I played UV since the day it came out then switched to WiTP. It's not the only game I play, but it's been on my HD since it came out. Been through a computer swap and a couple job changes.

I even played PacWar some though it was the Matrix release, not the original. I'm not the student of the Pacific War that most here are. I've always been a bigger fan of the European theatre, with an emphasis on German armor and aircraft.

But I've yet to find a game that so captivates me like Witp.

I think dtravel is somehow ashamed of all the time he's spent on this poor, buggy game...

I invoke my human right to irrationality.

I did erase it from my computer for a time. As for when I got it, look at my reg date. (That is when the first patch came out, isn't it?)

Status: offline 		Had to check in on this.  Bought it when released, within a week or two.  It has never left my hard drive, but I've put it down numerous times because of bugs, life, etc.  I've tried my hand at pbem, but frankly it goes a bit too slow for me that way.  I wish the AI were a bit better in solitaire, but its still fascinating.  I'm playing out a scenario I started a year ago.  Trying to invade Japan from Alaska.  Not very sound, obviously, but it's providing an interesting challenge.

My current PBEM is in January 1943. I think that the only thing that will end my playing of the game is when I'm forced to run an operating system that it won't run on. Hopefully a long time from now...

I did buy a laptop so that I could take WITP on the road.

Status: offline 		Picked up UV for a few quid off e-bay and found this forum. Bought WITP soon after but took me about 6 months to get into it (was put off by the size plus I had plenty of UV PBEMs ongoing).

Since my last UV game finished I have concentrated on WITP. Still like to play 1st person shooters such as the Call of Duty series.

Status: offline 		I drove to Columbus, Ohio and purchased at Origins the first day it was available. Columbus was only 3 hours away at that time so it was not a superhuman effort. I played regularly until Patch 1.6 came out. That seemed to gum up things so badly that my regular opponent dropped out of the game in the summer of 2005. Work demands picked up for me so I dropped out too until just this February. It is all I play now.

Status: offline 		I came to Matrix Games back in 2000 because of their treatment of GG's PacWar, of which I was a big fan.  Then I played UV until WITP came out and downloaded it the hour it came out!

Unfortunately I've never 'finished' a single game of this monster, work and school took too much of my time and I stopped playing back in 2005.  I am currently 'relearning' it via the AI on a game I started last month.

Status: offline 		Halsey introduced me to UV in the fall of 03. Downloaded WitP 7/4/04, and never looked back. I have bought only three games since them, but these have served solely to fill in the time spent waiting for turns to arrive. I have to say that CHS and ABs map in particular have added a much-needed depth that is missing from stock scenarios. In stock, China is like a parking lot, terrain-wise. In CHS it is very tough.

Somewhere, War in the South Pacific is in there, but i am not sure if it was a direct progression or not... it covered (about) the same territory as UV...
