I haven't done C++ since like 2003, except for some modding on Civilization 4. Email me when you guys switch to managed code (C#) and I'm all over it.

If I were to win the lottery, one of my first decisions is hire several people to aid in making this game before I'm a senior :)
Wargame, 05% of the time.
Play with Barbies 05% of the time.
Play with Legos 10% of the time.
Build models 20% of the time
Shopping 60% of the time.
Exlains why I buy em more than I play em.

I hope you have found someone for this position, because I have been desperately waiting for a "modernized" version since 1996. I wish there was a kickstarter or fundability option cause in the words of the Great Fry "Shut up and take my money"

We added an additional programmer to the team a few months ago and things are really pushing forwards. Too soon to give any real estimates on completion but we're making good progress!
