Yes, the whole enchilada's a bear. Look around, though, for someone likely to play with. PBEM is the only way to get at WitP's best stuff.

So play a PBEM. You "can" only play once your partner had done the turn and replied to you and will only do one or 2 turns a day, so will probably never reach the 10 hours a week. I play 15 hours a week and I'm playing 3 PBEM and I still have a social life.

Game is so much better in PBEM and the "slow" pace is not a problem. You will probably spend more time thinking to plans or reading this forum for ideas/advices than really gaming and will improve faster.

Playing a human by mail is really more interesting because :
1) you never know what he will do
2) you never know when the turn will return. May be nerve-crasking if you took huge risks sometimes. I guess some of us spend most of the day wondering where enemy CVs can be...

Because a marginal victory requires 1.25x your opponent's score. You needed slightly more than 6000 points to win.

As it happens, I'm playing this scenario as Japan in a PBEM. Which side did you play, and which bases did you have by scenario end? So far the Allied player is kicking my butt, but I'm still ahead on points...

As for PBEM, I'm finding it's not quite as time-consuming as I expected. If you take the plunge, start with only one PBEM. Once you've got three, it can sometimes get daunting: you come home from work with 3 turns to do, and you forget what you were doing in each game, and you get overwhelmed. :)

Lots of days not much happens and you can do the whole turn in an hour or less. Then you can think out your strategy while sitting next to your wife in front of the TV and pretending to be interested in the latest movie on Lifetime.
