Allow me to start by saying that I am a huge fan of COG and will unquestionably purchase COG:EE. Winston Churchill, in his role as a historian, when describing the Seven Year's War/French and Indian War (in Europe and N. America respectively) described it as the actual First World War as it was fought world-wide. This would make the Napoleonic wars the Second World War, The 1914-18 War the Third WW and etc. In the First World War the tiny powers of England, Prussia and Hanover beat everyone else and resulted in massive world-historical changes. The COG engine seems to be actually a pretty good fit to that war/era. I do not believe there are any current strategic-historical simulations of the 7 Year's War. There are a few tactical studies, of course. Are there any plans to adapt the updated engine to the "Real" WWI?

We've certainly discussed it, but it will not be one of our releases for 2008 or 2009. Beyond that, it's certainly possible, though I can't make any promises.
