My monitor is currently at the repair shop so I had to blow the dust off my old 800x600 monitor. At least I can still get my regular fix and play UV...... 

Here's a question:  aren't the smaller scenarios in WitP kind of like playing UV but with WitP's level of detail?  What's the difference?

Covering the South Pacific i'd say UV is more detailed than WitP. UV has a smaller map scale and that gives the game a more tactical feel than if you play a comparable scenario in WitP. The games play quite a bit different and have a very different feel I think based upon map scale alone.

I myself prefer UV to WitP because of this and because in UV I can do a turn...5-10 minutes in detail. In WitP..[X(]..forget it.

The only way for me to attempt WitP play by email is 3 day turn cycle. This way the game moves along faster and you could have the war almost wrapped up in a year doing 3 day turns (real time).

Otherwise the game comes close to being unplayable. (for me)

Most of the guys on the WitP forum swear by 1 day turns and that's all they'll play but I really wonder how many games will actually get finished on one day turn cycles in PBEM?

I like WitP and I'm currently in a 3 day turn cycle PBEM game but UV is still my favorite.

What can I say? UV is just a lot funner. [:)]
