(negotiable)

Mechanics
1. WinSPWW2 - CD version 3.5
2. Slot 007
3. Points: 2000 core force

Setting
6. PBEM Campaign: German vs. British
7. Campaign from: July 1943, to Oct 1944 (Sicily, Italy, France, Holland)

10. Map: generated or custom maps, approx. sizes: 140x120
11. Visibility: 15-30 (No dust trails)
12. V-hexes customized to more realistic terrain/building objectives (subject to approval)
