It is definitely going to be a turn-based game. Not much else has been set in stone.. First of all I'm aiming for the Panzer General feature set. That means quite simple rules, with details of supply chains and industrial output hidden from the player. Prestige points earned on the battle field was the only currency and could be traded for equipment and troops. I'm not sure which direction I'll take when that goal has been reached, but I have lots of ideas .. =) Maybe I'll make a light version with easy rules for people who just want to kill an hour or two, and another version with historically accurate equipment, supply management, and a model of the economy for wargame fans.

Turn-based strategy? Any resource management? High realism? Any resemblance to eg the Civilization games? Thanks in advance for the enlightenment :) I hope it's going well!
