RE: EP '14 mechanics/balance
Kudos Ed, for the additional research. It's amazing how many details can be found if you devote the time. That's one of the points I want to make for all - the huge amount of research that has to be done to make any of the titles. Ed is a master at it and he makes it even harder by picking topics that are generally not mainstream.
The other point is this kind of research is not quick. You can't just type 'Koenigsberg's defences' into a web browser and have the answer available. As Ed mentioned it took 6 hours to get the required information and that's a big hunk of time that the average war game designer has in any week.
I think it's also compliments to John Tiller that the same basic system can cover so many historical periods and still feel appropriately differentiated. The FWWC feels completely different to PzC yet it's essentially the same (tweaked) engine. It is still handling the test of time.
