At least the house won't be a mess when she returns. The area around the PC may leave a little to be desired ;)

I best not forget to pick her up at the airport. Can popup reminders be added to the game? ;)

In other words:  Welcome to the fascinating world of WITP, Panman!

Welcome aboard.

I'm surprised she still tolerates you, Todd.

About popups; I don’t think so, but 'rtrapasso' might be able to answer that better.

ditto the above. 

Ensure your coast watchers have instructions to be on the lookout for the silver bird carrying said returning partner. 

Check your lines of communication to make sure that said coast watchers don't mistake incoming enemy with the silver bird and cause you to be caught napping in the early stages of staying engaged with real life and doting on your new passion.

My only regret so far ... not having made the purchase sooner.

True enough, unless the erstwhile WITPer has been diagnosed with a terminal disease and has been given less than two years to live!

Where are you able to 'see' the manual for this one? I'm tempted.. price scares me, can't tell much by screen shots.. would like to 'see' the manual before making a decision..

I have both Witp and AE ... have never regretted either purchase.

Status: offline 		Are the manuals of WITP and AE similar?  Yes they are both large and detailed so that learning either game is an unending endeavor.  Be able to beat the AI on hard and then get clocked in PBEM.

No you wouldn't - victory would feel too cheap. I ran into the KB with 20 CAP fighters and no strike aircraft, and the feeling of victory was very empty.
