Hey, I saw in the reports forum that some people were playing multiplayer. Is the AI in the game a challenge to fighting the campaign? or is it really easy to defeat the AI?

What about cats cr??? Well I guess they don't care much if you are fully occupied by your computer or not, they'll sit on the warm keyboard regardless.

As a new addict to WITP, I have to say that while I agree with all the above posts about the awesomeness of this game, it is most definitely not for everyone. The extreme level of detail and micro-management required, including hundreds of ships; thousands of planes and pilots including their training and day to day operation; hundreds of LCU (land units) that require micro-management to ensure the units you want to be at full strength have priority on the limited spare goodies; thousands of mouse-clicks every turn to handle just day-to-day operation; 100-hours spent setting up the first turn of a 'serious' grand campaign...

...and all that's if you're Allies. As Japan this is magnified by having to manage the movement of material to industrial centers and controlling every aspect of the production of all the materials of war.

If that sound something you'd enjoy doing (as I do!) then this game is a bargain at the price (though my wife might have a different opinion). This is not a game that will appeal to 'immediate gratification' folks; this is a game where a campaign game will potentially go on for a year, if not multiple years!

I hope I didn't paint too negative a picture, but this is a game with detail and micro-management requirement like none other. After playing this game, the volume on other games has gotten turned down to the point I have little interest in other games.

Good luck, hope you buy the game and join our addiction!

I may be a bit biased, but this game has kind of ruined me for other war games.
