Hit return too soon lol.

Ok, the problem, I think, is the data for non-WWII major powers. Japan, USSR, UK, etc. are easy compared to Bolivia, Siam, and so on.

Second issue--WWII, unlike later periods, was pretty much an infantry war (meaning foot infantry). However, SR basically goes all out for tech (air, ships, tanks) but only has a couple of infantry types. Big difference, effectiveness-wise, between a German or US infantryman in 1944-45 and a Paraguayan rifleman in the same period (weapons, doctrine, training, etc.). So, how would we reflect that? And given that most players would want to start in 1939 (or 1936 or whatever) and keep on going after the war leads to other issues--such as how the WWII specific units/techs/etc impact the overall play of the campaign game.

I can easily do the major powers (within reason). The best way to do this, sort of like when I was working mods for Victoria I, is to get a gang of folks together and spread the wealth...

You all might want to enlist the modders of the WWII for SR2020.
They may have alot of info to share.

Honestly not that worried about it.. most people give up after they realize how much research would be needed. (notice that mod was never completed)
I offered to do the actual modding if other people do the research and supply the data points.. and so far no one has. I don't have the time or the stomach to do the research for this mod.

Not my first rodeo, so I know what to expect

However, Hundane does make a point that some of the ground work has already been done by the SR2020 modders. Maybe we could make a few shortcuts.

Question is, and this just occurred to me, is whether CW will do it or not--given the whole Red/Blue system that drives CB, alliances, et al.

Given that WWII was Axis vs Allies thats not an issue. Germany is the warsaw leader.. U.S. or U.K etc is the NATO leader. Not to mention we can rely on Scripted events in a historical scenario.(I could rely on scripted events for any scenario but its easier to do when history has already written the events for you)
