You played War in the Pacific? Did you finish? If so, you're the only guy I've met who's actually done it.

War in the Pacific is unplayable. Well, unfinishable. I met a group of gamers in Toronto that had the 3rd floor of a gaming shop completely taken over by tables and tables of maps (W.i.t.P.). They had been playing two nights a week for MONTHS. That was back in 197-something.

I imagine they are not finished even yet.

I've heard the horror stories. I'm looking to pick up a copy of The Pacific War (WitP, but playable), or East Wind Rain (WitP on ONE MAP!).

I know what you mean... my W. in the P. is still sitting on my shelf, unpunched. What a monster! :)

That reminds me of a Knights of the Dinner Table story where two of the characters had been playing a highly detailed World War One simulation in weekly all-night sessions. The game had run for longer than the war did, and no end was in sight.
