Is that what's known as a Cat-astrophe.

Well I tried to enlist the aid of my faithful ally, the Dog, in staging surreptitious black ops against the Cat. But he was only interested in participating in the tug-of-war ritual involving the sacred Sock.

After becoming allergic to the Cat, i have since embraced the concept of DOG. I have two of them, and they have an intense dislike of anything else with fur/hair that moves. They have kept all cats far from my gaming space, as well as squirrels, skunks(!!), possums, and armadillos.

it was a computer game .. but without hexes ( my memory from so long ago has become blurred through alchohol )

and you played cards to perform actions , sort of like a ww2 version of 'magic the gathering' . sorry i cant be more informative .. but at leaset we aren't pandering to bigb's original petulant post

why dosnt he reply here and explain his problems ? i originally assumed he was being sarcastic .. have since changed my mind .. come on BigB defend yourself

The cards were to get the politicians back home to give you what you wanted (where to invade/protect next). It was a good idea but there was no enforcement of whatever policy was decided upon. Something like that would make WitP very interesting - having to work with someone elses plans.

PTO II was a great game, I still have it(sega saturn version). The card part of the game was for monthly conference planning. Warship and Aircraft production and distribution of supplies, etc were discussed as well as three targets to focus on for the upcoming month. You only controlled the navy, your army was at the mercy of the dumb AI. Depending on your sucess at the three targets, you would gain or lose a card at next month's conference. IMO it's fun but you can't even try to compare it to WiTP. Only one thing WiTP lacks is the production aspect of PTO II which would have been very fun to have for the Allies.

yup thats the game i remember . I never understood it at all . the game was in english and i got a japanese manual .. not really very helpful

. I think I tried it a few times then binned it as uncomprehensible gibberish

. This was of course before the pornnet i mean internet was properly available . I'd have loved to have a forum on that old game . As it is i'm not sure i'd have ever even got close to understanding this game without the forums help .. and all the nice people who live here

You can still use a cat to destroy a computer wargame. It just is more expensive now. Put a hole in the bottom of the litter box. Then place said litter box over the area where the hard drive is located with the save game. Then wait. Eventually, the hard drive will corrupt the save game.

This also helps me understand the difference between cat people and dog people. Cat people must be perpetual losers!!!!
