[WarInEur] pockets and break outs.

[sgminfo]

Yes I too like the thought of abandoning the Aex oos, but it is a huge 
step, and is not backed by any experimental evidence as to whether it 
might ve potentially destablising.

As an option it is enticining, all the more so as the option is 
effectively closing off a code loop for the oos situation.
But one must be very careful about departing too far from the existing 
script.

this is fine so long as we don't stray, ending up with needing to 
reinvent something, involving a lengthy code revamp that wrecks schedules.
And especialy imparting a feel to the game that means we are really 
playing something that is not WIE. It must keep the flavour, and tone, 
so that veterans can adapt and take to the smulation, feeling 
comfortable with it in a still fully familiar format.


If  people feel it is worthwhile, then it might be possible to dabble in 
it and add the option, but strictly as an option.
The game is littered with endless possibilities, and, coming downto the 
wire, we must not lose sight of the main prize...

getting it back on the shelves..
