Agreed. And that is why I profoundly thank all for letting me spout, and why I will gamely continue to try to "get into" this game. Wish me fortitude.


Back in July, 2004, when I first got WITP (the predecessor of AE), my first (second and third) thought(s) were, "I will NEVER be able to play this game."

And it took at least months and hundreds of turns before I changed mind. I played against the AI only for maybe the first month, then tried two PBEM disasters as the Japanese in the campaign game. Fortunately, one of my Allied opponents had a worse disaster than I did and I came out of those two games "one and one".

It does take a lot of effort to learn and it is not for everyone. But those who like it would mostly NOT be satisfied by much else.

Misconduct -> RE: My humble opinion of WITPAE (12/20/2011 3:09:20 AM)

I remember getting WITP and tinkering with my first few campaigns, oh dear has time passed. Few years later I get AE the day it comes out and did one last allied PBEM before taking on the Japanese Industry. Currently in the middle of an Allied PBEM roughly around 10/20/42 I can look back and say "Time well spent playing Admirals Logistics".

Each Day I am puzzled to whether my turn will be sour grapes (simply logistics movement) or the small airfield raid by 50 planes.

So far nothing special going on, I lost Moresby early to the Japanese and just retook her last month (9/42), I would say more however I know my opponents wondering eyes would gladly love to have some Intel about now, quite sure his finger nails are being bitten off at my next great crusade :)

Whenever WITP 3 comes out, Surely will have the 300+ page manual printed the same day, eager to run the logistic gauntlet of the pacific.




Grotius -> RE: My humble opinion of WITPAE (12/20/2011 3:53:33 AM)

Shartlep, that's a fair comment. For what it's worth, I find the logistical challenge diminishes as I play. The first few turns, especially the first, are the worst -- you have to set everything in motion. Once things are moving, often the follow-up turns are more routine. Not always, though, heh.
