But, now that you got everyones titles listed - why don't you REDO the POLL
This time however, include with the Title the Map size in total hexes - area determined from length x width in hexes and perhaps the Campaign Length allowing for ten turns per day.
Example
Poland '39 300,000 hexes 300 turns
This way people could tell if the title really held the appeal they first thought it might.
...and I know Poland '39 wasn't on the list. I chose it intentionaly as I didn't want to dis or pick on any one idea. But just so everyone keeps an eye on the SCALE - this "Poland 39" would cover THREE TIMES the area and be THREE TIMES as long as the Kursk 43 FULL CAMPAIGN Game. And the Poles got hammered so do it really hold appeal?
With this added info peopl could make informed votes and perhaps separate what is within the realm of possibly. Again - I don't want to pick on any one title here but one suggestion in the list involved a country that is ~2000 km long and made up of largely uninhabited wilderness land.
I really encourage all to have a serious look at the titles but NOT without considering size. What I mean is this for example - Barbarrossa '41 would be crazy. But "Army Group Center '41" might not be. Here again I am just picking names out of a hat here and not selecting anything from the list that was proposed.
..... so why not redo the Poll .... if your really serious about this poll idea.

I don't know much about making these games. Which is the most difficult (time consming) part, the map, the OOB or finding the correct situation (battle) that fits the game engine?
