Assuming you are resisting the online-driven tendency of flight sims to always progress further forward along the time line to faster and heavier armed it does seem a logical addon.

Yea maybe...their is about a year between the end of Spain and the start of France. But their is a very different "aeroplane set" between the two conflicts, and I wouldn't have thought of connecting the Spanish event and the battle for France. I see your point...

By telling, battle of france/spain this is because there were plane models in the two camps which can fight without really big advantages to one of those . (D520/Bf109E1 ; Bf109B/I-16 etc...)

I like so much the Finnish air force in the continuation war. And too the variety of planes of different countries (england, russia, holand, france, usa, italy, ). very nice
i am more interesting in a sequel of STORM OF WAR called CONTINUATION WAR 1941-1942 in some future without german Help (not 1943-1944)

I prefer it to be chronological from 1939, Spain could be interesting but only as a later 'interest' add-on. That means SoW:BoB may not contain the Battle for France but we can create those ourselves, assuming the map covers to some way beyond the german border.

I voted for North Africa/Middle East

Here's an interesting site:
http://www.worldwar-2.net/timelines/...-war-index.htm

1939
1. Invasion of Holland, Belgium and Luxembourg, Battle for France. In BoB?? If not we could build these ourselves (does BoB map allow this?).
2. Russo-Finnish conflict begins (needs scandinavian map)
1940
3. BoB (tick)
4. Beginning of real Air war against Germany: does BoB map allow for this?
5. Conclusion of Russo-Finnish conflict (needs scandinavian map)
6. Germany invades Denmark and Norway (needs scandinavian map or is it covered by BoB?)
7. Britain enters then later leaves Norway (needs scandinavian map or is it covered by BoB?)
8. S.E.Asia: Japan occupies Singapore, British troops withdrawn from Shanghai and North China. (not a lot of air war going on, needs SE Asia map)
9. Italy attacks Malta and Greece (needs a Med Map)
10. Taranto (needs a Med map)
11. Italy invades Egypt from Libya (needs a Med map)
12. Pacific Islands (not much happening)
13. Eastern Europe Russia invades Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia etc (requires Eastern Map)

More than enough for the next edition: SoW 1940 (the rest)
Seems to be more 1940 Air War around the Med.
In terms of campaigns, presumably these can only currently be created for the BoB map?

the continuation war is certainly interesting, though I fear that the conflict itself is too unkown to the masses to be a big succes, I think focussing on the bigger conflict: Leningrad would do the job better and from there on there's lots of ways to expand it, do you see where I am getting to? Pick a bigger conflict to eventually make smaller conflicts possible= more pleased people

[Chivas]

Exactly. Oleg and crew will concentrate on the large theaters, where the money is, and third parties will develop the other less well known theaters. It would have been an incredibly bad business decision for the developer to start with the France or Poland.

[Flanker35M]

S!

With the tools and information to be released after SoW is out will for sure help 3rd party to create new content within the limits given. I would be interested in the early war more than late war. Spain, France, Poland etc. are less modelled and also Mediterranean theatre. Late war can wait IMO

[rollnloop]

If BoF is done i'll buy 5 copies, and get my squad to buy more multiples !

[GOZR]

rollnloop: True LOL..

[Mysticpuma]

Sorry, I just want to see shiny metal P-47's, P-38's, P-51,s, B-17's and B-24's........maybe they could be in the first add-on?

Okay, I know wont, but I really just can't wait to see these aircraft and the higher-resolution skin-kits to go with them....shiny metal!!!!! Cool!

I would ask though, for ALL, models skin-kits, please no Mirrored areas as we (skinners) all know how useless it was to skin the P-38 as numbers would be reversed on opposite sides of the aircraft!

Cheers, MP
