Re: [WW] Weird War I?

You nailed it, TERicker. And the Crusades, Vietnam, and WWI are all planned. 
As well as Civil War, Napoleonics. Everything that strikes our fancy. Most of 
these get one book, plus MAYBE an adventure book depending on sales. WWII 
gets more because it's so big and has so much equipment to cover.
