WWI is doable and I beleive is not entirely dead.

The idea of pushing back the clock to mid to late 19th century - American civil war, Franco Prussian, Boer war etc. has been discussed. The consensus was that the current engine is not designed to properly handling battles of that time period - specifically command and control and unit fragility. So its not a lack of interest or will, its all been discussed before.

Please go ahead and post what you have done so far - you may have a new perspective.
