It would take more than that, as historical gamers would want to see
stats for
historical vehicles, instead of a "design your own" system. Plus there's
a lot
of stuff that would have to be modelled for a historical game to have
the
right flavour. For instance, command transfers should be harder in an
environment where not everyone has a battlefield network and instant
person-to-person communications. I added rules for runners in
_Hardtack_. That
would have to be used for WW2 and earlier.
