So when playing monster TOAW like Directive 21 I frequently get ideas for the medium-long run and sometimes wish I could write them down. Now obviously its not much of a hassle to just bring up a notepad but I thought it wouldn't be such a bad, and I suppose fairly simple, feature to as a commander's diary of sorts, a tab where we can click and write notes (for example, send next Close air support reinforcement to the crimea). Its absolutely minor but I figure it would be a nice touch. Maybe it could be done over a diary graphic and in some harsh yet aristocratic font to simulate a Prussian generals caligraphy.

While I'm at it I have two other fairly simple requests: One would be an AAR as I always loved reading pre-release dev AARs and the second would be if there's any inkling of a ball park for the release date.

Not sure about adding a notepad but we'll see what the devs think of the idea.  You can play in windowed mode so it would be easy to use an out of game editor for your notes.  I do that now.

I'm sure we'll get an AAR between testers up at some point once we are into beta.  I believe the tentative release date Joel has mentioned is Q2 '10 but that is subject to change of course.

Very late Q2 2010, if things go well. [:)]

Another thing, how are supply depots handled in game? The germans captured an awful, awful lot of supplies from the soviets, and the soviets had terrible logistical problems due to most of their original supply dumps being in German hands.
