Operational level games of the Wars of Italian and German Unifications - 1859 - 1871.

How about something along the lines of a turn-based version of the Europa Universalis games??

JDC, can we marry your operational game to my tactical game? Sounds like a winner to me. [img]/threads/images/Graemlins/icon44.gif[/img]

I want to see someone actually make Up Front (the card game from AH) into a game I can play online in the same way I can play Magic the Gathering (also a card game).

I want someone to stop explaining to me "oh that's owned by Hasbro", or "they sold the digital rights to so and so".

I don't give a darn who owns the game, I want to play it.
If it means you go buy it, then for crying out loud go buy it.
You honestly think they will refuse to sell it if you offer them good money?

Up front is a darn good game, suffering only one flaw, it went out when AH died (AH by the way died, being a label doesn't make you a company).

I own the board game, whoop dee doo. I want to play it against anyone too. And that means offering me an electronic option.
And no, it doesn't always have to be a Vassal game module.
It's a card game eh, I want to be able to play cards at card game speeds ideally.

Mnemonic games is trying to create their interpretation of this experience. Not sure what their success is to date (haven't checked recently).
If they can get their idea out the door, I probably could settle for their design.

But that's what I want.

The market is already stuffed to the gills with games representing WW2 at every scale and every mode I can think of.
Accept cards.

I would like to see the Age of Rifles game made to be compatible with windows XP. I hate that XP you cant play the old DOS base games i still have all the SSI Classics Hats off to winSPMBT

Merchant Prince III... the second one was basically a slightly graphically souped-up version of the first, but who can resist a game where you can hire someone to assassinate the Pope?

Has Car Wars been mentioned? Track down whoever has the rights or maybe someone doing an open source version and pull them in here. Since I stopped working here I stopped roaming the SourceForge.net directories altho Im beginning to wish I had continued to direct devs here just for the market

I mentioned the old box game of Magic Realm didnt I? Fantastic game but too long to setup and tear down. I always thought it felt like a pre-PC effort to do things that a computerized version would sail thru

Car Wars would be great! I've fiddled around a bit now and again to make a vehicle design program. Maybe I should get back to that, but maybe start with the basic game subset and be expandable rather than try to tackle everything at once.

The other thing that I would like to see is a computerization of Vietnam: 1965-1975. Make it have a good AI and MP ability (perhaps a PBemail like Dom II) and I'd buy it. I enjoyed being able to pick units, getting the ANZAC and RoK forces for free, the ARVN politics (who can't resist a good coup in a wargame?) - I'm getting all excited here now.
