Hi people. Not been here in a fair long while as had to put gaming on hold for a year whilst real life had to take over. I recently moved house and now I have my own gaming room and have only just now found the time to play a few computer games. I had saved a few up that had downloaded but not played. These were, Flashpoint Germany, Cross of iron and UFO. After playing about with each for a week or so WitP has found its way back on the computer with the new update. Now I remember why I physically removed it from the machine a year or so ago. This game is computer wargame crack. I'm addicted all over again and apart from a bit of the UFO game (now I got the mods working - jeeze!!) I have been playing WitP exclusively with that same old terrible addiction I thought I had broken - Help!!!

Apart from keeping you up all night, at least it won't rot your teeth like crack. [:D]

It will if he gets so involved he forgets to floss.

Has anyone taken a laptop on a long plane flight and played witp (or something equally time consuming?)
 
Does it make the hours zip by?

Past xmas, got stuck in Denver for a long weekend. Found an outlet in the airport and didn't move out of my chair for 16 hours.... Discovered how mind numbing the game can be.

Yeah strike that. I couldn't feel anything from the armpits down. Had to stop 'cause my vision blurred.

If WitP vs AI= Crack
 
then
 
WitP vs PBEM = Crack, Vegas, Martini Lunches, Meth, Potato Chips, Chips Ahoy etc. all put together...

And then when you go into WitP modding... Just forget about it...[:D]

I don't know about the plane rides, but I take my laptop with me on trips/vacations so my wife has the usual view on back

I've taken my laptop with me on several trips. Infortunately, the battery will only run about an hour with WITP running (almost twice that if I'm just dealing with the internet), so I can't use on for the whole flight. I did start a new CHS game a few years ago as I was flying into Oahu - I thought that the symbolism of running the Dec 7 turn at that time was too cool to pass on...

Last thanksgiving I was stuck in an airport for a few hours when my flight was delayed and WITP kept me sane...

All I have now is a laptop.....a good one though.  Take it with me everywhere.  I've played turns at Maui, Oahu, Kona, Panama City {FL}, Portland, LA, San Diego, and just about everywhere within two hours drive of Sacramento.  Never played ON a plane though.  Battery doesn't last long.
 
Gonna go to China for 2 weeks next year.  Anybody know if the power outlets there fit ours?  Anybody know if the power grid there is safe for laptop?  Worried about surges damaging my laptop.

On my intercontinental business trips witp has been a real joy, my flights (if the battery holds or I have power) feel almost too short, and being jet lagged at a hotel at 4 am is a true joy -> 3-4 hours of pure witp.
 
Shhh don't tell the company I installed a game on the laptop (without admin rights)....
 
The only complaint is that it is sluggish after my home computer.
