V22 Osprey -> Anyone still playing this game....... (6/2/2008 12:53:23 AM)

I guess War in the Pacific is better than WPO.Does anyone still play this game?



thegreatwent -> RE: Anyone still playing this game....... (6/2/2008 1:44:25 AM)

I do, plus there is at least a couple active AARs going on.

Yup!!



goodboyladdie -> RE: Anyone still playing this game....... (6/2/2008 9:44:14 AM)

It's a great game. El Cid made a very good point about a hidden virtue - It's a far better base for modders than WitP because it has no hard-coding apparently.



Matto -> RE: Anyone still playing this game....... (6/2/2008 10:54:32 AM)

Two PBEM campaings ...



MC202Folgore -> RE: Anyone still playing this game....... (6/2/2008 7:44:46 PM)

I'm still playing WPO! Slowly but surely...



V22 Osprey -> RE: Anyone still playing this game....... (6/2/2008 10:16:29 PM)

Ok good.....I just got this game and I didn't want to be lonely.



Mobeer -> RE: Anyone still playing this game....... (6/4/2008 12:08:08 AM)

I'm playing it a little - it's hard to adapt to having so little air assets, but interesting.



V22 Osprey -> RE: Anyone still playing this game....... (6/4/2008 8:01:09 AM)

I understand,I have only used aircraft ONCE since I got the game.This more for people who like BBs.



FDRLincoln -> RE: Anyone still playing this game....... (6/5/2008 5:42:15 AM)

It's a great game....I just haven't had time to play it much with real life interfering plus a long-term PBEM WitP game that has to take priority.

I've thought about starting a new game sometime to test my "Orange Dawn" scenario.



hueglin -> RE: Anyone still playing this game....... (6/16/2008 2:34:30 AM)

At some point I am going to start working on my "War in the West" mod. I have been busy with other things for the last (long) while.



crsutton -> RE: Anyone still playing this game....... (9/13/2008 4:13:16 PM)

I just ended my two year old game. Just too much down time with nothing happening to sustain our interst. We just hung it up.

However, I highly reccommend the short scenarios. They are fun and offer plenty of big gun action.



Matto -> RE: Anyone still playing this game....... (9/13/2008 9:53:25 PM)

Would be great to have more short scenarios ...



Anthropoid -> RE: Anyone still playing this game....... (5/4/2009 5:39:25 PM)

I reinstalled and am having a go at Pacific Jutland. Awesome game!

Scenarios need some work - but I love the game - even more than WITP - though I admit I spend more time with WITP - but not playing time - mostly project management time [:)]

The big attraction for me is the WPO is truly a naval game - especially the 1922-26 period. There really are no planes except for light short ranged search. The whole enemy battlefleet can be a few hexes away and you will have no idea.

I started and Rysyonok continued to support a "cautionaries" scenario. I planned to do both a "cautionaries" and a "thrusters" version. These are of course based on Millers excellent work on the period. Many scenario variations on these themes are possible - but they take some work - I probably spent 300 hours on "cautionaires" just getting it to the point were we could really play it - and it still probably had a weakness of a possible USN approach in the Kuriles that needed to be addressed.

But even given my work on AE - if I have the time - I would definitely like to not only play WPO again - but also work on scenarios for same. Just need a bit of that time!

Speaking of the naval game, did you ever do any more of the pre-dreadoughts? Your Majestic was truly majestic! :)



Anthropoid -> RE: Anyone still playing this game....... (5/6/2009 11:04:42 PM)

I like this game with combat animations on, more so than in WiTP. There is something engrossing about watching two big lineups of heavies goin' at it.

Geeze I hope the combat animations for AE are a bit more involved?

Iīm playing your "cautionaires" scenario ... and is great ! From my point of view (playing American side) is too easy for Japan take Philippines and I'm lucky, that my opponent is not so experienced and tried take Hawaiian Islands too ...

If interested, here is AAR from the war, but unfortunately just in Czech language: War for Phillippines



Przemcio231 -> RE: Anyone still playing this game....... (5/15/2009 11:42:38 AM)

Im playing a campaign now and as for now me and my opponent we are really pleased with the game:)

Uh, no, unfortunately that one is still "half finished" - there was this other little project "AE I think they call it - that came along and got in the way.
[:D]
The warships are done IIRC and the merchant ships are about half done - but net/net - that means the ships are about half done as I was planning quite a few merchies.




tex -> RE: Anyone still playing this game....... (5/18/2009 5:24:49 PM)

Well I for one would love to have those pre-dreads, as my attempt at art ended in total failure (fortunately, I didinīt quit my day job). So good luck on AE so you can get back to those lovely, incongruous monstrosities!

jwilkerson -> RE: Anyone still playing this game....... (5/19/2009 2:41:10 AM)

Hey I'm no artist either - I just started with an existing ship and proceeded one pixel at a time - get a decent paint program and blow up the bit maps so you can see every pixel and then you can easily change them.

Now there are real artists who do things differently and more efficiently - but my technique was just pure brute force.
[:)]

Do the waterline first - so you know how long the ship will be. John Eldredge on the AE team has a system - he could probably turn you on to - if you like.




tex -> RE: Anyone still playing this game....... (5/26/2009 7:24:43 PM)

Well if it is a system, then that sounds great, I will give it a try! So what do I do?



Perturabo -> RE: Anyone still playing this game....... (6/3/2009 3:21:53 PM)

I finally have resources to print the manual so, I think I'll be playing it soon.



jwilkerson -> RE: Anyone still playing this game....... (6/25/2009 4:21:06 AM)

PM JWE.



tex -> RE: Anyone still playing this game....... (6/30/2009 10:03:56 PM)

Hi, I pmīd you, please let me know if you didnīt get it. Thanks!

tex



jwilkerson -> RE: Anyone still playing this game....... (7/3/2009 2:50:19 AM)

Right, you PM'd me - I said PM JWE - he is the one with the real system. My system is just take a ship that is close to the one I want to make and change the pixels - mostly one by one - until I have the pixels I want - slow - but I have lots of control. Now there are real computer artists who do things differently - I am not among them so I know not how they do things.




tex -> RE: Anyone still playing this game....... (7/3/2009 8:56:53 AM)

Sorry to have bothered you , these old eyes of mine donīt work like they used to.



Connfire -> RE: Anyone still playing this game....... (7/31/2009 10:41:21 PM)

I just got the game a couple weeks ago - just in time to miss the current $10 off sale <doh!>. Visited the forum quite a bit before purchasing, the AARs were eventually what won me over. Love it so far - am learning the rules using Clash of the Titans scenerio as a guide. Still have a bit to learn, would like to get past the "dumb mistake" phase before trying PEBM.



Rysyonok -> RE: Anyone still playing this game....... (8/1/2009 7:39:48 PM)

At least in this game there is always time to fix those mistakes... :)
