I feel ashamed...

[Wodin]

Oh well what a shame but I knew WitE and it's engine was going to be there main wargame preoccupation.

I knew someone would recommend PBEM. As with SB I'm sure the game truly shines playing this way and I played SB PBEM and could never go back to playing the AI, which sort of backfired as I don't like being committed to playing a game (must have commitment issues) so I'd never go PBEM again as I don't want to let anyone down and I don't want to resent having to play the game when I'm not in the mood. So now I never play SB! I don't want that to be the case with WinSPWW2 so the AI it will be.

Heh, welcome to the fold. WinSPWW2 is the best squad level turn based war game that there is. You think that campaign is fun...give PBEM a try. PBEM with WinSPWW2 is a gem, from troop purchase to the last turn (purchasing forces is one of my favorite parts).

As for Grigsby or 2x3 going back to tactical games....I emailed Joel a year or so a ago and here is an excerpt:

"There aren't any plans to do a new tactical game anytime soon. We'd love to do it, and maybe down the road we'll do it again, but not for awhile, sorry."

They have plans to expand out using the WitE engine...that can keep them busy for many years...
