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

BTW, what's your favorite scenario on TOAW:COW?

I'm doing a port of the manual game Arabian Nightmare: Kuwait War to TOAW:COW. The map is mostly done--just need to add some urban locations and finish the last touches on the road net (heck, I did most of the Saudi road net when I drew in the Tapline Road).

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.

Actually, I participated in a group that is playing the game with stream-lined rules, the game is great, now that is. The game isn't over yet, but they are in the Spring of 1943.

Favorite scenario in TOAW? Perhaps Kursk, talk about a grinding slugfest. A lot of tension in that one. While it is hard for the Germans to win, as it should be, I've played it 3 times and it never ceases to capture my imagination. Korea '50-51 is probably the most entertaining though.
