Status: offline 		Hey all... wondering if I should pick this one up. WitP:AE is probably my favorite game ever made, and so far I enjoy WitW. I know there are issues with the air war in this one from browsing the forum, and I keep seeing mention of a WitE 2- is this something in the works or just some wishful thinking? Been searching the forum, but can't find answers. Trying to decide whether to buy this one and am a fan of 2by3's games. If a WitE 2 is planned, I might wait for that though. Cheers and thanks for any insight/help!

If I understand the comments about 2*3's plans then WiTE2 is some way off. They seem to want to do at least 2 more games based around the WiTW map/game system first.

With the current beta, WiTE is in good shape. Some things will frustrate, esp after WiTW (such as the much simpler supply system), but its still a great game and very engrossing

Any mods or ways to change this? Inconvenient on the smaller scenarios, but wanted to start a GC. Without this info (rail damage), just seems like it would be impossible to attempt.
