Oh, I agree.  You have a trade off between elegance and detail.
FT, as I said, essentially has two major components: ships and
fighters.  DS2 has artillery, armor, infantry, aircraft, and
ships.	In to adequately simulate it, you have to have more
detail--therefore less elegance.

Simple, fast-play games have a certain attraction for me--I can
fit them into the schedule, every month or two.  If I'm lucky.

Well, if you're doing the designing, then you design different
weapon fits for different nationalities.  It would be nice if
there were published designs for the GZG Major Powers, you'd
know that NSL tanks usually have HKP while FSE armor depends on
HELs...but weren't you just saying that what you liked was the
generic nature of DS2?
