I have printed and read the manual.....looked at all the pdf files included....checked the update list

There is nothing about girlfriends in there??? What exactly are they?? Is this some new american weapon to use against the poor Jap Fanboys?

No, I bet they are a variant of the Japanese super weapon, the geisha girl!

[Stavka_lite]

Good grief folks, Just shut up and play. All of those distractions will go away soon enough

[Tankerace]

hahaha

Given the choice of playing WitP or designing and building a time machine to go back in time to the 1940's, my wife is content that I play WitP. What she doesn't understand is that I would rather spend a month doing a scenario design and then maybe play it for three hours before I see things I want to change and start all over again. THAT is what drives her nuts.

No, it seems it is another major bug in the game. Maybe the patch will fix it with a toggle on/off.

Patch v1.150 for WITP:
_ any American division entering an Australian city will see its disruption and fatigue rise sharply. Morale will get at 99. On the other hand, Australians units in the same city will have morale halved.

Maybe that explains the unit-disappears-miracle in the game.

Same for NZ. For those of you who haven't read Bergerud's 'Touched with fire', here's a funny quote from an interview in the book (with a guy from 25th US Division on R&R in NZ):

"Many of New Zealand's servicemen were in Europe. There was a lot of dating between our guys and the local girls. It caused some friction. One night I was at the movies in Auckland and Bambi was playing. There was a part of the film where Bambi's mother is killed and Bambi is saying, 'Where's mother?'. Some New Zealand sailor yelled out: 'Don't worry, kid, she's probably out with some bloody Yank.' People collapsed with laughter." [:D][:D][:D]

Excellent book, btw. Unfortunately my g/f can't understand why I spent so much time playing WitP, PacWar (PBEM dragging on) and reading war stuff - causes some friction, too. [:(]

women just don't understand the importance of saving the world from japanese/allied forces. I had many struggles against my beloved over games, because she find them stupid in general (no matter if it's witp or river raid). what I find stupid about woman bahaviour is a matter of lesser importance. [:'(]

You don't have to start all over again ! If you saved it, you'll just change the things you want to and then you play ( and enjoy) again !

My wife knew what she was getting into even before we were married.
First it was the SSG games for the old Apple Computer. (Rommel in the Desert, Carriers at War, etc.)
Then Kampgruppe on the Amiga,
Then War in the Pacific, and War in Russia on the PC
Then the "Team Fortress Doom" phase I went through with joining clans and such. (what was I thinking)
Then SPWaW
UV
and WITP!
there you have it, 20 years of Computer gaming all on one post, kinda makes it all seem less important looking back on it.

They do not have a girlfriends. they have cats. every sinister guy has a cat sleeping on his knees when he is ploting another devilish plan how to take over the world.

Hi,
my girlfriend last present for my birthday was a BF-109 model kit.
I think it must be love.

[bigmed1204]

my wife despises games of all kinds. i find myself waking up an hour early for work just so i can slip in a few moves on whatever game. honestly i think it's because she's not any good at them and doesn't understand them. well either that or she's actually an alien.....

[RUPD3658]

Girlfriends require time and money therefore Girlfriends = (Money x Time)

As well all know Time = Money
Therefore Girlfriends = Money x Money or (Money)2
So Girlfriends = (Money)2
Since money is the root of all evil then Evil = The square root of Money
Therefore the square root of (Money)2 = Evil
Therefore Girlfriends = Evil!
Especially if they keep you from playing WiTP! [:D]

This is not a problem for me since my wife won't let me have a girlfriend anyway. [:-] Just as well, how could I find time for a wife, WiTP, and a girlfriend?

(This would be a lot clearer if I could use a square root symbol but it is not supported)

[wild_Willie2]

Actually my girlfriend BOUGHT me my coppy of WITP for my birthday.......BEAT THAT
