The Baldur's Gate series still ranks best IMO.....great times playing those online with my buddy.

Correctum... The only reason I'm not reinstalling the whole she-bang is that there still isn't 48 hours in a day...

My condolences, Robert

Tithe...

Tithe.

Also, the turn has been sent tithe.

Good morning Nik[:)]

My goal for the day is to play WITP.[8D]

Question gentlemen. Now that we have fixed my son's computer, he wants to start WITP He has another 10 days off). Where is a good place to look on the forum to plan a first Japanese turn. I have not done this yet and finding it a little intimidating.

Hi-This is for Bruce Powers, re his sons' game & Japanese first moves.

There is a "WITP Unofficial Strategy Guide" by a number of people such as Mr.Frag, Joel Billings, Luskan, etc. My copy has the remark, "Updated 07/22/04".

I downloaded this from the WITP forum , but cannot remember where the link is.

It includes such topics as "Jap turn 1 checklist", etc.

Perhaps others can help on the link.

Good playing!! Hugh Browne

A "little" intimidating! That's an understatement of British proportions!

Bah, you'd feel lonely and abandoned without me...[:'(]

Another absurd and irrelevent post from Termynus. [;)]

If you're not careful, I might start doling out carefully measured morsels of my vast knowledge about Japanese atomic-powered bombers!

Best piece of general advice i can give is: "The less you do on turn 1.....the more you'll have to do on the following turns."

What that means is, while Turn 1 Japan is arguably the biggest pain in the a$$ turn to do in all of WitP, you have to bite the bullet and put in the time to do it decently otherwise your going to be scrambling and working harder on the following turns. (I should know....i once did a Japan turn 1 in under 30minutes.....felt good, till the following turns when the string of "DOH's!!!!!" started happening......

forgot to include a base force with that invasion....planes grounded... DOH!

Certain units/bases low on supply during crucial period....DOH!

DD's needed, nearest available unit in Northern Japan watching the Russians....DOH!

Forward base secured.......no fuel for warships....must wait a week for emergency TK replenishment from Japan....DOH!


Moral of story. Take your time....do it right....you don't have to go "Mogami" on it, but it still pays to be slow and thorough.

Bah...everyone knows Japan couldn't power those bombers due to a shortage of galactic Elderberries.
