Looking for a game to replace WitP AE

[RevenGE]

My favorite game of all time is WitP AE. it's getting pretty old though and doesn't work well with MS10. Is there a game out there that will entertain me as much as WitP has?

[warspite1]

Matrix World In Flames. It has issues you need to be aware of but its an absolute stonker of a game.

[RevenGE]

That game is nearly as old as WitP! Does it work on Win10?

[warspite1]

Yes. I have Windows 10 and it works absolutely fine.

The new Operational Art of War IV has a full Pacific War scenario (41-45). You can view a game that was started but not finished in the AAR section of the game's forum (Pacific at War 1941-1945 v.3.63). And of course as an added bonus you get a game with multiple scenarios over many centuries.

The PAC War scenario does not currently have a computer opponent but I am suggesting it since World in Flames does not have any AI either so I am assuming that is not a problem.

I would say the strong point of World in Flames (for me) was the Eastern Front land battles. I personally found the naval and air routines to be pretty tedious.

On the positive side, there are so many phases that playing against yourself isn't an issue (for me) with WiF, whereas I don't think I would enjoy playing TOAW IV turn after turn against myself.

If your lifestyle includes enough time for WitP AE then CMANO is the game for you.

In 30 years I'll be 90. I really don't want to wait that long for a good game!

All I can think of besides "real boardgames" would be JTS Naval Campaigns...

I wish CMANO had a strategic/operational scope like WitP AE. I'd never leave my house again.

I'd like a WitP-AE 2 with much of the same features- WEGO 1-3 day turns, 40-50 mile hex map, etc. Overall, I love the scope of WitP, but the execution is an exercise in OCD micromanagement. Clean up and modernize the interface (less mouse clicking), automate some processes and streamline the logistics. Considering the forum traffic for WitP and WitP-AE as an indicator of popularity, I'm surprised Matrix hasn't made a "new and improved" WitP a priority project.

I coundn't agree more

Is there such a thing? I can only think of the first game Uncommon Valour.

I'm kind of surprised not many people have questioned it not working on Win 10. I don't play it much, but it seems just fine on my Win 10 machine.

There was a MS patch released not to long ago that screws up the monitor. Lot's of speculation as to the cause, but it is messing up a lot of people. Perhaps you don't have updates turned on?

[Gilmer]

I just did a check and it says my windows is up to date.

Maybe i need to play it more and see? I powered up WITPAE and it seemed fine. I use a HD TV 1080 for my monitor, might that be why I'm having no issues?
