Also WITPAE is, hands down, the best cure against Onanism and sex addiction syndrome... once you play it enough you won't need anything else to answer to your biological stimolus


... and you won't even care when your girlfriend leaves you for a regular guy who plays World of Warcraft, or Grand Theft Auto.
You have a career in advertising, Greyjoy!

Seriously, just skim through the forum, read bits of the AAR, and see how so many of us play the game every day, and write about it, and complain about it, and still keep on playing. If you could make sense of WITE, you will be fine with the learning curve, and the game will be a bargain.

My PBEMs in UV, WitP and AE have been without match in any other game (AGEOD's AACW/ is a close second)

The AE Analysis Group are the ones that are still in denial and cannot get past the first step. The Analysis group's motto is 'I'm not an addict, I'm analysing' . But I can easily see how people can confuse the two

I've been around here since Uncommon Valor days and I am still here. How many years that is?

The game can be a simple computer wargame and is well worth the price at that level.

The game can also be a tool when used appropriately. In that sense it is priceless.

Just kidding, Roger, but I have not purchased another game for myself since 2006, other than AE when it was released.

Was it in 2005 ? Seems much longer. My first and only trip to Origins. Ran in, bought 5 copies, ran home to express ship out 4 of them before work :)

Status: offline 		I got my copy of WitP at Origins 2005 also. A very nice guy named Mogami talked with me for 1/2 an hour about how it improved the DOS based "Pacific War". I looked at it for maybe 10 min there and bought it. Haven't looked back.

Thanks to rjopel, he introduced me to WitP:AE later at another later Origins, and when I got home, ordered it since Matrix wasn't there that time.

It is truly the best money you can spend on gaming. You won't be spending any more on games, but research material, that is another story...

I'm fairly new to WITPAE after having played the old DOS version, PACWAR and the Matrix Edition, for many years. If you have the time to invest, this is the most in-depth wargame, I think, you will ever find. It is incredibly detailed and comprehensive. Worth every penny and more.
