Yeah Bo...it seems you were part of the process here to develop the game, then what?

I only come to this site occasionally. I play WIF though, every chance I get.
Having a computer version of the best - and most challenging - war game I ever played continues to be a blessing to me.
With the wonderful original board game (which I still own for sentimental reasons I suppose!) I only had a chance to set it up and play once. It was in my attic and because there was room there to leave it set up, but because it was too hot in the summer and too cold in the winter I rarely got to play!
Now it is on my hard drive, and not only can I play whenever I want I can also replay from ma y different points in the game if I decide to!
Just wanted to once again say thanks to all who made this possible. It is by far the best game purchase I have ever made.
Merry Christmas!

I agree with you completely! I have spent hundreds of hours playing since MWiF came out and I'm enjoying every minute of it.

First of all Jagd I cannot ever remember being discourteous to you in any way in the past forums, I always answered your questions and others the best I could when questions arose, I would appreciate the same from you now.

Your last 2 posts are shall I say a little hazy if not downright strange coming from a knowledgeable poster. I have not been on the forums for reasons like this, I was just agreeing with jzardos post thats all nothing more, if you could be a little more specific if that is possible I will answer the best I can any misconceptions you have of me and the other testers, Steve, Matrix, and MWIF.

Please try not to post in code [&:]

Thank you

Well, I am not sad any longer. This, in part, because I just lost HMS Warspite to warspite1.

ORM, how are you? Miss our conversations, you probably scuttled the HMS Warspite as I cannot imagine in my wildest dreams that you could ever have lost it to Warspite [:D] Unless you were just trying to be nice which is your true nature [;)]

The dastardly Italians, played by warspite1, kicked the RN around and sunk HMS Warspite in our AAR game. I was pretty sure I would have the day and sink the Italian fleet but in this game it is hard to be sure of anything at all. Hence, the fun removes my sadness.

I'll try to write an email tomorrow.

Bo, you got me completely wrong...it was just a point of information...It seems you were on the inside on this project and might have some interesting stories to tell.[&o]

You were never discourteous to me, and I am sorry if my post made no sense. It was in no way meant to attack or minimalize your work on this project. Sorry about post #201...it was clumsy and poorly written...maybe I was tired?[>:]

I hope you accept my apology.

If I was playing Warspite1 in MWiF and I was playing the CW, I would station the HMS Warspite in Colombo. Then when at war with the Japs, I would send it off the coast of Ceylon in the zero box by itself.

Or better yet, send HMS Warspite into the Baltic on turn one and keep it there[:D]

Oh, look! I made it to the top of page 8...every time Warspite1 comes to this page he has to see this post[:D]

No apology needed Jagd, it just did not sound like you, I have a few stories to tell about the workings behind the scenes, but it would only aggravate even more, posters like Crussdaddy and others, so why bother.

But if the gentlemen above are enjoying the game as much as they say, who am I to say, "how can that be"[:(]

Bo!
Happy Holiday's
The despairing drunk dwarves of MWiF caverns. Still dis-Cuss and hope for a game as advertised on 7 Nov 2013
At least there are other games to play and occupy entertainment time. While sharing a beer or 2 with friends.

Happy holidays to you Warhunter.

Glad to see your still around Warhunter, those caverns look kind of dark and damp but what do I know, I happen to like the warrior 5th from the left, but I might have a head of hair that long waiting to see the AI emerge from these caverns.

November 7th 2013 is my "day in infamy", no sense going into that though right!

I have been keeping an eye on a new game in production called Tigers in the Hunt by Peter Fisla, it is a tacticle game and I have no tacticle games on my shelves of games I had to have but play no more [:(]

Bo, Go check out the AAR warspite1, is doing over in the "BARBAROSSA Decisive Campaigns" forum.
The game has an AI and is very unique for a war-game. Highly Recommend you check it out.
Might be just what you need in a game. [:D]

I'm sorry but I feel I must post something here ...

For me it's sleepy, sleepy, sleepy (instead of sad, sad, sad) ... because this game is so much fun that I don't want to stop playing it and this is costing me sleep!

This is the best strategic, corps level game on WW-2 period! Is it perfect ... no. Is it playable ... yes. Is it enjoyable ... yes. Is it addictive ... yes.

Sorry for my rant ... I need sleep. Off to bed ...

Think not paul, the day that I can put the MWIF disk into my computer and dial up you or anyone else and play net play as it is meant to be, or battle an AI, that is the day I will be satisfied, not one minute before that.[;)] And if it is not to be then so be it[:(] Actually paul I cannot find it[:(]

rkr you are sleep deprived from that game, please get some rest because you will need your strength when Steve solves the net play and the AI[;)]
