WOW!
First time I have ever played this game - just went through the tutorials for the first time - and what a heart pounding experience for an old board wargamer! This system is fantastic. Put me down to buy Conquest of the Agean the minute it's available.

Welcome designer1.

Sometimes we say on this forum that "old board wargamer" are difficult to convert to this system because of the conceptual differences between HttR and "good old wargames" : no hex, no turn, no phase.
Glad to hear you like the game.

I can appreciate the difficulty. However, to me, this is much more like the kind of system I always dreamed of but could never find or acheive in board game designs.

Have your design/development team ever considered with that a change of ground/time scale this type of game engine would be wonderfully applicable to Napoelonic operational level simulations?

Efforts are afoot to bring the engine into the modern era; Vietnam first. At the moment, there are no plans to enhance it to simulate conflicts before WWII.
