Try playing as the Japanese and every bomb and torpedo misses at pearl harbor..... nothing sunk.... you're about to get buttf***** by the U.S. for bombing manilla!

That is a bit weird and that would definitely stand out.

Wow  :o, in all my years playing WITP and then WITP AE, I've never seen that! I have seen the Japanese stick around for 3 or 4 day and wipe out almost every ship in Peal Harbor. Each time you start a new game it picks one of several AI scripts, one of them maybe bugged! Beside the official patches, some of the developers released un-officical updates to scenarios and AI scripts, you may want to ask where to find the latest on the Matrix forums.

its cool, im 'retired' now - fortunately my opponent that day gave me a restart - something to do with the KB arriving in the wrong sector and bad weather

  I used to ignore Pearl Harbor and try to kill the USN Carriers and Force Z for a bang-up start.  I was so bad as the Japs, but I had a great time playing them.  Needless to say, my little Empire used to get wrecked by April 1942 or so.  The guy I played already used a Japanese name (even as the Allies) and so I became MengJiao (or MengCiao) -- the more Late-Tang Poet Jap person (and a real loser).

Playing Japan in WITP-AE is not for the faint of heart! It always took me 5-7days just to do the first turn, assigning invasion forces/troops, moving engineers to buildup forward bases, then all the re-supply convoys, re-organized production & pilot training. Trying to grab everything everywhere I could before the allied buildup. Early carrier battles favor the Japanese due to poor allied aircraft and lower experience, knocking out 2-3 US carriers can really help Japan last well into early 1944.

The key to playing allies is to hold on to part of Java, if you can get more troops there and then build up an airbase and sub resupply base, allied bombers can then bomb the captured oil/resources and spotting for subs to destroy transports trying to bring resources back to Japan.

There really isn't any other game I've played that let's you fight a war covering over half the world at this level of detail!

So then, is there a Pacific War game out there that doesn't track every boot and shell?

What is the best Pacific War computer game available that's not a monster to try to play?

Good Hunting.

   It's a fascinating game, but I no longer have time for it.
