Bomb Alley was a war in the Med game using the Guadalcanal Campaign engine (Gary's first Pacfic war game) for the Apple II.
I too cast my vote for "War in the Med" a remake of Bomb Alley!

Sorry I made up the list and I don't often use the editor. I'll see if I can't get that corrected.

Everyone had better realize, of course, that instead of getting photos with kisses on it like "Jimmy" did in the screenshot of the Save Menu, we are going to be getting photos of the "finger" from our wives/and or girlfriends... Does the "Quit" menu have a copy of divorce papers on it?

Hi guys,
the new WITP website is online:
http://www.warinthepacific.net
featuring a set of brandnew screenshots.
Have fun ...
This is nice to see. Means that the guys ARE talkin amongst themselves. [:)] I saw that the notation on the site for a TCP/IP interface has been removed. Means less confusion for any new blood to the game thinking they can play online. [8D] Not to mention the fact that I LOVE the screenies. This is gonna be a blast! [8D]

Just noticed, when you are looking at the Allied war plane data, you get a splash screen of japanese aircraft and while you look at the japanese war plane data, you get an allied aircraft splash screen.
Isn't this backwards?

Hello...
If you are the Japanese player, you get the Japanese 'splash' for all aircraft. If you are the Allied player, you get the Allied 'splash' for all aircraft.
Bye...

For those who might be in the know, any additional information on the Bomb Alley remake? I realize there most likely an NDA amongst other things, but I have a great deal of interest in such a game and would be grateful of any further information.

Hello
I've found small mistake on the Japanese map. "KUNASHIRI JIMA" & "ETOROFO
JIMA" are not correct.
"KUNASHIRI TOU" & "ETOROFU TOU" are correct.
These islands are still occupied by Russia...

Not that I have any say in the matter, but I would rather see the time spent on Bomb Alley.
You got my vote on that too!
I probably played bomb alley more than I did PacWar.

All I know is that Joel has expressed publicly that his wish is to do Bomb Alley next. As far as I know, there has not been any work done on it. But then again, I did not know they were working on Gary Grigsby's World at War until it showed up as a thread.

Any similarities between the old computer Bomb Alley and the Avalanche Press wargame of the same name? Apologies if this is an obvious and/or stupid question. [:)] I missed out on the glory days of computer wargaming.

That is pretty freakin' impressive! I actually walked around behind my monitor to see if I could see Africa and Europe.
Looks like all the home-maintainence chores will be on hold for a couple of years when this thing comes out.

I think they should have made Japan it's own zone. Now, if you want to turn some zones over to the AI it has control of some of the factory in Japan since Japan is split into many zones. I'll be worried about giving the AI control of any zone because of that. [:(]
