I pretty much only read nonfiction because I am a mega nerd (did you know there's a massive nonfiction sale on Amazon right now?! Glanz's books are all like 2$ on kindle OMFG), so a book with all the people replaced would be pretty useless. As far as fiction, sure, why not. If the book is good enough to pull it off it'll work regardless. I just watched that Battlestar Galactica show and one side of the show was made up of literal clones who were referred to by their model number. It still managed to create interesting characters with unique identities.
As far as more WW2 games, sure overall there were a ton back in the early 2000s, but there are very few hardcore WW2 RTS games and not much beyond RO2 (shooter) and COH2 (good but the setting is atmospheric, not gameplay driving) right now. The closest thing to WRD in the setting is Graviteam Tactics which is pretty crap. Both settings allow for mechanized combined arms warfare, so there's not a huge difference in terms of gameplay barring the loss of helicopters (as someone who played ranked with Polish national, I feel this loss keenly). IMO the biggest real difference between early Cold War and late WW2 is that REDFOR is Nazi instead of Soviet and there's not as much vehicle divergence on BLUEFOR as there is in the 1950s. I could point to some equipment stuff (multi axis stabilizers, early missiles, early helos, early jets) but they weren't particularly mature in that period so not super important.
At the operational level I 100% agree, there's nothing Cold War outside of Vietnam 65 (lowest level of operational warfare but excellent game) and I really feel the lack.
I dunno, I guess what I'm getting at is that I'm sad that people I played WRD with for years are so unwilling to even give SD44 a shot (during launch, I completely understand nobody playing the game right now because blegh). I'd be just as sad if WG4 came out and people ignored it because for me, it's all about those mechanics and this RTS franchise serves up the kind I like best.
Since we're talking about books, reading this right now which I highly recommend:
