I want to get the process for working with polls down, so here's the plan:

I have a list of shorts that are done and ready to go: these are going to go into the poll each week.

The WW2 and Modern shorts with the most votes go live the week after (for Modern Monday and WW2 Wednesday). The poll is also time-limited: I'm probably going to run them for the week leading up to release.

The poll is multiple choice, so you can vote for as many options as you like (this saves me making a poll each for WW2 and Modern, plus everyone gets to push more buttons, which is always fun).

If you guys have any suggestions for future shorts, leave them in a comment down below and providing they're practical I'll add them to the list and then the poll when I've made them (the poll can hold 20+ options, so... it could be interesting to see where it ends).

By 'practical' I pretty much just mean within the format of "X vs Y in CM Whatever". Obviously mixing and matching between games isn't do-able (so no King Tiger vs Abrams, no matter how fun that would be) and there's only a minute to work with, so more complex topics than trying to poke holes in things are difficult.

I also might need to tweak setups to fit the format- for example, when I was making Dragon vs Soviet Tanks yesterday, the number of Soviet Tanks to test and a few interesting elements from testing meant that I had to slim things down to just three of them, from the front at the same range. We can always have follow-up shorts to nail other things down.

Naturally, there are things I want to test, so I might chuck some of my own suggestions in too.

On the plus side, I'm open to doing some CM:PE stuff (NLAW, anyone?). Really looking forward to seeing what you guys what to blow up!
