<t> It has been awhile since I have played a land based wargame(more of a naval guy). Anyhow, back in the day when I was playing Third Reich, I think the general strategy was to get a breakthrough in the front lines move your armor through- surround the enemy and attack from all sides and, also brea...

I am new to the game and trying to figure out the fastest way to get into action as infantry. I think I want to find a mobile spawn site? So do I go from brigade to brigade, looking to see if mobile spawn is available?

<t> Huh? <br/> The ad on Matrix's website the game says the game includes...<br/> <br/> '* One activation key for 30 days of FREE play - a US $19.99 value!'<br/> <br/> Am I missing something, or is this line a little misleading?<br/> <br/> Thanks for your response though.<br/> Barring any additional...

<t> I don't have answers to the question of best bases, but thought I would chime in. THis is my first game and I am playing as U.S.. I had to bypass Wake (it had 180,000 men on it). Went south -towards eniewok (i know i spelled that wrong) took a base and am now in the process of fortifying Guam. I...

<t> Has this happenned to anyone else? I set a supply TF from Mare to Guam (one way-the TF will then use Guam as the home base.)<br/> When I look at the route plotted it does not look to be even close to the most direct way to get to Guam. dipped down to the Gilberts if i recall correctly.)<br/> I h...

thanks for the response.

(although Matrix's add says a 30 trial is included, I will probably follow the thread which seems to refer to a 14 day trial)

<t> OK, this should not be this hard. I downloaded the game and installed it. when I run it I am asked for a username and password. when I start guessing and click on 'free trial and promotions' only one option (30 trial) is appropriate, yet no friend gave the the trial subsription.<br/> <br/> <br/>...

man, there are a lot of good choices here I agree with...
carriers at war
action stations
for the modern era I'd say
SPI's 'the Next War' and a small
Simulations Canada game called 'Seapower and the State'

<t> Thanks for your response. <br/> <br/> Yes, this is the game to which I was referring. ‘The Next War’, like ‘War in the Pacific’ was one of those monster board wargames that I could not resist purchasing. However, because of the time demands of the game, I never got into either game as much as I ...

This has probably been asked before, but has there ever been any talk of redoing the board wargame called 'The Next War' for the PC?

thanks for the fast feedback

I have been running the latest (1.2) version of the game for about a wek or so. all of a sudden when I try to run the game I get 'Fatal Error 771'. I don't believe I have changed the parameters of my machine. I will try reloading the game but wondered if you had any ideas.

<t> Have started my very first game of WPO after failing to master WITP. (I am sure I will come back to it though). I am too impatient to take one of the smaller scenarios and jumped right in to the 1922 game as the U.S. It is march of ‘23’ and I have not taken anything yet. I had a division at Midw...

where is the unzipped file supposed to go?

I am working through the tutorial and have saved the game up to the completion of the Japanese turn. I found that when I created an american carrier task and clicked on a CV in order to check an air group the program threw me out of the game and back to the opening screen.

<t> I have the same problem with War in the Pacific. The download did not work so I figured I would simply install the CD when it came. I enter the serial number when it says to do so and the serial ID comes back as invalid!!<br/> <br/> this is simply unacceptable. particularly given what they are c...
