Here
are some thoughts, remarks, and questions for
which you may bring us some comments and answers.
It is our interest to get an appropriate feedback
from you but it is also to your benefit as we
will then be able to provide you with THE
GAMES you are waiting for... What
is important for you in a computer wargame ? An articificial
opponent (AI) to play alone against the computer
? A Play By EMail option (PBEM) to play
asynchronously against other human people ? A Net
option to play online against other human people
? Here at KWD we think that PBEM is a requisite,
Net option is a real plus, and AI is fine but
difficult to develop and always a poor opponent
that people tend to forget after a while...
What
are your favorite board games ? (ie: ASL, Hannibal,
etc.)
What
is your favorite period ? Ancient ? Napoleonic
? WW2 ? ...
What
is your prefered scale ? Strategic ?
Operational ? Tactical ? ...
What
is your prefered topic ? Land ? Naval ? Air ?
Fantasy ? ...
Do
you think a computer wargame shall propose much
more options and details than a traditional board
wargame ? (detailed rules on morale,
fatigue, supply, lots of steps for each unit,
very large and detailed maps, etc.). Generally, a
computer wargame propose at least one more step
of details over their board counterpart; for
example where a traditional wargame tends to
propose WW2 on the eastern front at the level of
corps and armies, a computer wargame will rather
propose a division level game, with lots of
details on supply, unit organization, some even
telling you that division <X> has 3756 men
left with 32 T34 and 7 BT7 !!! Here at KWD we
consider these overwhelming details are for
historians only, players being disturbed from
their initial main objectives; playability and
strategy... Games like "The Russian
Campaign" have been so successful in the
past, why should the computer version demonstrate
a map 6 times larger and the 100 units armies
become 2000 units armies ?
Please
rate the following games proposals :
- The
full Russo-German War at the Corps/Army
scale
- The
full War in the Pacific at the Corps/Army
scale
- The War
in the Desert at the Regiment/Division
scale
- An ASL
like game, that will fill and play like
ASL !
- A Roman
Empire strategic game (played by periods
/ scenarios)
- The
full World War I at a grand strategic
level
- The
full napoleonic wars at a grand strategic
level
- A game
of naval warfare with 2 levels,
operational and tactical
- A
wargaming system for playing your
favorite board game with PBEM and Net
options (like Aide de Camp but much
better !)
So, you've read all
