How about the first proper and realistic WW2 game in history?

EDIT: I don't think there will ever be a historically accurate WW2 game. But it would be interesting to see!

It will undoubtedly be the Napoleonic Wars
Of course, I also think lines should be able to move in double rank without having emotional breakdowns.

 I think it would be great if they went back to the Napoleonic era. They would have learned a lot from the experience and feedback of BCoF with massive matches and the availability they have unlocked as a result of using a better engine, meaning that if they did go back to the Napoleonic era, they could make it much bigger, better, and expanded than that of NW.

Maybe we should start a poll on this thread with the most popular suggestions?

A historically accurate WWI game sounds like a good idea. I'd also like to throw out the Thirty Years' War as a plausible time period to focus in on. With all the wars going on in Europe at that time, I figure FSE would have lot's to work with (or on).

Just a few relevant pictures.

Defenestration of Prague

Tercio formation

Cuirassiers

One could go to the Habsburg-Valois Dynastic Wars (1492-1558) for a time where gunpowder was revolutionizing European warfare. We see events such as the Hungarian defeat at Mohacs (1526) where gunpowder proved decisive, as well as having a relatively wide expanse.

I'd still suggest Thirty Years' War, for the sheer scope and a personal interest in the period. I'd decline the English Civil War if it were done alone, though due to the fact most of it coincided with the Thirty Years' War, it wouldn't be a stretch to add it to a game concerning such (albeit as different factions).

And if none of these perk interest, then WWI is always a great fallback. :)

For a game, one would most likely go for a widely known and popular time of history.
Probably one of the very few old-timers here who hasn't been a regimental leader.

A late 19th to early 20th century/Victorian era/age of imperialism game with most European countries and many African and Asian tribes and countries as factions would be really cool. It wouldnt be completely historically accurate since you would be able to have countries that never fought against each other at the time fight agaisbt each other, but it would have accurate uniforms,troops, and units. It wkuld also feature artillery, mounted combat, and iron sights on rifles that would range from repeater rifles to beech loading to early bolt action rifles. The combat could be based on several different wars from the time such as the Boer war, boxer rebellion, and some other colonial wars that took place at the time.
There really aren't any shooting games set in the Victorian era so a game like this would be really great. On the other hand, I am sure an idea like this could be put into a mod for BCoF since it would be basically the same gameplay and game modes, having large multiplayer battles with different types of units, artillery, and basically just big battles between two factions like nw does.

Not just spam buying games but a psychological thriller of money, power, dupes, threats and raving abuse. It will have it all.
