I dunno. I looked at the top of the forum page and it reads "Matrix GAMES Forums". It's a realistic game, but a game nonetheless.
Me too. But this is a very complex topic, ilovestrategy. It could also be ConSim. Probably depending on what you ate at breakfast.
It seems that to decide what it is, is VERY important to our future and the future of WitP AE, as it will change something FUNDAMENTAL about the way we look at the map
of the Pacific. I don´t know what, but mdiehl wil explain for sure. [;)]

It's a Consim, or claims to be one, period, no matter what anyone else says. The expectation therefore is that it should not generate wildly implausible results when the players choices result in engagements that are broadly analogous to historical ones. That's why people buy Consims, rather than simply play chess or checkers.
ORIGINAL: mdiehl
It claims, by advertising and subject material, to be a Consim. It may not be a well designed one though.
If it was just all about "playing a game" there's whole arenas where one doesn't expect the game engine to be indexed to anything real, because wars of Middle Earth, Klendathu, the Federation, the Kzin, etc. are fictional.
But someone else already addressed your claim. If advert campaign for WitP said "It's only a game, so don't expect much" then people who buy WW2 consims would avoid it like the plague.

Nothing on the product descripton claims AE is a Consim.
As for the box cover, "War in the Pacific" is simply a title, not a claim to be a Consim.
Either show proof of your claims, or stop lying.
War in the Pacific has detail never before achieved in a game of this scale before. .... "If you are in the market for a seriously detailed WWII strategic simulation...

I play WiTP:AE to relax and have fun, there for it is a game, period. No matter what anyone else wants to call it, I'm not running a sim to see if carrier Akagi is sunk at Midway 99 out of 100 times, I'm playing simply to have fun. It's a game. [:)]
I think if everyone would remember why they are playing instead of trying to define what they are playing we'd all be happier. [:)]

Your link goes to WitP, not AE. I specifically asked about AE.

AE was built upon WitP. In fact originally WitP was going to be required - partly because AE was even more detailed than it's predecessor.
You're in a deep hole. Stop digging.
