Thanks for the heads up on the book.<br/>

<t> From what I have read this is my understanding of why Japan went to war and thought they could get a quick peace:<br/>
<br/>
Japan wanted China. It thought it had a right to getting part of China because the European colonial powers all had a piece of China. The US did not really get pissed ...

<t> Right now I am playing the Allies. Will not play the Japanese till I get better with the game. <br/>
<br/>
For allied auto-supply I have only enabled it for the backwater (rear area) bases. My rear area bases right now are: Noumea, Espiritu Santo, Efate, Suva, Canton Island, Brisbane, Pear ...

<t> I have read in some books that after Singapore fell ABDA started to fall apart also. The English general in charge wanted to send all British ships/troops/air units back to India. He saw no reason for British troops to hang around any longer. Australia was concerned with Australia. The US had no ...

<r> While looking for info on how to beat the Japanese I came across the following maps:<br/>

Is it worth my time to keep up?

Anything that helps people understand this complicated game is worth it in the long run.

<r> I performed steps 2 and 3 as listed in <B><s>[b]</s>If you have updated to 1.20 and STILL HAVE SOUND ISSUES<e>[/b]</e></B>. My sound driver is dated 2003 which is the lastest for the Turtle Beach Santa Cruz found on their site. I also started a new game after patching to 1.21. I no longer have ...

Your lucky.

I lost the Oklahoma, along with a PT boat. Have about 4 or 5 ships with system damage greater then 50% (a couple of BBs in that group). Have about the same number of ships with damage less then 50%. Sent those to San Fran.

<t> Not sure if this one has been reported or not:<br/>
<br/>
1. Turn one in scenario 015<br/>
2. Selected DD Perkins located in San Francisco. This ship is part of auto convoy system<br/>
3. Selected to upgrade this ship (ship is still part of auto convoy system)<br/>
4. Computer rebooted<br ...

I sent a single unescorted ML to lay some mines around Siapan and Guam in scenario #6. I thought I had enough time to get him in and out before the Americans came. However, this single ML was attacked by nearly half of the Carrier planes available to ...

So, to repeat the question: Is it worth it?

For a person like myself who has been playing these types of games (board and computer) since about 1970 it sure has heck is.

When people call me a nerd I tell em "Yeah, I'm a nerd who rides a harley and loves shooting guns. In fact I own 11 weapons. You got a problem with nerds?". [:D]

Got a chuckle seeing the Starshatter box art when clicked more information for WitP. Also have screenshots of Highway to the Reich.

I think I will wait for the official anouncement.

I'll wait till all you crazy people are done.

<t> In some ways I hate you guys. My wife wants me to work in the yard when I go on vacation next week and you have WitP and Starshatter coming out at the same time. And now I read about this.<br/>
<br/>
Now I need to figure out ways to avoid yardwork and not get killed for playing computer games ...

Voting is a waste of time. Sad that all those vets died or suffered for nada. Worse for you Americans with only two parties...what a joke the concept of democracy has become.

Had Germany and Japan coordinated their military campaigns . . . Japan attacking Russia in 1941, for example, instead of the US, and then coordinating a campaign to threaten British possessions from Southeast Asia to the Middle East ...
