<t> The question is not Why is this game so expensive as is IS it worth the price? Well, those of you who bit and have been playing a month now, is it that much better than WITP? Are you happy customers? I have owned WITP for five years and never played a full campaign game, just takes too frigging ...

<t> The price seems steep for an expansion, hopefully it will be reduced over time.&nbsp; I bought WITP the day it was released and have gotten my moneys worth but I rarely play it, too much time investment (an operational game covering the Pacific war will take as long as the original if done o...

Nice to hear it will be weekly turns - actually playable even in less time than the war, unlike WITP.

Great to hear this is finally coming out.&nbsp; I played many a game of WIR (and many other eastern front boards before it).&nbsp; Kind of sorry to hear of the demise of the West/Italian and home fronts but sounds like a monster worse than WITP so I doubt it would be missed.

<t> I congratulate&nbsp; PzB and his opponents on the classic WITP AAR!&nbsp; I've never read the whole thing as I took some time off of WITP like many have before me.&nbsp; It is amazing that it took longer to play this out than in real life but that is the nature of the beast and of PB...

<t> I've just completed reading your entire AAR and I am very, very impressed!  Your tactical and strategic skills are matched by your superior writing and graphics.  I've learned much by studying the economic and production charts too.  Thanks very much for a superb effort, I most highly recommend ...

Subscribed!&nbsp; After a few years of WITP vacation, I am back to reading the forums and playing the game.&nbsp; I prefer to play the Japanese so this thread is a wealth of strategy information.&nbsp; Well done so far! [&o]

Great to see the progress on this update to a great game.&nbsp; Thanks for sharing the 'chrome' esp. and for you all your long hard work on this project.&nbsp; [&o]

<t> Well I am still in July 1861 with the Union vs. CSA computer. I haven't read the manual thoroughly (like most wargamers) but watched all the tutorials, the 1st turn one was the MOST helpful by far. Took me awhile to get the hang of attaching and detaching units, and I have more than once left cl...

<t> As an owner of ALL of GG's computer wargames of the eastern front WW2 this is the best news I've heard in many, many years. I am a bit wary of the 10 miles per hex but the 5 day turns are appropriate for a theater of this scale (still disappointed that WITP was daily turns, just too damn long IM...

Congrats and well done to the brave crew of Hiryu! Great story as always.

<r> I am curious about the PO mess on this ship.  I know that CPO's in the IJN nowdays have there own mess separate from the lower ranks (in the RN and USN tradition).  It would seem very unusual to me third class PO's would be in the same mess as CPO's.  There is less distinction between seaman and...

Ok, thanks for that clarification. 70% is surely enough in the stock game. Those were some elite Avenger pilots I guess.

<t> Best wishes to Hiryu, hope she survives to sink EVERY Brit ship left.&nbsp; [:'(]<br/> &nbsp;<br/> The battle results were extremely unlucky, but the CAP should've wasted those Brit bombers.&nbsp; Perhaps not enough CAP?&nbsp; I always put LOTS up when operating so far from a fri...

Thanks very much! It appears the player-generated scenario I played of the entire West Wall in Sept44 is not there, guess I will search for it when I buy TOAW3, my 2nd Matrix game purchase after AACW (got the demo, looks awesome). [:)]

<t> AOR was a great little game, I miss it. I am an owner of TOAW2, I wonder where I could find a LIST of ALL the scenarios released with the initial version of TOAW3???? There was one scenario I loved playing against the AI as the Germans, a defense of the West Wall from about Sept. 44, wonder if i...
