Only Human vs Human play * No PBEM capability, only on line play * Command and Control (C&C) structure allowing delegation in several hierarchical layers * User based roles and rank determine level of freedom in C&C * Level of granularity of each game should be possible to be set, i.e one can either choose to simulate combat and movement on a grand scale, or on a multi layer scale. Battle within a battle concept to the extent that battles are resolved at the most detailed level defined by the scenario and the results are consolidated upwards in the C&C * Logistics, production, economics and politics should be available as options * Technology development should also be optional * Automated, or semi automated During Action and After Action Reporting (DAR and AAR) * Fully flexible creation of maps, scenarios/campaigns, Orders of Battle (OOB) and Tables of Equipment (ToE) possible without "programming".
