While WW1 and 2 are interesting concepts for wargaming, the total war engine is really not suited to recreate that kind of combat at all! The series Close Combat is a great game in that respect though that infantry is not blocks of soldiers standing in line to die, but can take cover and hide in buildings, hedges, trenches etc. If they could implement the total war style camera control so you got a better sense of the height of things it would be even better. I guess there's nothing stopping CA from doing that but it wouldn't really be total war to me anymore...

I'd much rather see a game set before rome, or a game in the medieval time period with no continent restrictions. Why shouldn't we be able to do like the Mongols and invade another continent? Too historically incorrect? Is it any more historically correct when Scotland or Denmark conquers all of europe?

Cheers
