The differance between CMx1 and "CM"x2.

RE: The differance between CMx1 and "CM"x2.
"Abstraction" and "1:1" don't go together.

The word they're looking for is "error." If the graphics are 1:1, and a bullet can pass through a solid object as if it's not there, then it's not an "abstraction" it's an "error" in the graphics. If it's not an error, then they are obviously not really 1:1 (a direct representation of what exists in the game context), they are an abstraction. Can't have it both ways.

Anyway, an RT tank/team/squad level game is going to flop as a 'serious' wargame. It will devolve into who discovers the gamiest ways to give orders and who is fastest on the keyboard. Hardly what wargamers are after.

Ironically WEGO *better* simulates a less than omnipotent commander, in that you're stuck with what you order for at least 60 seconds after you give the order.
