RE: First World War Campaigns: FRANCE 1914
In regards to the OOB editor, one more thing to say to hopefully clear up the matter (since I might have made it seem like there would not be one in future titles until the whole series is concluded):
FWIW, I did not mean to imply that there would NEVER be an OOB editor in the whole series before the last title is covered -- just that there isn't one for THIS title nor for future West Front titles until the last title *on the Western Front* is published (since the OOB is locked in them for the reasons I described above). I know it isn't popular, but it just doesn't make much sense from a development point of view.
In regards to *non Western Front* titles in the series, those future titles that cover places where this is not an issue *might* have an OOB editor included in them to allow people to do whatever they want, but that will be taken on a case by case basis. I just don't want to give the impression that there will NEVER be an OOB editor available in this series.
That is about all I will say about that; this is something that will be determined as the series progresses and it is pointless to speculate about it at this point as there could be technical issues that only John is aware of. Again, it will not be a popular decision with some out there but hopefully the more rational amongst us out there will understand the reason for this decision. :)
