Commander Pacific At War (CPAW) - Game Extension

Are there any players within the CEAW community familiar with WIF (World in Flames) a really great Board Game by Harry Rowlands and Greg Pinder (from Australia, where I hail from) ? This game is set across both the European and Pacific theatres at an Operational / Strategic level not dissimilar to CEAW GS. It is currently under development as a computer game (for more than 10 years) by Matrix Games.

I ask because I am wondering if there is any intention to do a CPAW (aka a Pacific War extension) with a possible intention to join the two together (CEAW + CPAW) at some future point in time ? It seems to me the CEAW 'game engine' might actually produce a better result (at an appreciably faster rate) with a huge potential audience (player base) just itching for a whole of World War 2 type game.

Thoughts ? Have you discussed this previously ?

There are some threads about this in the General forum if you do a search. My understanding is that Slitherine asked the GS developers to limit their design to WW2 Europe ala the original CEAW game.

No need really. We were told that we couldn't change the timeframe or expand the map.
