RE: Now, for your reading pleasure
In reference to Huib's post and PzC brought to mind Panzer Corps and Panzer General.
The guy that made PC made a freeware version of PG for his own enjoyment and to share with fans of PG. Of course there were things about PG that he didn't like and he changed them in his version. It caught the eye of Slitherine and they approached him about a commercial version. I don't play the game but when there was news and chatter about the game I read some of the forum posts. A lot of PG fans had there likes and dislikes for the original PG. From this discussion came the final version of PC.
My point to all of this is that we don't know what is possible with the current JTCS engine. We don't know what John Tiller has planned for his Panzer Battles game. We can hope that someone is listening and one of the above is better than what we have. What we can wish for is that someone out there surprises us with a home made clone that does everything that everybody wants.
