If you accept Diplomacy as a First World War game, it's been very successful over the years.<br/>

Admittedly, as a simulation it's rather crude...

I too can't wait for its release....did you ...

<t> I agree with all your points except the last one, as this would make the game too contentious. You would also have to include the Soviets rather forgotten slave labour camps, and would make the game a target for the PC lobby. ( I mean they still get excited about the flag for God's sake[&:] )<br ...

<r> I've found the WITP Unofficial Strategy Guide to be invaluable in answering many of my queries about the game, and it extensively covers Japanese Prod.<br/>

You can find this on Spookys site at :-<br/>

I'm not sure???[&:] I'd have to take it into my 'fixer-upper' to find out, I am only a footslogger when it comes to computers [:D]

Will drop you a line when this conundrum is solved [:D]

I like the animations. <br/>
<br/>
3D scenes from Aces of the Pacific would be nice, but what we have is good enough for the game.

I'm trying to send a message to Robert that I will settle for less than the ideal. And considering the difficulties in producing a decent AI, the difficulty in finding local opponents, I think PBEM is the method of play that will attract the ...

I just can't wait to see it !![:D]

<t> How on earth are the team going to get round the IGO UGO aspect of air interception within the game??<br/>
<br/>
This is the one aspect ( apart from the AI ) I would think would give the Matrix Development Team [&o][&o] a real headache. I've thought about the problem many times but being a ...

<r> The great advantage of board wargames is as already touched upon, is the social aspect and the interaction between people. It is much more difficult ( though not impossible ) to do this with computer orientated games.<SM sm="00000289.gif">[sm=00000289.gif]</SM><br/>

The great advantage ...

Yep, its a real pain even when Rabaul is at 9, you still have to trawl all the way back to Truk to reload mines......Boo!!

Of course they are. Allied heavies are way too strong. Naval bombardment is too easy. The zero is too dominant over the wildcat, and the corsair is just plain obscene. My point is that it is still a great game and that the developers have ...

Thats how I use them too.

I do use subs 'occasionally' to lay mines offensively, but as you can't 'defend' the minefields properly, I usually stick to defensely mining important bases.

Put me down on the list too[:D]

I seem to remember that after a bit of practice the oil book keeping side of things became manageable but a bit of a drag. Hopefully computerised book keeping will make this chore easier to manage, and that it is made an 'option' in the game setup

<r> I played WiF with most of the add ons from the late 1980's to around 2000 ( when my excellent opponent, and good friend left to work overseas ), so I have'nt really played it since then.<br/>

Since CWiF was announced ( back in 96 I think ) I have been patiently waiting, looking over the ...

<t> Thanks again Mr Frag and Eric.<br/>

I must say how impressed I am by all the 'help' everyone is willing to give to sort out problems.<br/>

<t> Yes I know, we've all been there. Since updating to 1.3 I've had sound card lockup problems. I am trying to get hold of the latest drivers for my soundcard but without too much success. I have a CMedia AC97 Audio Device, and my driver version is ver.5.12.1.0025 . I know there is an updated ...
