Status: offline 		Sorry guys, but I need to make an announcement.

War Plan Orange is going to have to be delayed. I have completed it on my end, and require only finishing touches. However, Mike has a huge workload, and so War Plan Orange needs to be sidelined temporarily. Rest assured, this does not mean WPO is dead.

I plan to use this time to begin work on the Russo-Japanese War and Jutland scenarios/campaigns that I had intended to do post release. However, should Mike be able to get to Plan Orange before these are completed, I will not further delay it so that these may be included.

For a lineup of what Plan Orange offers, two main four and a half year campaigns, a third 4.5 year campaign that is a variant of one of these, a one and a half year long scenario, and two two month PBEM only/training scenarios.

While I too am disappointed in the delay, I assure you that War Plan Orange will be well worth the wait. From a computer gaming standpoint, no game like it exists, and the closest thing to it from a gaming standpoint is Avalanche Press' US Navy Plan Orange. All good things are worth the wait, and I assure you that I will strive to further improve this game. I have had a blast making it, and I am sure that once it finally gets released, it will be just as fun to play.

I thank you for your support and understanding.

Use the scenario editor and remove all CVs and play a great game!

Wasn't there a war between Chile and Peru in the 1920's? A naval war?

It might cope to an extent.... AI play would be out of the question however, but PBEM would certainly be feasible, albeit with some tweaks.
