Can't afford to be tempted away from studying at this point and I have a feeling the game would be good at that.

Hi DarenDF,

I've been playing this game and its predecessor, "vanila" War in the Pacific for about 9 years now. Before that, I used to regularly buy video games-first person shooters, various and sundry Civ-style games, 'beer n' pretzel' strategy games or RTS titles.

With a small handful of exceptions, I haven't purchased any other computer games over that timeframe. Even if AE is twice as expensive as a 'typical' computer game, it will eat so much of your life, that you'll save money. Also, just think of the other entertainment, recreation, personal hygeine and expensive dating that you can do away with now too.

As others have said, this game is a bargain by almost any measure.

A very wise precaution indeed

WitP/AE and its various predecessors (PacWar, WitP and now WitP/AE) caused me quite some slips in keeping appointments in the last 20 (!) years.
This stuff is ADDICTIVE. Once a move is finished you just want to have a look at the outcome, adjust a bit here and there, and suddenly you are in full swing of planning the next move. And then you want to see, of course, how it works. Back to square one and the cycle restarts.

Support is superb and the game has genuine love and dedication from its devteam and players.

Also if you enable -nopants in the config file you get a beneficial DRM to torpedo accuracy when playing Dillworth Style. fact.

More important: WHERE?
Couldn't find it in the manual/notes.
And when I asked my wife where I should look for the no-pants feature she gave me a very stern look ...
