ORIGINAL: RRS One other question. Why didn't Grigsby ever combine War in Russia, Western Front and Pac War into a grand WW2 title? Just curious. Rob, Rob - welcome to the Forum and the game! The second part i can answer without too much difficulty: Grigsby mentioned he would never redo WITP, i guess because the programming is just too complicated... there are LOTS of programming problems in the code, and weird interactions pop up not infrequently... (this, i think, is what is going on with your "disbanding" problem)... To try to jump another quantum level of complexity by combining three complicated games into one was (is, i think) beyond the limits of what a relatively small gaming company could accomplish, esp. since it was stretching capability for even one (WITP) - Personally (and this is strictly my opinion), i don't think WITP was terribly playable until there were about 2 years worth of patches done... certainly hundreds of people DID play it (despite problems), but often it was with a growing sense of frustration. Even now, people still get annoyed/frustrated/angry with the (increasingly rare) problems they can encounter. Usually, these can be worked through with help from the forum - so if you do happen to hit a snag - check here. As for "disbanding fragments" - i haven't run into the problem you describe... but it is generally a bad idea to WITHDRAW a unit and try to return pilots to a pool, i think... best to DISBAND the group, which transfers the pilots and planes to another similar unit in the same hex.
