The person may be an innocent gamer just being curious, but having graduated from some serious State Department schools in the seventies, I would rather be safe than sorry...

PM from atheory: Consulting for wargame

Consulting for wargame
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hello,

I contact you with the hope you can spare an hour or two for me to pick your brain. I currently have an ambitious project ongoing in the development of a ww2 game. WitP is in part a large inspiration for it. My small but growing team revolves around 3 programmers and 2 artists. You are active in the modding community and I find modders tend to have an enhanced perspective on mechanics.

What I'm looking for is some insight, any, that you may have on naval or air combat mechanics. They don't have to specifically pertain to WitP but rather your own perspective if you were creating the combat mechanics from scratch.

My goal is to accumulate enough information to guide the development of such mechanics in a manner that can be both engaging and realistic for the players.

I thank you for time and consideration

Sincerely
Josh J
Tattered Flag Studios

Thank you for the clarification.
If I could remember any past contact with you, it would have helped.
It seemed an attempt to learn details of the game itself, (in spite of your comments) and the folks at matrix have earned loyalties amongst it's long time members.

Heck...I've been with them since they first gave us a game for FREE in a magazine which I acquired at a now defunct grocery chain.

If you still seek info per your request, just post it here in the forums and you will get many good responses...Hope to see your comments in future.
