Just lay down the forces, and some kind of campaign script or even a dynamic one. I would like to see a post-Cold War Red Storm Rising.

Of course its possible.
Microprose did it for Falcon 4, why would it be different for naval simulations. ?
I agree with you seaqueen, concentrate on one single theater and apply a dynamic campaign engine.
Let the ai carry on with a global crisis, generating different kinds of missions (infiltration in enemy territorial waters with subs, reconaissance with p-3, naval strikes with frigates, etc...) and you choose the mission to carry out.
Of course you will need to have a logbook with all the scores and promotions

If we are to have a succesor to DW, divert all resources to a dynamic campaign.
Ignore graphic deficiencies, scenario editor features, etc....
Just give us the holy grail of military simulations.
Back to reality, we know that DW will never have a dynamic campaign *sigh*.
