Anyone know what the status of this game is?  It was supposed to be

This is one of the most pointless games I have ever played.
I was excited about getting a campaign-level modern air game, where I
could experiment with creating the right mix of aircraft, weapons and
tactics. Instead I got a game that's so rigid that it's programming

Most computer wargames position themselves in a certain combat layer - a
game is either strategic, operational or tactical. Very few (in fact only
the Total War games come to mind) have a mix of strategic and tactical.
The same goes for boardgames, they're designed to be played by ...

In a couple of the scenarios I've played, it seems likely that the
scenario designer intended that I would return my aircraft to base, re-
arm, and send in a second wave of strikes.  I did this, got additional
strikes in, pocketed the victory points.

No doubt the Nazi's had biologicals, why didn't Hitler use them, when he
realized he was doomed ?
He destroyed even his own country with the scorched earth policy, seems

Being terminally curious I did exactly that and was a bit surprised by

anybody else think this patch ruined the game . it was almost a great game
before but after this upgrade it sucks .

Most wargames offer a bunch of scenario's often bundled in a "campaign"
system.
What would you guys think is a good campaign system ? and what are the
requirements ? forward propagation of losses ?, binary trees with alternate
