I am not promoting a WWII version but I think it is entirely doable. There have already been games that had air, land, and sea in battles so why would it be imposable for CA to make one.

I don't think the current engine would do it but if they had set out to do it I don't see a problem.

But having said that, I hope they do several others before they go looking at something like that.
A WWI/WWII Total War would have to tackle several new issues, namely incorporating Air/off map indirect fire, strategic attack, presumably bigger battles, and a continuous front.

As for fantsay/Sci Fi, how about Star Trek Total War? Tie it in with the new movie release, and it already presents numerous factions to use for a campaign. The biggest problems would be handling the issue of 3D maps/combat, but given that many Star Trek/Star Wars games have used basically two dimensional campaign and combat maps, that would not seem a prohibitive problem.
