I want SB revamped

Give me multi level buildings. A new ammo feature (put an end to how an MG42 soon becomes a pea shooter in game etc), choose rate of fire, be wounded. Maybe enhance armour side of the game. Reinforcements and ammo restocks. Campaign feature including core units go throughout campaign. Awards issued etc end of campaign scenario\battle etc. Maybe manage issuing of weapons to individual soldier from historical selection. Enhance leader features. Enhance Comms.

All that done we'd have the perfect No1 2D top down turn based tactical wargame esp for WW2 era. I don't think the game worked well in modern era. Though revamped ammo and rof would improve that I'm certain.

That is Company of Heroes 3 wishlist! [;)]I'd like more operational WW'1 titles Dardanelles and Kars& Eastern front against Russians or Arabs combined campaign in a single game, if not sufficient battles for a game. Or seperate game.

David, for years I have been advocating the potential of this series. Oh please bring it to the East Front, I long for a serious, playable and fun game on the East. I have badgered Rich for years about this series. It has so much potential. Lord knows we need a sensible game on the East that does not involve counting every chicken coop and rusty jerry can east of Berlin.

Michael,

What can I say?

We have inherited a range of projects that are unfinished, still-born or otherwise. As you can see some substantial work was done in this series using the current scale. You can also see we have a full map of Europe (which looks much better with the recent graphical update).

There is no commitment to pick this up and complete it currently, but a lot of the building blocks are there already. I am with you, I had hardly touched this series previously, but it is a great little game system and much more playable with the lower counter density. We are even discussing doing a higher level series (probably corps level/monthly turns) using the same engine to allow a whole war in the East in an evening game (like AH's Third Reich).

More to come, but take this as we have stuff, just not a plan... yet!

I am looking forward to the Eastern Front version. Can the game engine handle the logistics aspect on the Eastern Front convincingly from your opinion/experience?

I agree with MichaelT that a game on this scale but less clutter than WitE2 is needed.

I would like to see one extra zoom level in these games plus some unit details on the counters in the 2 most zoomed in levels.

I do sincerely hope that somewhere in the pipeline there are titles simulating the great European conflicts of 1859, 1866, and 1870-71.
I know but a single title that covered this period, which - compared to the scale of the battles and their importance to the history of the continent, - makes this arguably the most neglected period in computer wargaming.
