Whats next???

RE: Whats next???
Here is another possibility for a PzC game, but with a new twist:

A fictional war a la Blitzkrieg - yes, the 1965 Avalon Hill board game that was one of the very first commercial war games. While I would guess that Hasbro still has the rights, I wonder if they might be willing to partner with a Matrix remake using the PzC system. It would be a feast for scenario designers, since you not only have Great Blue and Big Red, but also five minor countries. You could also choose to place it within any era: WW1, WW2, Korean/Vietnam, 1980's or Modern. The back story would be a war fought on a part of Earth where other off-board powers provided the arms, so you could use real world equipment. Strategic options galore, including letting players choose initial orders of battle with equipment based on who they took as their arms supplier (US, Europe, China, Russia, etc.). The five minor countries could have various allegiances and doctrines (e.g. Swiss-style redoubt defense with militia, or a Tito-style partisan warfare strategy), and add in the possibility of a pre-war diplomacy phase (which would then segue into a scenario where the allegiances were set). Strategy choices could make airdrops and marine landings real surprises. Ideally, it could be made as a descendant of the 1965 Blitzkrieg, but if not then Matrix could devise its own version. In any case, it would be a blast designing a map from scratch instead of having to hew to history. And players could experience the challenge of fighting campaigns where you really have no idea what the other side will do.
