This game has the best game engine I have seen in a while for the level of play it aims for, but it is not WiF (which is taking years to develop even with a great developer and major input from the WiF community).

I guess the other option is modding the game. It is so new that I haven't bothered to check whether anyone has started putting their own touches on the game.

Usually I hate Rambo but here I admit he's rather on spot - not in the manners though.
I don't want a strategic WW2 game to get lost in details such as the effect of rains and clouds in W Europe - BTW guys I live in France and storms are really really rare !
SC2 has a richer game design but is just plain ugly, the map is too small and the squares are really a dumb idea ...Never liked HoI games, a mm nightmare and AI is non-existant.
CEAW has good looks and a good feel also, it's fun and not that far off history. Just fix the CVs, review Air-to-ships combat values, lift the "historical" fixed war entry dates  and it'll be ok. Maybe also weather "events" can be scripted to have Russian winter not only in 41 but potentially each year ? In ol'AH 3R game the Russian winter was the next winter after Axis DoW, it was abused also with "dummy DoW" just to let the winter pass !

So far we have made 17 changes in the new patch and lots of more in works before the patch is complete. Alot of the changes are from influence and ideas by players. We ARE trying to hint on what things are likely to be changed and can be changed due to game engine design and think it is more helpful than just being silence and promise everything.

Winter event occurs EVERY year once USSR join so no dummies there
If you invade them in 1941 you will get winter in 1941, 1942, 1943, 1944....
The CV's are under investigation.
War entries are fixed for next patch so they randomly vary and you can set them in editor also if you want a country to join in 1916 doing a WW1 scenario

@Yohan.
1) Under investigation
2) Oil Fields will generate more in next patch
3) Vypuero is making the scenarios, should hear with him
4) Vypuero is making the scenarios, should hear with him
5) Not likely for next patch

Yohan there is no historic justification to either increase German manpower or lower Italian manpower - I verified the figures based on the armed forces of both countries and they are accurate.
