I don't have a lot of faith in their promises on something that they give for free.[:(]

Who said "free", an improvement on WITP is worth paying for.

I would not mind paying for something that would load and upgrade onto the existing directory, but..we already paid $80 bucks!!!!!!

I have it on really good authority that we'll all find out in December. And since whatever it is, it probably won't be exactly what we personally want, why worry about it? Just be happy that something is coming and we haven't been forgotten.[:D]

Yeah.

The day they spread my ashes is coming soon enough too. You don't see my trying to push that date up any (ok, maybe I could drink less...)

Yeah i am reminding the "Road to Moscow" that so much promised but never released.

ah... why you did that and remind me..?[:(]

Agreed mate. I too was looking forward to this puppy............

Me too. Hard to believe it was canceled almost 10 years ago...

You'll definitely get the New Game back today. I should get CHS and IS2 installed and set up this afternoon too. I am just pricing up the options for a final fix. It's looking like it might be almost as cheap to get another tower from Dell, but I'll have to do the costings against the hassle of me doing the changeovers using my normal methods of trial and error and much swearing and shouting...

You could always buy a Gateway - Umm - I mean an Acer... [:D]

Are Gateway any good? I have seen a system that seems to have everything I need for a reasonable price.

Hi Carl,

In any system you buy I always recommend you go with a company that provides great customer support and a warranty - 4 years perferably. I've found Gateway support to be top-notch here in California - how it is in other countries/states is, of course, another matter. Also, Gateway personal computers were bought out by Acer recently. I haven't had much business with Acer products so I would ask around as to their customer support.

Dells, from my experience, are very good machines but my last few experiences with them had customer service farmed out to India. It took a while to go thru the channels to convince tech support to take me up to level II support. I also had a few problems with accents during phone conversations - it was just difficult to understand them when speaking english. A better way for Dell support seems to be to chat with them online. You can grant them access to your PC and they can at least see/experience the problem you are experiencing *IF* you can actually boot your PC and access the web (which is not always the case).

GOOD LORD NO! It's only the high alcohol content in our systems keeping all those nasty bugs at bay...

Didnt know there were so many orphans of Road to Moscow. [:)]
 
 
 
 

So does anyone think that the mystery announcement will be that WITP 2 is in development? Probably not, but I can't resist mentioning it...

No.

Sure..., I'll think that if you want. But since Matrix/2by3 have never given a rat's ass what I think..., I won't be holding my breath.

Let's see, what other old rumours could we resurrect?

How about War In the Med? [:'(]

It's probably War In The English Channel. Or is that the Military Channel? [:D]

After Avalon Hill came out with Victory In The Pacific, didn't they come out with War At Sea using the same game mechanics, covering the Atlantic and Med?

Ah... War in Russia 2 [:(]

Victory in the Pacific, War at Sea and the med variant is called War at Sea Deux but produced by a different company.

Several have mentioned War in Russia, and others have mentioned Avalon Hill games.
 
Not long before Avalon Hill gave up the ghost, they worked on some computer games - poor guys knew they had to keep up with the PC-generated revolution in gaming, but they didn't and I believe that drove them out of business.
 
One of AH's last gasp efforts (about nine years ago) was a computerized game dealing with Stalingrad.  It was similar to WitP in that both sides entered orders and then the turn ran.  It was a pretty good game.  I had it, but can't find it now.  Perhaps my wife threw it away.  Anybody remember it?

Other way around. AH came up w/ the Atlantic game before the Pacific game. Don't remember who came up w/ the idea to link them (w/ new areas, new ships and rule changes) but I think it was later standardized and sold.
