Perfection ! (How I achieved the impossible!)
 
First, I thank the Camo team for their extraordinary effort and dedication of valuable time to WinSPWW2 and WinSPMBT.

And now to my secret of how I personally achieved perfection with this game when such a goal is elusive.

I'm no genius, but after much thought, I quickly realized what was necessary to achieve 'Perfection'.

First...

I had to model:
1. a finite number of units
2. a finite number of 'forces' (country, regional, etc)
3. a finite but rather large number of factors affecting each unit and force.
4. a finite but huge number of objects within the real world

.... and so on.

After considering an amazing number of steps necessary to achieve my goal, I determined this would drive a sane person crazy.

In reality, I decided the Camo team has done a superb job.

Accept what they can and are willing to do. It is absolutely impossible to model the real world in a game.

Well considered suggestions have value. Arguing minute insignificant details has no value and adds nothing.

For WinSPWW2 and WinSPMBT, the Camo team is God.

FYI

I am not a member of the Camo team nor do I have any direct or indirect relationship with them.

You make a good point bro.
There have been near ten years of work taking this game from the point that SSI left it and handed over the code.
Don and Andy have taken the platform about as far as is possible, IMHO, and even when they say that they cannot do something, they give it a try and make bloody sure they cannot.
I am lucky enough to have helped recently with some of the playtesting and know how much effort has gone into their work.
There are always complaints and arguments as to what could be improved and what is or is not correct...as far as I am concerned, it is my favorite game and will be for a long time to come.
Playing these games against humans is brilliant fun and I am a total addict.
Visit The Blitz to find PBEM players, the worst of them will make the AI look like your granny is in command :-)

Cheers again to the guys for their awesome work.
HURRAH!!!
SGT
