WitP/AE now on SALE

Ratel makes some valid points. One move is one game day, and once the game gets going (the first move or two always take a bit more time), a move can take 30 to 40 minutes. At one move per real day, you'll move along at the pace of the real war.

But the full-war campaigns are rarely played, and when they are, the winner is usually apparent after a year or so. Most of the other campaigns will be much shorter, sixty to ninety days.

The game is not perfect; one issue is the lack of new scenarios in the AE version. The game comes with a strong scenario editor, so eventually they'll be out there, but right now it's a bit thin. Design of new scenarios was apparently not a priority as the worked to get AE shipped. There are some starting to go up in the Matrix user forums.

And Tsunami and I are finding that in Guadalcanal, it's hard for the Japanese side to win....American B-17 and B-24 bombers, and mediums as well, seem to dominate the scenario, whereas historically, they hardly played a role at that stage. This would be an easy fix, but it'll need to be fixed before I play this scenario again from the IJN side!
