Hi all
Firstly, I should say that having played the demo of SC I think its not really my cup of tea. I've always been more into realistic simulations (one of the many reasons why I like CM so much) and the many compromises SC makes at the expense of realism to keep the game simple just get on my nerves too much. I suppose I was hoping for something closer to Third Reich.
Now I realise that there are clearly lots of you out there who see things quite differently, valuing the simplicity, playability and speed of SC very hightly. My question is - how many of you would buy a more serious, realistic strategic sim of WWII if it were available? I'm not talking of SC with tweaked rules for production, etc btw. I'd also be interested to hear what sort of features would be important to such a sim.
To those about to burn me at the stake for such 'heresy', please don't take this as a criticism of SC - its obvious that it has struck a chord with a sizeable number of gamers. I'd just like to know if this group (or maybe a different set) would like a game on the same scale but with a different emphasis.
