Pacific PzC Candidates? - bwv - 05-28-2011 Manchuria 39/45 Phillipines Malaysia Olympic / Coronet anything else possible at the game scale? any chance of seeing something in this theater? RE: Pacific PzC Candidates? - Glenn Saunders - 05-28-2011 (05-28-2011, 06:31 AM)bwv Wrote: Manchuria 39/45 Always a chance I suppose. For any title you need to look at - the Map size: given 1km per hex will the map be big enough to support a title - example - Iwo Jima would only be a handful of hexes - the period covered in the main campaign: Is there a good campaign period of a manageable length of time. Example - Guadalcanal went from Aug 42 to March or April 43 (I think) and that is in general too long a time period. - Does ground change hands: That is if you have a game with the right size map but the main fightiong is in a few hexes which don't change hands fast enough, than it won't make an interesting game. - Finally is there enough battles which went for days - not hours to support this level of game - again using Guadacanal as the example - more men were killed by disease than combat and that won't work for a PzC (even if Avalon did a great boardgame on this title back in the 60's - which I happen to still own BTW :) ) Outside of that - anything is possible. Glenn RE: Pacific PzC Candidates? - bwv - 05-28-2011 yes, the battles I listed are the only ones that I think would meet that criteria RE: Pacific PzC Candidates? - Glenn Saunders - 05-28-2011 (05-28-2011, 08:04 AM)bwv Wrote: yes, the battles I listed are the only ones that I think would meet that criteria Ya - I guess - I would have to look closer at these to comment in detail so I kept example from places you didn't mention. Glenn RE: Pacific PzC Candidates? - P.Ako - 05-28-2011 Of those titles my favourite would be Coronet/Olympic for sure! Perhaps another title would be the fictional invasion of Australia by Japan? Obviusly it would not need to feature all Australia, just the north-eastern part. RE: Pacific PzC Candidates? - Compass Rose - 05-29-2011 Coronet/Olympic would be very interesting, just like Sealion! Did the Japanese ever put together a plan for invading the US after the attack on Pearl Harbor? If not, I wonder if that would make a good hypothetical title.

Maybe the hypothetical amphibious assault on Pearl Harbor or other Hawaian islands would also be an interesting title. RE: Pacific PzC Candidates? - larsonney - 05-29-2011 Hawaiian islands...West coast of US?... Now we are getting VERY hypothetical 
RE: Pacific PzC Candidates? - Airedale - 05-29-2011 Burma 41-45. Japanese invasion, Imphal, Kohima and a multitude of smaller battles on the Irrawaddy and in eastern Burma as part of the campaign for Mandalay in 44/45. Tanks, air landing ops, Chindits, Commonwealth, Americans, Japanese and Chinese. RE: Pacific PzC Candidates? - Tide1 - 05-29-2011 (05-29-2011, 07:53 AM)AIREDALE Wrote: Burma 41-45.
