Don't be hurry, Yamamoto sang.

I think there are still many users playing this game, and I has also got two opponents within a month. If I had attempted to find more actively, I would have got more.


Also, I believe that however old-fashioned this game is, they could not completely stop playing this game. I played first this game as a SSI version approximately 15 years ago and have played numerous pacific war games afterward, but this game is still the best among strategic-level pacific war games.

UV is also a good game, but it was designed to focus only on a tactical-level operation. WITP is ostensibly a complete package for the pacific war game mania, but sacrifices play-ability too much for details and requires players to handle all tedious chores; in addition, "one day-one turn" cycle makes it impossible for most users to enjoy a grand campaign long by a PBEM game. Japanese Pacific war games are not a real "war" game, and don't try to reflect even slight level of reality. Sometime, I feel they made the games for honoring pity BB sisters Yamato and Musashi.


I would not be astonished even if there are some users playing this game 10 years afterward. [8|]

Due to other PW games I'm committed to playing, in the past two months I have had to decline a game from a previous opponent, and recently received a request from someone new for a game which I also had to decline.  One was for a game with the new scenario, and I really regret not being able to play that game, particularly if the potential opponent wanted to play Allies.  Both my opponents on the new scenario wanted to play IJ.
 
Yamamoto, perhaps part of the problem in obtaining an opponent is your statements about your skill.  No one can tell how good they are playing against AI.  Beating AI means nothing.  And I think a lot of people know that.
 
I've done fairly well in PBEM in the past, but right now I'm getting beaten up real bad in one of my games.&nbsp; I'm currently preparing airfields in the central US to bomb the Mitsubishi factory, which is expected to be located in Los Angeles. <G>

Unfortunate, but true. I think the only game in this genre that had a worse AI than this was that.. "thing" back in the 90's, it was put out by Three-Sixty just after they got bought and it had Jim Dunnigan's name on it. I mean, *barf*.

Nah, Seattle makes more sense.
