Off topic Naval Games Chat...........

WRT WitP-AE, NOTHING stacks up against it. It is the most involved, complex game I've ever seen. It's not really a game, it's a commitment, possibly to an insane asylum.

Carriers at War is, by contrast, an evening of fun, but replayability was very low. Check the Matrix forum for this game, it is stone cold dead.

I'm intrigued by Midway--there is stuff there that you can't do in Carriers at War, like turn your ships into the wind to launch, and make sure their speed is correct. CaW abstracted too much of the detail like that I would have loved to see in a carrier game.
