RE: Pacific/Asia, give us more!
I wrote about 42 partial scenarios for the Philippines 1941-45 but that was when AP looked like they were going to crash and they wanted to split into two Philippines Games, 1941-42 & 1944-45. I think I lost most of the Material on my old computer but I might still have some information. But it's a lot of work for nothing if AP won't commit to it.
If they would have done it in one game, it would have been a pretty large game, having the Japanese invasion, paradrops on both sides, urban combat in Manila, Jungle fighting, country-side battles, tank engagements, American Invasion and much more. I think at one point I realized the game would never happen so it inspired me to create Nihon Silk, as at least I could put some of my energy from the Philippines into it, with the Japanese Para-drops on the Philippines and one scenario thrown in at the end to show an armor engagement on the Philippines with the Japanese 2nd Armor Division. It also allowed me get some other Pacific areas of action into the PG series and added More Japanese vs American/Dutch/British/Australian actions. So, that is how Nihon Silk came about. Too bad it's only in download format, as I wanted a larger audience to enjoy it. If you do download it, remember there are three small errata's to download to get the correct experience and feel free to not use the hidden rules, as they were never in my version of the game and play tested without them as well.
