<r> Hello everyone....this thread might not be what you think it is!<br/>
<br/>
Yes, we pretty much all know about the issues with China. I think I have fairly well balanced it in my current homebrew edition by taking out a Japanese division and adding every Chinese Army possible right at the ...

That map is great Rich...thanks for that! I use it all the time.

Regards,

Jeff

Thanks Rich...glad you like it! You did a great job putting the map together, thanks for that! I don't recall seeing a PacWar map look so vibrant, and the England and Eastern US boxes are a ...

<t> Hello everyone....I seem to remember some of this from a long time ago, but I have noticed in testing 3.2.15 that on occasion, fighters that have no "capacity" are making bombing runs on targets, but of course have no load! <br/>
<br/>
I'm wondering why this is, and I think I've always ...

<r> Hello everyone! This is SUPER thread necromancy, however, I decided to make a map based off of screen shots. Enjoy!<br/>

<r> Hello everyone...I am running AI vs. AI games overnight with 3.2.15. In one game tested, Oil has not been a problem for the Japanese, Resources have. However, I don't see this as a problem, just one way the game plays out. There are a couple things I did notice.<br/>
<br/>
- The Japanese have ...

Wow! So if I am hearing this right, one must micromanage the entire Japanese or Allied side when playing this game (WitP...let alone AE)!?! That is A LOT of micro management! <br ...

Well if you have ever played PacWar, you'd know what I was talking about [;)]<br/>
<br/>
Rather than selecting hexes to move to, you select a base (same for ground units). Base to ...

<r> Wow! So if I am hearing this right, one must micromanage the entire Japanese or Allied side when playing this game (WitP...let alone AE)!?! That is A LOT of micro management! <br/>

Sounds cool but perhaps a bit ahistoric? Does the game deal with the internal strife between the Japanese ...

<r> Hello everyone...I've recently gotten back into gaming, and I noticed that a new version of WitP was being released!<br/>
<br/>
I was a grizzled veteran of the now ancient Grigsby's Pacific War, but I have to admit I never got too deep into WitP....<br/>
<br/>
To cut to the chase, in PacWar ...

<t> Hi everyone....OK, I really love the depth of WitP (and the DOS predecessors PacWar, WiR, etc.), but based on some responses, the AI is not so "grand".....if not WitP, then which wargames have the best "AI" or at least the best script writing since AI is typically a misnomer for computer games ...

<t> Hello everyone....I've owned this game pretty much since it came out, but it was just too huge for me to tackle....I played the be-jeezus out of Grigsby's original Pacific War, and I did a little modding of WitP adding a Kikka and G3N, but anyway, how is the AI in this game? I remember reading ...

OK, this thread has strayed from its original question (although the discussion is quite interesting).....(have) any Japanese players have been able to invade the US West Coast, or even Canada during a pbem game? If so, how did it go, and was an AAR posted?

Was there any real-life historical Japanese thought of sabotaging (sic?) the Panama Canal? Did they even think of it? [>:]

Jeff

<t> WOW! So taking out the canal would slow those ships up considerably! That would indeed change things. How long does a journey around Cape Horn take? Also, it would be interesting to see the units available in July 1941.....I would assume that its mostly similar with December 1941....probably ...

Without edits to PW......the Japanese fleet needs all the flak it can get!

Jeff

<r> Concerning the Panama Canal.....could not the WitP editor be used to simulate this?<br/>
<br/>
I seem to remember someone asking if the French-Thai war from 1940 could be simulated and the answer to this question was yes IIRC. I'm assuming one can change the arrival date of ships into the ...

<t> That is quite interesting...the Germans were able to run all over the Russians in the east, but in the west, the Russians could "kick in the teeth" of the Japanese.....it does make sense, but it also may say that the Japanese were ill suited for large protracted land battles on open plains ...

[&:]

whoa nellie!

Whatever happened to the invasion of the US by Japan?

Jeff

<t> Actually, I'm hoping that the lowered effectiveness due to cold will be a neutralizer. This works in a limited way in PacWar as well. Of course, if a defender is well dug in, they have the advantage more than likely. <br/>
<br/>
A question for the designers.....will there be special troops who ...
