Your link goes to WitP, not AE. I specifically asked about AE.
Try to focus on the correct game, okay?War in the Pacific: Admiral's Edition brings you the most realistic and immersive WWII Pacific Theater wargame ever!
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.
Perhaps you and mdiehl should actually read the product page for AE. It is described as a game 5 different time, nowhere is it called a Consim. On the same page, WitP is also called a game, not a Consim.
Your only quote about AE is that it is in, in fact a game?
The only ones with their heads in a hole, afraid to admit the truth, are you and mdiehl.
What we have here is a failure to communicate. Lets go back to the basics.
A wargame is a strategy game that deals with military operations of various types, real or fictional. Wargaming is the hobby dedicated to the play of such games, which can also be called conflict simulations, or consims for short. When used professionally to study warfare, it is generally known as a military exercise or war game. Note that hobby wargamers have traditionally run the two words together, but the military has generally kept them separate; it is not a hard and fast rule, however. Although there may be disagreements as to whether a particular game qualifies as a wargame or not, a general consensus exists that all such games must explore and illuminate or simulate some feature or aspect of human behaviour directly bearing on the conduct of war, even if the game subject itself does not concern organized violent conflict or warfare.[1] The business wargames exists too, but in general they are only role playing games based on market situations.
Based on the award winning War in the Pacific from 2 by 3 Games and Matrix Games, the standalone expansion, Gary Grigsby’s War in the Pacific - Admiral’s Edition, adds significant improvements and changes to the original title to enhance game play, improve realism, and increase historical accuracy. With dozens of new features, new art, and engine improvements, War in the Pacific - Admiral's Edition is the most realistic and engrossing WWII Pacific theatre game available. The immense scale is 40 miles per hex with losses covering individual vehicles, aircraft, guns and squads. Since half the planet Earth is covered by the titanic Pacific struggle, the game is massive in scope, covering thousands of ships tens of thousands of aircraft.
WitP:AE is more than just a game.
