Also, my time is limited. I want to play whenever I want, whenever I can.
So I also belong to the majority of AI players.

I'm always pleased to new patches, improvements and additional features.

My request, so good the AI is, an AI can never be good enough. [:-]
So please do not forget in your pursuit of perfection to push the AI even further and further! [:)]

Actually approx 130+ people have answered the poll. First I do hope that matrix has sold more WitE than that. Second, given the number of "hits" in many forums it is rather strange to see so few have answered to such simple questions.

Hi Joel,

My preference would be to play vs. the AI, but I actually only play WiTE PBEM because the Axis AI isn't really up to much and I like to play the Soviet side.

Perhaps a survey question "How do you wish you could play WiTE?" would give you a better sense of player's preferences as opposed to practices?

For me, the AI is good enough to play when there are no human players around.
Have my hands tied with two Grand Campaigns versus humans..... and I have a very understanding wife [;)]

Human vs human play takes CONSIDERABLY less time than an AI game. you can get away with 1-2 hours a day 3 times a week and youve lots of time to think about your next turn. waiting for the ai can really kill a day fast. make sure to use fow movement and the human games barrel by.

As a long time lurker I'll come out of the shadows to say that I play the game against the AI exclusively.  For me gaming is a recreation that I don't want to have any obligations to.  I enjoy being able to sit down and play four or five turns then not touch the game for a week, or quit and restart a game without annoying another player or having to schedule my gaming. 

I also don't have the time to really master a single game so playing against the AI will be challenging enough for me.

Very well said. + 1 [;)]

I usually play solitaire against another person.

The question was about WiTE, not your private life
