But it is one helluva commitment and can be distressing when the die rolls go against you. After Midway, a Signals Intelligence operator overheard the Kaigun declaring "we're done with this ridiculous vampire squid of a USN carrier force...."

That's a shame Bill.....with all the game has to offer..Maybe your friend is just into tactical games rather than Strategic??
Too...we all know how intricately detailed this game is..I have NEVER played a game of WITP without feeling I failed to give orders to at least one unit on every single turn.........


He is more tactically minded than strategic.

I'm the same way you are. Turns without much going on are opportunities to deal with those back burner management issues you have been putting off.

I think this game teaches you to let go at times.. Sure, there is always something left to do but some things, much like real life, can wait... and life will go on


CF - very well put. That is exactly what I am trying to learn to do. I love the micromanagement, but pay the price in the time it takes me to do a turn (campaign game). There is progress, I am down to two to three hours if I don't mess around (read or look up various concepts or subjects on the forum).

AE is a phenomenal game. I do (and have been) taking a break by playing something else; but AE always pulls me back.

This past week, while waiting for the weekend (when Life Begins), I have spent time considering how to slow down the Japanese advance in the DEI (mid Jan 42, Scn 50). Will do a turn tomorrow morning after walking the dogs.

This is a great thread - very informative and entertaining.

Status: offline 		Well WitP:AE is a good strategy game and yes it does require a lot of micromanagements though. If you were in real war situations back then, you will be sitting down trying to figure things out as a leader.

I love it, just want to finish my maps first before I attempt to go back in there.

Friends, forumites, countrymen, lend me your ears;
chazz came to abandon WIPAE, not to praise it;
The evil that some video games do lives after them,
The good is oft interred with their bones,
So let it be with WIPAE… The noble chazz
Hath told you WIPAE was a time vampire:
If it were so, is it a grievous fault?
Yet chazz says it is a time vampire;
And, sure, he is an honorable man.
I speak not to disprove what chazz spoke,
But here I am to speak what I do know.
You all do love WIPAE, not without cause:
What cause can withhold you then to speak for it?
To go off topic?
O judgement! thou art fled to brutish beasts,
And men have lost their reason…. Bear with me;
My heart is with WIPAE,
And I must pause till it come back to me.

To play, or not to play: that is the question:
Whether ’tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous carrier fortune,
Or to take arms against a sea of task force troubles,
And by opposing - end them?
To sink and then to sleep;
No more; and by a sleep to say we end
The heart-ache and the thousand dive bomber shocks that flesh is heir to,
’tis a consummation devoutly to be wish’d?

Yeah?

Speak to me what thou art.
G - Thy evil spirit, Brutus.
B - Why comest thou?
G - To tell thee thou shalt see me at Philippi.
B - Well, then I shall see thee again?
G - Ay, at Philippi.
B - Why, I will see thee at Philippi, then.

Marcus Junius Brutus and Gaius Cassius Longinus:
B - Even by the rule of that philosophy; By which I did blame Cato for the death which he did give himself (I know not how, but I do find it cowardly and vile, for fear of what might fall, so to prevent the time of life), arming myself with patience; to stay the providence of some high powers, that govern us below.
C - Then if we lose this battle, you are contented to be led in triumph thorough the streets of Rome?
B- No, Cassius, no. do not imagine that I’ll ever allow myself to return to Rome in chains. My mind is too great for that. But today, the work that March 15th began must end, and I don’t know if we’ll meet again. Therefore, accept my everlasting farewell. Forever and forever, farewell, Cassius! If we meet again, then we’ll smile. If not, then this parting was well done.
C - Forever and forever farewell, Brutus. If we do meet again, we’ll smile indeed. If not, ’tis true this parting was well made.

Yeah!

He that outlives this day, and comes safe home,
Will stand a tip-toe when this day is nam’d,
And rouse him at the name of GAMING.
He that shall live this day, and see old age,
Will yearly on the vigil feast his neighbours,
And say “To-morrow is gaming day.”
Then will he strip his sleeve and show his scars,
And say “These wounds I had on gaming day.”
Old men forget; yet all shall be forgot,
But he’ll remember, with advantages,
What feats he did that day. Then shall our names,
Familiar in his mouth as household words-
JWilkerson,WDolson,Terminus,Andrew Brown,TheElf,Eric Rutins,etc.
Be in their flowing cups freshly rememb’red.
This story shall the good man teach his son;
And gaming day shall ne’er go by,
From this day to the ending of the world,
But we in it shall be remembered-
We few, we happy few, we band of brothers;
For he to-day that sheds his blood with me
Shall be my brother; be he ne’er so vile,
This day shall gentle his condition;
And gentlemen in Gameland now-a-bed
Shall think themselves accurs’d they were not here,
And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks
That fought with us upon this gaming day.

Maybe he was just scared of time vampires. The look scary.

...and their breath is bad.

...and they don't know what non sequitor means.

Seriously, though, it is too bad. WitP is definitely not for everyone. Kinda like advanced math classes. Room full with 30+ people at the beginning of the semester, only for five or six people to stick it out to the end. The others complain that it took too much work to figure out, I guess because they figure those who are comfortable with math never had to work their backsides off to learn it, right?

There was a historical battle (forget which one) where the Enterprise was operating with another CV (in the same hex in game terms) but was hidden by a squall when the attack came and the other CV took all of it.


Midway, I think....GP



No, it was during the Solomns campaigns. Santa Cruz I think. There was a thread not too long ago where this was discussed. I can't recall the name of it or anything, my memory is lame these days.

Someone posts about hating the game because he lost a CV group, and within a day, y'all are discussing the archeology of computers.

It reminds me of a line I once read:

"I hate Wikipedia! Yesterday I used it to look up the history of Tammany Hall, and a half hour later I'm sitting in front of my computer thinking, "Why the hell am I reading up on the origins of Swedish Death Metal music…'"


He obviously left, so we might as well take it wherever.

I've been at it hard for about a year and a half (I'm a slow learner these days) now and I'm just about there. I started at the deep end of the pool though. Japan, GC. Learning the economy is an effort as it can be broken. That's not saying the game is broken, it just there's so many things that can go wrong if you don't know what you're doing. Trust me I broke it, but hey I learned. My current game (#4 I think), the economy is fine. The last thing I'm working on is the A/C R&D, and doing this wrong will break the economy.

Read the forum, ask questions, check the tutorials, you'll get there. Enjoy.

Yeah, I'm going to start in the deep end of the pool. I played 1 GC as the Japanese PBEM in WiTP. But somewhere along the line it just died. But I can never forget the epic save of the Akagi by sending a repair ship to meet it at some podunk harbor before it sank.

Converting those various ships looks daunting. But I'll get there. Play a few turns, screw up, start over..... Good thing I'm retired :)
