how many games....
Just wondering how many WITP games people have actually completed. PBEM and against the AI?

RE: how many games....
Same here. Started a lot on allied and japanese side. Finished none. Never seen more of the game than beginning of '44.
RE: how many games....
Finished 1 each vs the AI.
Finished 1 scn 15 and one scn 8 in PBEM. Currently June 44 in my second scn 15.

RE: how many games....
Never finished a pbem. Never vinished a solo. Came close on my first game, but I was really just using it as a learning tool, so I didn't take anything too seriously.
RE: how many games....
I have the great benefit of some really stable and long-term opponents, currently playing 4 PBEMs. They are in March 43, July 43, February 44 and August 44, all as Jap. I'm hoping at least couple of these will go the distance although with AE looming it might be tough.

RE: how many games....
Never finished one against the AI (it really isn't smart enough to keep my interest), but my first PBEM (started 2 1/2 years ago) has reached June '44 and is going strong.

No you didn't! We ended on December 30, 1944! Wimp!

RE: how many games....
I've started zero games against the AI.
I've started three PBEM games:
1) As Allies vs. John 3rd: I "disappeared" after about three days of game time because I wasn't sure what I had gotten into or that I had the time to play. I wouldn't pick the game back up for more than a year.
2) As Allies vs. Miller: we went to August 10, 1944 and called it a game there.
3) As Allies vs. John 3rd: we went to December 30, 1944 and called it a game there.
John and Miller are as faithful as players can be. It would be horrible to play as the Allies, take a licking for a year, and then have your opponent disappear just as the game was getting interesting.

RE: how many games....
Finished 1 PBEM and ended the game on spring of 1946. 1 PBEM ended in summer of 1945.
Others didn't quite make it in the end. Never actually played the AI.

RE: how many games....
I've started handfuls against the AI, never finished the whole campaign. Never Japan, but have been them in the tutorial. Never PBEM game yet...

I am new. I have only started about 15 games so far. Does it actually go through 1943 ?

Yup! Started mucho. Finished zero! Usually the games fall to newmoditis!
Started two PBEM games - one crashed when I had heart surgery. Tried another one, got into it, and had a family tragedy compounded by surgically caused depression. I think I am afraid to try a third game - heaven alone knows what will happen. Besides that, with my schedule (or utter lack thereof) I may have to disappear for several days to a couple of weeks at a time with no notice at all.

RE: how many games....
Will finish my third game vs the AI in a few months. Yeah I know, pbem is the way to go. I'll get around to it sometime after AE hatches.
