What if we had a Combat Campaign using a map of the world (with hexes), where each player took command of a country and bought their own forces from the WinSPWW2 editor. There would be no senior commanders unless players wanted to "Team up" using a single nation (possibly used with the larger nations) such as Russia, German the US or British Commonwealth to divide up the workload.
Each Turn would equal 1 month of game time and that date would be used for determining availability of equipment/units that can be purchased via the Editor.
Each "nation" would get a set # of points to start based on Operational Victory Hexes such as major cities, ports and airbases. Each of these "hexes" would be worth points, so each turn you are awarded points for the ones you owned for purchasing replacements/reinforcements. Here is a breakdown of how the points could be used to "buy" equipment;
Players would probably need to have the CD version to make use of the extra Pbem slots slots needed (and maybe the tournament file feature).
Another major obstacle though would be setting up secure forums for each Nation or "Allied" groups of nations. :nuts:

- City Points - Can be used to purchase anything except those items listed below (anything available due to the date that is).
- Airbase Points - Can only be used to purchase aircraft.
- Port Points - Can only be used to purchase naval equipment (barges, boats, naval guns). I would also implement a special aircraft carrier unit option. There may be a way to include actual naval battles with another program I have where I would let the AI play the fighting out.
