Pacific PzC Candidates?

[Glenn Saunders]

Manchuria 39/45
Phillipines
Malaysia
Olympic / Coronet

anything else possible at the game scale?

any chance of seeing something in this theater?

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.
