Regarding inclusion of IA and MW

[Shad]

We've been doing the PG thing for 4 years now. I've held off on adding IA and MW because they aren't PG, for starters, and also because I was skeptical they would be more than single releases. With some new titles coming out, and the growing feedback here that people have plays they'd like to record on the HQ, I'm willing to include them but be warned - this shit takes work!

Here is a list of everything* we track in the PG-HQ Library:

• Game
  • Box image
    
  • Name - short
    
  • Name - full
    
  • Designers & Developers
    
  • Publication year and month
    
  • In-print / OOP status
    
  • Physical format
    
  • Type (standalone / expansion)

  • Armor rating

  • Movement points
    
  • Movement class
    
  • Name - short
    
  • Name - full
    
  • Parent nation
    
  • Parent service branch
    
  • Unit specific errata
    
• Nation
  • Service branches
    
  • Representative images
    

* - there's more stuff behind the scenes that we collect but don't use yet or that we use for calculations but you don't see

...plus your plays, scenario ratings, AARs, all associated stats, all derived data like unit scenario appearances or the OOBs, tour of duty medals, and so on.

THAT BEING SAID, I own neither IA nor MW. In order to include them first we must identify very clearly what data points are already covered, are not needed for IA/MW, and which must be added to adequately represent IA/MW.

So those of you who own and want these in the HQ, now's the time to step up and help map out the structure.

As for the poll, the result is non-binding!
