Conditionally, yes. That would be dependent on the changes. Just maps, probably not.

I do like the idea of a Kickstarter.


I agree.

Also with a caveat: that the changes suggested to gameplay (not maps and artwork) not break existing gameplay. To ensure this, much testing and verification of stand-alone functionality will have to be performed before I'd agree to pay for it.

Gary has said he'd never attempt it again. It was enough this last time. So there will not be another WitP from Gary at least. As to enhancements?????


Rats!

Playing devil's advocate for a minute... what about a new War in the Atlantic game? Slightly smaller scale map-wise. Not sure if it has ever been given the strategic treatment at the level of WITP.

That would be a game I could see myself spending a chunk of change on for sure.

War In The Mediterranean would be even more interesting, as combined ops were important there.


Yes. This would be an excellent port for the WiTP:AE engine.

It was moved from a sub-forum for greater visibility.

But I don't expect any sort of re-do of this engine. I think the next will be a new version built from the ground up.

Really? Was that from an interview or something? Would like to read it if so!

I clearly remember reading this too. I can't remember where though.

Viewed from an historic perspective, certain terrain, Burma, Papua New Guinea inland, North Pacific, is too well suited for large scale military operations. Maybe something can be done, increased wear and tear, disruption, fatigue, supply loss.



A large-scale project is out of the question probably, but if it would be done, a game with current level of details on a 3D triangular globe called world war 2 would be nice.

Biggest difficulties is the scale, it needs to be 20nm at least, the fact that units/aircraft do not consume fuel so without an hack like putting HI in North Africa there isn't much reason to send fuel there, Axis ships are impossible to retire, and there isn't a "trade account" for Allied ship losses, there are allied ships that enter and get out of Med several times and there is no way to deal with it without house rules.

This. Plus there is always room for improvement in the AI department. Playerbase is still there and large enough

But, the major question is, just who requested this? Seems to this old fart that this has been requested many multitude of times, and to no avail.
