Ever dream about AWD?

Gary Grigsby’s World at War is back with a whole new set of features. World at War: A World Divided still gives complete control over the production, research and military strategy for your side, but in this new updated version you’ll also be able to bring spies into the mix as well as neutral country diplomacy, variable political events and much more. Perhaps the largest item is the ability to play a special Soviet vs. Allies scenario that occurs after the end of World War II.

Ever dream about AWD?

Post by christian brown »

I fell asleep on the the train today convinced that a climactic battaille for Rostov was in this works.....scary.....
This kind of thing ever happen to you?

BTW, I won, the Russians got a 45% victory! Now back to the PBEMs where things are not so rosy.... nor so easy in dreamland....

Have not dreamed about it yet but once in awhile I'll think of my next move and it puts me to sleep.[>:]  Least you were winning.[:D]

Yes, actually. [X(]
Being somewhat behind I answered all of my PBEMs yesterday with some interesting situations present. Then later at night I couldn't stop thinking about the strategic problems and opportunities. Being half-asleep it became worse, my mind mixed up things of the different games and added some fiction. In the end I slept really bad and am tired the whole day...
It's worth it though! [&o]

Don't know why I see myself reflected in all posts above. I usually get to sleep by thinking new strategies or the move I'm going to take, but heck I don't sleep bad because of it, lol.

I think Tetris get you to dream and day dream with it, when my sister got a gameboy and that was a long time ago, I couldn't take tetris out of my mind, those damn blocks falling and fitting awful, I'd rather dream with AWD and similar strategy games.

The first time that happened to me was with Sim City (1 - of course!) on the Amiga. I played it almost non-stop the first days, and kept "building" my cities while asleep. [:)]

Don't worry though: It's not frequent for me, and I learned how to stop when playing too much - I think... [:D]

Do you know how to stop playing AWD? I had no problem with tetris at all, but AWD is another thing, also it's not just the game it's all the opinions you get to read and write in the forum [:D]

...read and write in the forum
*lies* Sure, how hard could that be!

It's not that hard for me at the moment though, the university is demanding attention. Wait a minute, I could try to get my tutor to play it... [:D]

And no sir, I'm not guilty of looking often in the forum! Not at all! *lies again*

University, being single, no money but lots of time... Sweet gone days for me.
Enjoy them while they last (carpe diem), 'cause after that it's the real world, oh it has it's advantages too, more money ... less time [8D]

I've had situations where if I play a game too much it invades my sub-conscious...

It's only happened with Fallout II, which I was addicted too at university. If I was half-asleep I'd see the game interface, and start to see things in terms of points gained. VERY SAD.

Well, at least I'm amongst friends...

I invaded Mongolia, with a unit of Japanese Milita, last turn before bed and went to sleep dreaming of a Japanese version of Dad's Army.

The fact that I started this thread and did not get tarred and feathered for it is in fact rather problematic...........if you think about it.

I've also been known when semi-asleep to (OK, this is actually real, cringe) tell my lady friends they don't have supply for movement and must stop whatever they are doing.

Fallout was great but I have a question about it though. Were the rumours of Dr Who's tardis, just that??(never did find the damn thing[:D])
 
I so wish I had a copy of fallout 2.[:(]
 
Oh and tonight, I'll probably have nightmares of that damn central med battle............

Yeah, and one time, I told my ex she couldn't get out of bed because, and I quote myself here: "that's an illegal strategic move."  No wonder she's divorcing me, lol!

This is just too much, you ought to cut down a bit man. What if you said "chance of succesfully invading 35%"

I couldn't help bursting laughing when I read what you said in bed.

Well, as everybody ought to know, it's not allowed to get in (read: invade) and out of a bed in the same turn! [:-] [:D]

Gotta admit, the answer is no. My main pbem buddy and I were just chatting about this the other day. What we like about AWD is that it is a light game, no slur intended, that is fun to play but no biggie if you make a few mistakes.
 
We relate this to WiF (board version - at least until Steve is done) where you are planning and plotting and reviewing the map between gaming nights. Much more stressful from our viewpoint.
