A natural topic for here. Think about it, and nominate a new boxed game you'd like to buy. Try to have a sharp focus on the topic, so we can envision a conservative number of boards and counter set.
That would be about 45 boards and a freightcar load of counters, but I like it.
Mortain Offensive. 2-4 Maps, 1 sheet of units + markers, 20 scenarios including a few what if's. This would be issued as an introductory game, doing what Airborne failed to do.
Agree, both of these would be cool:
"Mainland Asia !"
"Mortain Offensive."
What about Okinawa?
Still waiting on Market Garden...
Sicily...
Plunder...
Destruction of Army Group Center...
Crimea...
Kharkov...
Phillipines (early AND late)
Burma...
China...
China...
China...
Oh and China
I'm just as much a China-advocate as anyone here. The China theatre could produce half a dozen non-foreign armies for our table. It would be great to see the graphics of mapboards with Chinese villages and towns to lend flavor to scenerios set there.
Keep in mind the Japanese army was still launching offensives there in 1945, they were basically undefeated at the end of the war.
Not my idea, but someone recently suggested a set on the Assault on Singapore. Once again, not to many maps, at least a dozen scenarios, and lots of different colonial troops defending against 1942 era Japanese soldiers. This could be the Pacific theatre Introductory game for PG.
I'd like to see a "Patton in Sicily" game.
