Glenn: re WSF

[Glenn Saunders]

Krak - I don't know how to respond to this other than to say that WSF follows much of the same format as we did with TFB - there were changes to the engine as explained in the changes.txt file and these will be part of TFB after an update.

TFB FWIW does contain replacements - they are used in the Norway Scn but I am not sure what you mean by "Readiness and recovery rates" but it sounds like the engine can't do that.

As for an Eastern Front version of the game, I can only say we do not comment of games which may be in the works - now obviously at some point there will be an Eastern Front Game - not sure whether it will be all in one game Barbarossa to Berlin or in more than one title.

That said, for now, after you have WSF, if you feel there is a feature you need to create a North Africa 40-43 Scn that isn't in the game - and we can figure out a way that this could be built, then by all means drop me a line and if we see what we can do to build it. We certainly will look favourably on adding something to the engine to assist with longer Campiagns - especially if it is a feature we can use moving forward into the Eastern Front at some future point in time.

You have to figure that periods of known inactivity could be built into a new feature, the problem as I see it is being able to dymamically do these on the fly where player decide to Skip X number of turns - and then how do we handle the activity that would happen during these time warps.

Anyway - the forum is not teh place to design this as it is often really easy to come up with something that looks easy but isn't when it comes to the programming.

...but rest assure - John Tiller is committed to the Game and teh game engine and if there is something that wil help it than we are interested.
