Hit the print screen key, then get into a graphics program of some sort and paste.

One uv game?

Actually very cool considering most players have moved on to War in the Pacific like you.

I have 9 uv games in progress and six WitP.

Anyone care to challenge this roster?

I just haven`t managed to get WITP yet...
Then again, I am happy with UV.....

First, it is at a balanced period (not that interested in playing a 1944 scenario as Japan).

Also, the reality is, who will actually play a full PBEM game? It is a 4 year undertaking (assuming a close game, a blowout might finish in 2 years).

I am tempted (and at some point will get it, but even then, for the first year, probably just fooling around vs IA).

UV is playable and at a time period where the fighting is fun.
To quote from Evans/Peattie`s {Kaigun}
"Mistakes in operations and tactics can be corrected, but
political and strategic mistakes live forever". The authors were refering to Japan but the same could be said of the US misadventure in Iraq

I'm absolutely content with Uncommon Valor as well. It's far handier than its progeny - at least in email mode. Despite their common engines, subject matter, and interfaces, uv is simply a much more playable game.

I'm still a UV player and though I recently purchased WiTP I'm thinking I will remain a UV Player for the most part. WiTP is overwhelming and I haven't even opened up one of the big scenarios. Just contenting myself with playing the Allies against the AI in scen 2 (fall of the DEI, Malaya, and Philippines). Even with the relatively small Allied forces and limited geographic scope it's still bigger than UV.
UV is eminently playable. As yet I don't get that sense with WiTP.

i can understand that lolz

WITP is ENORMOUS

as for UV, i LOVE it[:D]

1 of the best games ive ever played in my LONG gaming career

totally worth the trouble it caused at first

it wouldnt run on my computer, no matter wat i did, but my old computer is now 7 YEARS old, so it was just too obsolete

this computer im on is FAR FAR more powerful

for example

the HD on my old one is 20 GB

my NEW computers HD is 250 GB

1/4 of a terrabyte

this computer is far more powerful

ran HALO without any problems and quite blazingly fast[8D]

WITP is a work of art and there is no better simulation.

UV is a better game.

I have them both but just cannot commit to spending the next five years playing one campaign of WITP. The need to micromanage every thing just seems overwhelming to me. Some of the smaller scenarios perhaps when they get some of the few serious bugs fixed. In computer terms 5 years is a hell of a long time, and who knows what the state of computer gaming will be by then.

Already, I am reading on the forum about how so many games are ending as players drop out. Thats not fun.

I am currently engage in an UV PBEM with another French.

I will not begin to play WitP by PBEM or a long campaign vs the AI until they fix all the major bugs still around...[:-]
