As far as I am concerned, it further elaborated on what you want in a game.

I'd be on board for a good computer version of Third Reich. I've owned the board game since I was 13 and only played it a handful of times, but really enjoyed it. I bought the old AH computer version when it came out, but it was so "user unfriendly" that I couldn't invest enough time and energy into it to get anywhere. A new version of it with an intuitive UI and decent AI would be very desirable.

Another dream game is likely to remain only a dream. That is a redone version of WitP:AE with an updated game engine and UI to make everything more easily manageable. It's already the best computer wargame of all time, but her roots in a 19 year old game engine are holding her back now. Sadly, GG has stated he won't do another version.

Computer Der Weltkrieg series

I used to play quite a lot of silent hunter 3 and I would like to see a game along similar lines but with surface raiders like Hipper and Graf Spee. With emphasis on realism, both graphics and gameplay.

I would also like a battle of the Atlantic and Mediterranean monster strategy game. Kind of WITE on water [:D]

Before writing, I prefer to learn the necessary technology and to think gameplay.
Jumping into writing is an error because you will rewrite and rewrite and ...

Yes! ...but will never happen.

Not quite what I meant. Write down what you want the game to do.

Do you want logistics in a North Afrikan campaign? How about the entire Med?

Then decide, is there an amount of supplies dumped somewhere? Will it be variable? If so, when and why? Is it separated into fuel, ammo, and/or fuel or just supplies? Will you have someone find barrels of fuel on a beach? Don't laugh, the Germans did just that. Or will you have to haul the supplies from the Italian mainland and/or Sicily? Then there is naval and air interception to either defend against or perform.

The same thing for all other aspects. No coding yet, just write it out in whatever language that you want to use that is readable. You would want to be verbose and not use shorthand because you might just forget exactly what you meant by that. Think of the 8.3 file format. You or someone else can do the coding later, probably LOTS of subroutines to bring together.

I would type more but a cat wants to type as well..+++++++++++++++++++++++++++[:@]

Then I agree. I was thinking writing code.
