<t> As a WITP virgin, this thread is of immense value. I plan to cut my teeth on the less involved WPO to understand many of the simpler game mechanics, but can't wait to lead the RN Eastern Fleet to... the bottom of the Indian Ocean!<br/>

Now appoint you my second favourite Finn after ...

In my very humble opinion the best movie about WW2 in the Pacific still remains "Tora Tora Tora"....... If they really could deliver something of that quality.... *sigh* But I doubt it! I still curse the day I went into a movie theater ...

<t> Thanks. Given the awesome amount of effort that you have put in, I thought it might be WIP.<br/>
<br/>
Real life can be a real pain. Nobody, especially me, should forget this is an unpaid labour of love.<br/>
<br/>
Good news about the Allies. Even thought that sounds strange from someone who ...

Just returned from a colonoscopy. Not the procedure I mind, just the two days prep!

Now, if I can just post the pictures...

<t> Ah - that did the trick! My original download only had the DAT & Text files, not the Bitmap images.<br/>
<br/>
Now off for a thorough read of the manual and the tips forum before attempting to make the Pacific free for Kaisers to roam.<br/>

One observation and one multiple-part ...

IMO, it is easier and makes more sense to play such a scenario in War Plan Orange, where a nation or nations remaining neutral makes more sense. <br/>

-Japan is not fighting China<br/>
-Post WW1 conditions could reasonably dissuade ...

In regard to never were Dreadnoughts and Battlecruisers etc,it is not difficult to add them to the game,it's just that personally I prefered a ship to have been actually built,and not just planned before I include them!<br/>

I to got a couple of game freezes early on,these were associated with the ship art for French etc, since I finnished the art work for the French and Italian ships for update 5 I have not seen any other freezes.I have still to complete some ...

<t> Just some early feedback (as requested).<br/>
<br/>
The game freezes whenever I "click" onto a Russian, French or Italian ship and then crashes. I downloaded the final version (#5). Did this include all of the ship art, etc., for these nationalities?<br/>
<br/>
OOB. Given that the Japanese ...

Ah Ha! That worked perfectly! [:D]

Many thanks. I will take a good look through this bunch of goodies, then may post a virgin's AAR.

<t> I would love to try this exciting new (well, 90 years old!) development, but when I access the links, and click on the nice big box stating "Download Now" all that happens is that I am diverted to the FileFront News page. From there I cannot trace any Dreadnoughts at Sea files and the only ...

<t> Thank you to everyone who took the time & effort to respond to my questions.<br/>
<br/>
I agree that one of the entertaining aspects is that the player can make his own decisions and investigate new strategies. As I will be playing against the AI I will have the luxury of testing these out and ...

<t> Very much a new boy here, but 20+ years ago I cut my Pacific teeth on the old Victory Games "Pacific War" board game, which shares many similarities with WITP, although obviously pitched at a human, not microchip, level!<br/>
<br/>
I have two questions regarding the use of KB post-PH.<br ...

<t> I was down at the Bovingdon tank museum a few months ago on a behind the scenes trip, and the curator gave us his views on the T-34 - or, rather, the German view...<br/>
<br/>
One of the first T-34s captured was being examined by a group of military & industrial experts. They laughed at the ...

<t> I hope you have read Turtledove's World War (?) where aliens land in late 1941 and really cannot understand what the **** is going on. That is really off the wall and I actually had some sympathy for the lizards in trying to understand Nazism, Stalin's Russia and this very strange concept called ...

<r> Remember, this is an alternative history, and is light in detail - the war is over in 200 pages - Second Jutland (including foreplay) only takes up 23 pages including "eye-witness" statements and is a virtual re-run of First Jutland, even down to the naming of the two opposing Fast Battleship ...

<r> Has anyone read "Moment of Destiny: One Day in Oran" - it is an alternative history by Roger Branfill-Cook. It is not a large book, and is not a novel a la Harry Turtledove.<br/>

To set the scene, RN Admiral Somerville & Force H do not attack the French fleet at Mers-el-Kebir in July ...

<t> If you want to use the Imperial German Navy's ships, then why not have perfidious Albion seize the lot at Scapa Flow before they were scuttled historically in 1919? Based on Avalanche Press's "Reichsmarine" the Royal Navy ends up with new squadrons of Konig-class battleships and those ...
