Why can't they make hex games much bigger so true war planning and movements can go on,

I think you'll be surprised by Strategic Command. It has literally the best AI I've ever seen, making it a pretty unique experience. Hubert has studied tactics of human players and made the AI replicate it with impressive results. The way it handles the build up before D-Day, the convoy protection, winning the sea war, air war, troop build ups, masking its operations from the human player, and then hitting a landing all in one turn is better than I've seen any other game handle it. Its very hard to appreciate it till you see it so watch out for some lets play videos!

I have to say these hex wargames are a dime a dozen, while some stand out from others, most are just rehashes on what's been done time and time again. Hex games simply are not big enough either in my view, in the screenshot way above the English Channel is one hex wide, a single icon to take up an entire hex, what kind of strategy is that? There were hundreds of ships in that part. Why can't they make hex games much bigger so true war planning and movements can go on, this relative combat simulation in hexes is getting old. I hope they can pull off something innovative but another hex game does not excite me, I still own and have not played enough of the ones I already have, SC global conflict comes to mind for one.

- What I'd love to see is a grand hex game where unit movements and tactics can be fully utilized
- A full land/air/and sea invasion system include sub ops
- Fully functional supply system - I think War in the pacific does it best, not looking for that level of detail-
- New look to hex gaming, all the hex games now look alike, someone has to come up with something different. The maps are
too static and it puts off a potential audience who otherwise might get interested. Hex war gaming is about numbers, I get that but I want more. War in the Pacific was innovative often felt like it was pushing the hex game envelope. I want the map to change or be interesting all the time, an example of this might be instead of just displaying a city icon or unit icon you have a popup window that displays a video or picture that changes from turn to turn depending upon weather condition, damage, and so on when you click on it. A dynamic hex map that changes would be cool too and would be a first.
- Combat animation similar to war in the pacific, more immersion during combat
- I like what Decisive Campaigns did with the decisions and how they influence battle, something similar would be welcomed

I'd love to see someone take the strategic number game of hex war gaming and push it to the next level, it would certainly open these types of games up to a new level.
