War Plan Orange is officially released now! 15 months and 22 days after it was started. I hope all who buy it have a blast with it.

Looks like I'll have to wait till next week to get it.

I understand the boxed edition comes out then? Digital download is a little difficult on those of us who still have dialup.

Sorry, I'll have to pass.

I want to see WITP working in a historical manner first.
No slight intended for those of you who worked so hard on this title.

If I start playing WPO too I'll have to live job and family.

Or, you could do what some of us WPO beta testers did, and speed-evolve until you can live off the EM radiation from your monitor. Then all you'll need are the voices in your head to keep you company as you play both WitP and WPO!

Well I'm downloading it now, so obviuosly what I'm about to say should be taken in that context. What I'm about to say is I find it a bit pricey (yes I know I have bought it) at �34 once you add local sales tax on. That's above what I'd be paying for a completely new game, rather than effectively an add on 'father of WITP'

I may be convinced once I start it but at present I feel its a reworked engine of WITP and as such has not had the same development time as a fully worked from scratch game as WITP is. Should it therefore cost this much?

At the end of the day its still affordable by me, but I do think a lot of people may say, hey guys isn't this a little on the high side, given it is a WITP 2......

Ok, back iinto my biunker to avoid the incoming salvoes!

Well I didn't think I was, especially as I said from the outset that I'd bought it myself. I was just raising a legitimate (IMHO) question as to why the pricing was as it was?

Nor did I mean any offence to anyone.

Cheers

No worries man. I just couldn't resist the parody though.

Hey the price is what it is. People just need to deal with it. Personally, I need to save some pennies, but I'm buying it as soon as I can.

Actually come to think of it I disagree, I play some of my best moves after a 'few' glasses of wine.

Sometimes my opponents think they are my best moves too....

Roger

'a few' is defined as a number when I can no longer racall the exact number that have been drunk. Sometimes this coincied with most of my units doubling in icons on the map!

I'm interested but I want to see how it handles surface combat first.

I got an e-mail from him but the graphics weren't attached.

I sent him a mail asking about it but I haven't heard back yet.
