Yes to a new version of SPWAW

[defenseman]

WARNING!!! This post is somewhat LONG!

First and foremost, a salute for a GREAT game, SPWAW. It will NOT soon leave my hard drive.

Next, I too would like to see a modern version of SPWAW, but I would like to see the timescape sacrificed in lieu of accuracy. Meaning this: I'd much rather have a more accurate game, including ALL the units, with a short time period covered, than a less accurate game covering a larger time period.

Is there a way to make the game modular? Say, use the same game engine and just add unit and scenario modules. Periodic updates to the game engine of course, to accommodate new breakthroughs in hardware developement.

But this time, you guys need to make MONEY on the darn game! I would GLADLY pay a base price of, for example, $30 for the basic game and one module then say $10 to $15 for new modules as they come out.

I do have some suggestions though. Please try to include some sort of basic email service in the game that would AUTOMAGICALLY send attach all 3 game files with the email. Barring this, DO WHATEVER YOU HAVE TO DO to make only ONE FILE to be transferred.
Last, please include some way to "keep score" between PBEM players. I'm sure a lot of us play for bragging rights and most often, players of equal ability need to "know" who really won, even if it's only by a few points.

Keep up the good work gents! Anxiously awaiting the next SP installment from you!

I think you will find our newer PBEM and other features (Still hush-hush at this point ) the solution to these problems. You will be pleasantly surprised.

The details are working out better than we expected

Yes, it can't be free forever, and in fact, it does cost money to do these things. So far this is a bullet we are biting, but we will share the taste of lead with you fine folks soon.

WB, just tell me where to send the check. In fact, I'll probably buy two.
