That sounds pretty close to what people said about CNA.
My attention was grabbed by a different piece of glitter, GDW's Operation Crusader.  It was not quite so detailed or intensive, but it did take the club almost two months of gaming to reach a point where we could believe the brits were winning.
Looking  back on that, it was a great experience that brought out the tactical problems of both sides, specific to that month in time.

Hint: there is an optional rule that allows the brits to use their 40mm Bofors anti-aircraft guns against tanks, like the germans did with the 88.
The automatic Bofors burns through a ton of ammo, but they turned the armor of the Ariete division to confetti in no time.

It occurs to me that this game should be convertible to a PC game. A lot of the finicky under-the-hood things could be done automagically by fancy calculators prepared to look for, crunch, and adjust the data.

I'm sure Gary Grigsby is already on it.

Exactly my thought.

Although WitW may fill in until then!  :bd:

Why not? It worked out well for World in Flames :P
