Losts of those around, Pacific theater or Even a Global war would be my preference

Pacific game really requires a very different mindset as distances are vast and intel (except for USA code breaking) poor. Lots of mistakes were made by both sides during WWII due to faulty Intel and bad weather.


I for one want to see a SCIII Global so that the USA, Russia, and to a lesser extent the other Allies have to make global choices, just like WWII.

I just don't care for the naval system as a whole. In a Pacific based game the naval game is primary instead of secondary as it is in a European theatre game.

I enjoyed the global game very much and hope its the next venture but agree about the naval component. Hopefully there would be some major improvements. The amphib component also needs some major improvements. Large armies (tanks) using Long Range amphib with naval cruise needs to go.

Upgrading should be an inherent improvement to the unit, like the way its done in Panzer Corps. You get new equipment and it will always be a part of the unit dynamics from the time of implementation.


Then comes the attachments. Those are the things that can be added or removed from the unit's combat traits at the players whim.
