RE: Maybe something to think about (WDS or another publisher?)
I don't recall ever talking about modding an existing system. I did speak of a new system possibly based on the Avalon Hill/MMP board game system that might be a good starting point, and gave a few ideas for how that might be changed, but that's it.
I also don't believe that anything WDS currently has could or should be adapted (modded). This idea seems to call for something entirely new. The only thing I can think of that might fill the bill is the HPS Marching Eagles engine, but changed for hex by hex instead of area movement.
Also, I don't believe this is anything that WDS could tackle right now. They appear to have a pretty full schedule, and the development team can only cover so much. I might be wrong (only WDS would know for sure), but I think somebody like HPS or another publisher might be better suited or have the time. Regardless, the interest and audience has to be there. We are talking about $, and that's the bottom line for all things.
My whole intent is/was to air some ideas, see if there might be some interest among other Blitz Members, and hope that a publisher or developer (I'm neither!) passing through might give this some thought.
