Coming from AE where everything revolves around naval actions, I of course did not consider the actions you listed as being included in naval actions. Which as you point out clearly should be.

So you are correct in that there a lot of naval actions outside of what is typically not seen in AE that would be of critical importance in the ETO.

And through our discussion, we have come to an agreement [:)] in that we both want a naval system that works well for the ETO but not at the AE level. I guess that means I lost since I agreed with you first [:(] ?

If it were not for the Ugly Sisters I'd not be here - my grandmother's first fiancé was lost on the Glorious. His replacement (my grandfather) was RN in TF 'O' on D-Day.

It's really interesting to watch the discussions on WitW as it brings the fanbase of WitP and WitE closer - both games I love. But remember one is a land centric 7 day IGOUGO and the other a naval centric daily WEGO. They are still very different games.

Obviously for WitE/WitW we have yet to tackle the naval bit and I truly have not a clue on the future naval construct. Were I an objective observer I would comment that a game with individual pilots and not named capital ships would seem odd. GG, JB and PZ are genii and what they create will be fantastic so I'm with them all the way no matter what they choose.

90% of all naval systems in the ETO seems to just be more of an afterthought versus anything that could model the diversity of operations from the Med to the Artic Circle. It is more like "Oh. There were ships in the war in the ETO. We should include some, through some code together too. We don't need to spend much time on this since other than subs not much was going on for most of the war." [:'(]

So if the team can come up with anything close to the war the air war is represented in the game, then I will be very happy [:)]
