One comment, then back to wargaming - Some of us across the pond are Americans as well, and here, at least, we are getting out the vote![8D]

I would love to see that series updated and brought back, especially Volume III (Pacific Carrier Warfare), but done better than the original. Just a thought, but could you imagine fighting out the WITP surface battles with a "jump into the turret" option using something like Great Naval Battles? "

I am playing a lot of UV right now, trying to decide whether I will buy WitP (and also lurking around this board as well). One thing that struck me was that the UV supply and fuel system seem to be straight out of GNB 2. I used to enjoy the long scenario a whole lot, and played it many times from both sides. Obviously UV has solid roots in GNB, considering they share the same daddys. UV has a lot more, but computers are capable of a heck of a lot more than they were in the early 90s when GNB came out. I, too, would have appreciated the opportunity to "jump into the turret."

I really enjoyed the damage-control part of the GNB series. The only thing that bugged me was that several times I was on the verge of saving a badly damaged ship, and then the "fast mode" or whatever it was called would kick in and I couldn't react quickly enough to stop the fires and flooding and would lose her. Wish there had been a way to keep the fast mode from kicking in, but there wasn't any.[:@]
