poor.

:(

Any diagnosis yet, Nik?

no conclusive diagnosis. GI doc is now saying it's stress induced. There's a distant poss. of stomach cancer but its a low probability.

Best of luck Nik - take care!

Not really - I'm supposed to teach in general military theory and it's appliance on tactics and operations (using examples from military history).

However, as a side project, I'm also supposed to try out new games to see if we can use them in our lessons, as well as to design scenarios for "The Operational Art of War" which we use as gaming engine during some of our exercises ... [:D]


Hey Grollub, when were you in Kosovo? I was there 2004-2005.

You were there earlier than me then. I was there from july 2006 to february 2007.

You were at MNB(E)? Bondsteel?

Yup, sure was. I downloaded WitP at the mob station in Jul 09 and spent the year learning it. The only downfall was I didn't have access to this website. I had to learn everything on my own. Upside was that I got to spend about 4+ hours a day for a year to learn it. [:D]

will post this here also

ok so i know t will answer this. i expected to see withdraw dates for all my dutch units and most of my pi units. i see some commands i can't change for us air units and some nz air units around fiji with withdraw dates but where are the dutch units with withdraw dates am i not looking in the right spot?[&:] 

No withdraw dates. They are static restricted, which means they can never become unrestricted, and can't be Sir Robin'ed out of there. Because of that, there's no need for withdrawal dates.

[:)] I did almost the same thing. Bought the game in 2005, but found the learning curve somewhat steep after playing Gary Grigsby's old PacWar. Then, when I went to Kosovo, I bought me a new laptop and installed WiTP on it. Spent most of my evenings down there devising new ways to maul the AI [:)]

May we assume that roughly 3,5 hrs of those 4+ hours a day was spent figuring out japanese production? [;)]

Heh, yeah. I made an overwelming number of spreadsheets. I eventually tailored it back when I got back to the real world. [:D]
