Status: offline 		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.

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...

I like how you say "WitP owners" rather than "WitP players"...

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...

Status: offline 		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

And as its a historical, people are going to wonder who is this and that leader...
