Is witp the official forum for both of these pacific games or has WPO lost its interest allready? In comparison to witp its so quiet here.
Im interested because if I buy this game Id like to know how hard it will be to find an opponent. I know the AI wont last for long.

Could be that despite common roots they are quite different games, IMHO. Common phrase way back was - "WITP is work, WPO is fun" [:)] Once you start playing there is no time for posting anymore - turns resolution goes much much faster [:D]
Just after release it was quite easy to find opponent. I think current and coming updates will keep it simple. I'm planning to start another PBEM just after vocations...

Besides, it's summer, and thus downtime for this place...

I'll second the comment about turn speed. I've advanced as much as 4-5 turns a day sometimes. Just check AARs :p

Perhaps a lot of WPO owners spend most of their time playing rather than WITP owners who spend most of there time posting.[;)]

I like how you say "WitP
owners" rather than "WitP
players"...[:D]

Another potential explanation is that WW2 happened, war in the 20's did not.
Most folks are more familiar with the personalities and equipment available in the WW2 years as opposed to 20 years prior to that.
A lot of folks have heard of the Yamato and Iowa, but not the Tosa...
With less familiarity with the stuff in the game (people and gear), their may less of a temptation to buy the game and play...

well, I'm owner and player of both games...and I must agree that WPO is more fun, fast to play...there can not be too many rants about unrealistic behaviour 'cause all the conflict is hypotethical...
in WitP almost everyone comparing against history, in WPO you just play and live with the results [8D]
