RE: How Many of you have dropped "The Bomb?"

Another thing to consider is that every bomb dropped( or every bomb after the first two) shifts the victory conditions one in the Japanese favor. So, after 4 bombs it is impossible for the allies to win, no matter what the score.

RE: WITP II-The Red Line.

<t> This thread proposes the wrong 'solution' to a perceived problem. The "solution" (and I put that in quotes because I LIKE the lines) is to make sure the game is moddable enough so that players can remove the line as simply as changing the color define to make it transparent or, at worse ...

I think that ASW is already toned down too bit. In my game, I have 3 hunter killer groups with 20 DDs or PCs in each. They are supported with 60 floatplanes from AVs and CSs, and nearly 150 land based aircrafts on ASW. I manage to follow USS ...

WitP II Multiplayer-specific Issues Discussion Thread

<t> When Witp I was first proposed it was mentioned that it would have TCP/IP connectability. That got dropped. I would like to see that as an option for WitP II. TCP/IP would allow the game to be designed in a very different way than PBEM. For example, the game could get input from theuser DURING ...
