Hi

Go to the Matrix main page and click on "development" and then on WITP and it will provide you with all the info you need.

What is the scale of WiTP ? It looks about 1/2 the size of uncommon valor.

Is this 50 miles per hex gonna add more fuel to the Tokyo Express debate?:D

Looks promising, but I miss the old national objective flags like in the original. Hope they make in back into the game instead of the omniprescent White Star.

Hi

Somewhere in the back of my head I think I remember someone saying something about that there will be different flags on the bases for the various countries. As Ian and others have pointed out the map is in no way finished yet. But it is still smashing.

After playing UV, the prospect of WitP was somewhat overwhelming.

That full EAP shot is somehow very comforting. I feel relieved. :p

only one complaint so far

Post by brisd »

1 day turns? You must be kidding! 4 years X 365 days = TOO LONG. The war was finished in less time...

PacWar got it right with weekly turns, a strategic level game. This is an operational level monster game, I think the dreaded IT might have been at last created. I guess it can be set for 7 day turns or continuous play till interrupted for solo play. The temptation to micro-manage every phase will suck up whatever life you had. Hoping for the best but I think it will make PacWar's learning curve look like Checkers by comparison.

Maps are very beautiful, better be you will be spending a lifetime in front of them! :p

The amount of micromanagement is slightly scary.

In addition, it looks like there's the entire CBI theatre. If the ground combat rules don't change, well, that's going to be boring as all hell. Go play TOAW for that.

There are a few parts of the Pacific theatre that I would like to play, but overall, I think we got the fun part in UV. On the one side of the battle for the south pacific, we had the Japanese stomp the allies. On the other side, we had the allies stomp the Japanese.

It will be interesting to see if WiTP will be worth buying.
I love it when a plan comes together.

1 day turns are good.. and hopefully lot's of micromanagment included in that game :)

Well there would be good to but some possibilities for atomatic systems but basicaly: more you can control, better the game is :)

It dosen't mather that will one game take 1 year of your life.. Longer the game is then better it is :)
