Anyone still playing this game.......

I guess War in the Pacific is better than WPO.Does anyone still play this game?

[thegreatwent]

I do, plus there is at least a couple active AARs going on.

Yup!!

[goodboyladdie]

It's a great game. El Cid made a very good point about a hidden virtue - It's a far better base for modders than WitP because it has no hard-coding apparently.

Two PBEM campaings ...

I'm still playing WPO! Slowly but surely...

[V22 Osprey]

Ok good.....I just got this game and I didn't want to be lonely.

[Mobeer]

I'm playing it a little - it's hard to adapt to having so little air assets, but interesting.

[V22 Osprey]

I understand,I have only used aircraft ONCE since I got the game.This more for people who like BBs.

It's a great game....I just haven't had time to play it much with real life interfering plus a long-term PBEM WitP game that has to take priority.
 
I've thought about starting a new game sometime to test my "Orange Dawn" scenario.

At some point I am going to start working on my "War in the West" mod. I have been busy with other things for the last (long) while.

I just ended my two year old game. Just too much down time with nothing happening to sustain our interst. We just hung it up.
 
However, I highly reccommend the short scenarios. They are fun and offer plenty of big gun action.

[Matto]

Would be great to have more short scenarios ...

I reinstalled and am having a go at Pacific Jutland. Awesome game!

Scenarios need some work - but I love the game - even more than WITP - though I admit I spend more time with WITP - but not playing time - mostly project management time [:)]

The big attraction for me is the WPO is truly a naval game - especially the 1922-26 period. There really are no planes except for light short ranged search. The whole enemy battlefleet can be a few hexes away and you will have no idea.

I started and Rysyonok continued to support a "cautionaries" scenario. I planned to do both a "cautionaries" and a "thrusters" version. These are of course based on Millers excellent work on the period. Many scenario variations on these themes are possible - but they take some work - I probably spent 300 hours on "cautionaires" just getting it to the point were we could really play it - and it still probably had a weakness of a possible USN approach in the Kuriles that needed to be addressed.

But even given my work on AE - if I have the time - I would definitely like to not only play WPO again - but also work on scenarios for same. Just need a bit of that time!

Speaking of the naval game, did you ever do any more of the pre-dreadoughts? Your Majestic was truly majestic!

[Anthropoid]

I like this game with combat animations on, more so than in WiTP. There is something engrossing about watching two big lineups of heavies goin' at it.
 
Geeze I hope the combat animations for AE are a bit more involved?

I´m playing your "cautionaires" scenario ... and is great ! From my point of view (playing American side) is too easy for Japan take Philippines and I'm lucky, that my opponent is not so experienced and tried take Hawaiian Islands too ...

If interested, here is AAR from the war, but unfortunately just in Czech language: War for Phillippines

[Przemcio231]

Im playing a campaign now and as for now me and my opponent we are really pleased with the game:)

Uh, no, unfortunately that one is still "half finished" - there was this other little project "AE I think they call it - that came along and got in the way.
[:D]
The warships are done IIRC and the merchant ships are about half done - but net/net - that means the ships are about half done as I was planning quite a few merchies.
