Gentlemen, I ask for your attention.

Our sources are reporting that today one of the biggest, deepest and most detailed wargames ever made, has been put on sale.

The analysts concur that it will remain in this status for the duration of the entire weekend, so your window of opportunity is limited.

We are certain that our target is 50% discounted; this means that the ones who will dare to take it on will have the chance to play the largest air/naval conflict in history at half the regular price!

Which game am I speaking about? Of course, it is

War in the Pacific: Admiral�s Edition!

This monster wargame set in the Pacific theatre during the WWII will be on sale until Monday 10th at midnight Pacific Daylight Time (9am CEST/ 3am EDT)!

Grab it now!

Why ? 90 Euro was too expensive. For me at least. YES, the game is worth much, but it depends on the personal situation too. A better situated guy can pay this 90,- IF he has enough time to play it in the first place. As for people who have not that much time and only would play occasionally another matter. As this game imho can not be played at half attention, it needs full attention. Not everyone has this and so will buy a game for 40,- which can be played also on lesser attention levels. Eg. Steel Panthers or the TW series are such fabulous games. Which are great but can played more leisurely too.

Not to distract from WITP which is fantastic if you have resources and attention to play it fully.

Btw. I mean the middle phase TW games as the newer ones don�t seem to be that great.

Oh, no, please do not misunderstand my comment..I also feel the full price is very expensive, but my astonishment at the game being discounted is akin to how I might feel that a 1939 Cord automobile might be sold for one hundred dollars for a weekend..
Of course my view of the game is bound to be prejudiced by the fact that I paid that full price when released, after also having paid full price for its' predecessor and knowing THAT games' qualities, and knowing some of the modders who worked diligently to turn out this later, more historically correct and more accurate AND playable game..

My financial status was not a consideration after having owned that first version of WITP, I knew by then how valuable the game was. From that point, it was a matter of what I was willing to sacrifice to acquire it.

I agree there is no question that is is one the most valuable games. IF you can attach the time to it it needs. If someone works eg. 40h-45h / week and also needs to care about family etc. I feel it might not be the right game for him. So do not missunderstand what I meant... I played most strategy games also far too much, as so much that you have no life then

These turn based games are much better than action or real time ones cause you can eat, drink and do some other stuff during turns. Not possible with call of duty (which first 2 or 3 ones I liked but they cannot reach the appeal of good strategy games imo).

Just for the record, it really is possible to play the game, even PBEM, spending only a couple hours a week on it. The trick is finding an opponent who is also willing to play a relaxed schedule.

Personally, I've never understood the guys who can turn around several turns in one day! My current opponent and I are lucky to get one done (back and forth) in a week -- look at the "Dave, David; Potato, Potahto" AAR to see what I mean. We've passed the stage where conflicting events meant it took a couple months for one turn, but we're still slower than most folks (and still playing).

Can you tell me if the version now on sale is the most current version and if the color manual has been updated to match?

Thanks!

Per the manual you are still required to copy/paste your own..

I tried to find more victims, errr... I mean customers by posting on my FB account. Got a lot of likes, but most of them are already committed to this lifestyle...
