Randy, you don't maneuver ships in WITP. It's scale is such that you create task forces, give them a destination and a job to do and hope that they do a decent job of it. I just didn't want you to have the wrong expectations of my favorite game...

I would still have to stick with Panzer General, despise somewhat outdated graphics I still find the game very enjoyable. But as Neilster said, that is bound to change when MWiF is released!

*edit* Oh and I completely forgot Navyfield, sailing ww2 ships and blowing other ships up kinda works for me although the game has serious lacks of content imho. But for 30min-1 hour every now and then it works.

In that case, I recommend you Battle Isle 3, if you can find it somewhere. Works on Windows XP just fine and resolution goes up to 1600x1200 [:D]

I would love to play Panzer General and Allied General again....but I don't know if they work on XP and don't know where to get them...but they were my intro to the wargame world!!

Go here http://users.skynet.be/rmypegww2/
Great site. It's main purpose is to make it possible too play Panzer General 2 campaigns with Peoples General game.
It takes some work to get it going but it's worth it.
I think you can find links both to Panzer General and Allied General there as well. No problem for me playing on XP.

Edit:
When I say no problem on XP I meant PG2 and Peoples General.
I think Allied General is OK as well, but I'm not sure. Don't know about Panzer General.



JudgeDredd -> RE: Your Favorite Computer Based Wargame (9/22/2006 1:03:05 PM)

Strictly, SP:WAW. Ihave other games that I want to dedicate some time to but for lack of time I seem to gravitate back to SP:WAW.
I also find myself avoiding playing some games like, Combat Mission, HPS GEttysburg, HTTR. I don't know what it is about myself and this avoidance of certain games. I would like to think because of my lack of time I revert to what I find easier. But I think I'm one of those creatures of habit and just find it hard to try new things. Anybody have my problem? Or is it a blessing to be this way.?
