RE: The fantasy - if Battlefront returned to CM...
I enjoy very big battles. Several of my '5000 - point' games on the ladder are actually 7500-point games. I would be perfectly willing to forego the improved graphics if having them reduced the maximum possible size of a QB.
Would love to see DUKWs and LVTs. Not sure that airborne drops are worth the effort; actions in which paratroops landed within rifle range of the defenders were rare and generally disastrous for the paras, and simulation of most of the ones that were successful would require some 'defenders-asleep-or-CO-in-town-with-his-girlfriend' switch to make them work. No fun for human opponents. I would love to see some unit reorganization, with battalions never including off-map mortars, and some quite common units that are not now available appearing, such as US towed 3in AT batteries (11 battalions in ETO on 4 June 1944, along with the 19 battalions of M10), or the American 155mm M12; while it seems likely that the Hummel was at some point used as an assault gun, the accounts of the M12 being so employed are (in)famous.
