I'd expect cWiF will have moddable scenario files. That's pretty standard these days. I'm more concerned about how the units will be portrayed. Why show a stack of square cardboard counters on a screen? Remember how computer Axis & Allies had little 3D icons for units (yes... I once played A&A... sob... I was desperate!). I'd love to see 3D representations of units like that. I agree with Les to forget the animations, but it'd be great to move your "Hurricane" icon to intercept the enemy "ME-109" icon.

I also liked the HOI model where you could build up subunits (Divisions became Corps etc) and then just move the major unit. This makes sense where there is limited maneauver area like North Africa or invading Pacific Islands.

I just hope they don't expend to much effort on cute animations. Leave those in the silly wargames.[/QUOTE]

Hi Les, can you give an example of a cute animation in a wargame?
