Right now, there's no real web interface for looking through WW2 data. Everything out there is outdated / not usable.
We want to make something that allows users to look at / view the events of WW2 in the easiest way possible. In a storytelling format.
- Need to be able to go into granular detail of an area on the map.
- Individual events on an atlas down to the month.
- Follow a company around.
- 1 company
- follow the events of 1 company
- events should show the different companies involved
- events should also show the different campaigns that were involved
- social (commenting system?)
- search bar? (optional)
- Browned out WW2 map era feeling
- show divisions, number of types of divisions, casualties
- Documentary-esque
- Story telling on a company basis.
- Companies
- Comrades
- Follow your company
- War
- Forces
- Map
- Campaign
