If you're going to be a Mexican do you get to keep your sunglasses? Or do the pure blood Mexicans get your sunglasses and you have to steal new ones?

Done before but not brilliantly so perhaps a remake could be interesting:

Shattered Union was ok as long as you didn't play with the sci fi units. Those were horrible.
I also hated the low speed for rotary wing aircraft.
Good thing the game was easy to mod.
Though i never got over the infantry on foot,  in a world full of cars.
Oh, and the artillery didn't shoot back during defense.
All in all, a poor copy of Panzer General 3.
