System Requirements.
In a discussion over at the I.A. forum at consimworld, Mike Wheal pointed out to me that it takes possession of 6 PG titles to play all the scenarios from To Hell With Spain, a I.A. module.

Got me thinking about minimum system requirements for playing PG. Lately Mike has exercised the editorial helm to limit the number of games necessary to play scenarios in a particular book, but it got to me to wondering.

What do you think would be necessary in a basic "generic" PG starter set. I'm envisioning maybe 4 map panels (woods, riparian, steppe and urban), a few companies of several nationalities (Sov, Wehrmacht, IJA, Empire troops, Italians, Americans, Dutch) and 5 basic scenarios (assault against prepared position, meeting engagement, mobile defense, raid {take the enemy's hq}, and ambush {at least half the defender's forces set up hidden}).

What would you think of such a "generic" game, what would be included in your version?

RE: System Requirements.
I think I would have fewer nationalities. You seem to describing a BB:ER sized game with extra guys. A few companies + support makes 12-15 counters, after some armor, transport, weapon units & 7-10 leader counters per nationality, it's a full sized game.

What did you have in mind for working scenario combinations?

RE: System Requirements.
Since the Eastern Front is covered better between the 4 games centered there, EF, RtB, K SF and K BT I could see books drawing on all 4 especially if instead of counters each book came with updated maps to the Kursk standard for the two earlier games.
