This idea that unless a wargame focuses on WWII, or at least gives WWII equal time, it isn't worthy or isn't viable or something seems rather odd. It's even odder that some folks seem to take this lack of focus on WWII as a personal affront....
Who says that? The fact is the money and sales are with WW2..that wouldn't be disputed by Slitherine or any developer. No one is taking affront that this is a modern game..what I take affront to is people telling the developers NOT to do a WW2 game. I have no interest in many modern conflicts but I wouldn't tell the developers with a "Please don't do blah blah blah" as I know other wargamers do want to see wargames cover blah blah blah theater\war.
The only reason those who want to see a WW2 version at SOME point are speaking out is because of the posts by players who are telling the Dev's not to do a WW2 game. The wargamers who want to see a WW2 version haven't implied other wars wouldn't be as good or the Dev;s should do a WW2 version right this minute or anything like that. Your pointing the finger at the wrong people here.
