I note the Radar map shows a extended map of the European Theatre, what is the reason for such a large area to be covered including all the Russian Front, the entire North Africa area, Scandinavia. Pretty much all the geographic area required for a full War in Europe style game encompassing the entire war. Is this the intent to create War in Europe on a grand scale?

We built a map for all of Europe with the idea of building many products using this map. We haven't proofed all of the data for the rest of the map, and we still need to do some art improvements to complete the full map. The good news though is that it's there in an alpha state ready for us to use.

As a owner of Drang Nach Osten, Sealion, and other games in the Europa series. I tend to get misty eyed at the prospect of a complete 2nd World War game worth playing. Though I should be more compassionate about the poor developers and designers play testers and the quantities of blood sweat and tears needed to make such a project happen.

Good news indeed, I will keep my eyes peeled for future developments.

I too relish the idea of larger scale games. however, I would settle for just being able to create my own units, even if limited in quantity. I think the day I am able to build my own detailed units, lets just say there is one less item on my bucket list! (HOI series doesn't count for obvious reasons)
