Amen to that.
On a sidenote, personally I prefer the modern setting, from the Vietnam time onward - I'm just not into WW2. So, yep I like CMSF, I prefer Dangerous Waters over SH3 (or SH4 for that matter), I don't play CFS3 but have F4AF and Janes FA-18 installed.
The books are written on WW2 ... lets do some lessons learned and carry on. Besides, each new conflict has its own problems with which to deal.
