I wonder how many of the improvements that are in WiTP will be put into UV?

You can play the UV theater as scenarios of WitP

Those are subs, aren't they? If it was KB it should be a few hexes to the NW of Pearl....methinks. But you are right, the screenshots are nice.

I like the "cheesecake" in the screenies

True but will it have the detail that UV has? I think UV with some of the improvements would be a great game of the smaller theatre its meant to be.

Great news Matrix/2By3!

Now I'll need to work on advertising this piece of work to some of my old service buddies, pursuading them to purchase a copy of the best game they would ever only want to experience!

Not that I have any say in the matter, but I would rather see the time spent on Bomb Alley.

Bomb Alley? I've heard of that one, but never seen it. What was it about?

Those screenshots are looking good -- I just hope that one of the equipment data cards they used in some of the backgrounds for the configuration screens says "CRM 114"

(Oh yeah, and that the "Buy it!" link starts working soon!

)

Bomb Alley was a war in the Med game using the Guadalcanal Campaign engine (Gary's first Pacfic war game) for the Apple II.

I too cast my vote for "War in the Med" a remake of Bomb Alley!

Sorry I made up the list and I don't often use the editor. I'll see if I can't get that corrected.

Everyone had better realize, of course, that instead of getting photos with kisses on it like "Jimmy" did in the screenshot of the Save Menu, we are going to be getting photos of the "finger" from our wives/and or girlfriends... Does the "Quit" menu have a copy of divorce papers on it?

Have fun ...

This is nice to see. Means that the guys ARE talkin amongst themselves.

I saw that the notation on the site for a TCP/IP interface has been removed. Means less confusion for any new blood to the game thinking they can play online.

Not to mention the fact that I LOVE the screenies. This is gonna be a blast!

Just noticed, when you are looking at the Allied war plane data, you get a splash screen of japanese aircraft and while you look at the japanese war plane data, you get an allied aircraft splash screen.

Isn't this backwards?

Hello...

If you are the Japanese player, you get the Japanese 'splash' for all aircraft. If you are the Allied player, you get the Allied 'splash' for all aircraft.

Bye...
