringing their wives, kids, girlfriends, pets, everything....!

it is a 'quiet China' game. no database changes.
