The New Anchor Games

[plloyd1010]

First I look at it like this, with Eastern Front, Road to Berlin, and Battle of the Bulge going away, any book/module that uses maps 1-21 is now unsupported. Guadalcanal, Afrika Korps, Desert Rats, Beyond Normandy and Cassino 1944 further the impact. Airborne is out, no para engineers or fallschirmjäger. Black SS became unsupported when HoSU/RW left, no Luftwaffe troops, this makes that worse. Kokoda Trail? No Japanese or Australians. So it goes on.

The loss to me is more nostalgic than practical. On the other hand a new PG community may emerge, a different community, but a new one none the less. Who knows what sort of cross-over there will be between the two. Since I've always been an outlier, that part doesn't bother too much. On the plus side, so far we don't need to own 3 games to play a compatible expansion. I wonder how long that will last.
