[2-81 Armor]

FWIW, I would think that a Korea '50 would be a natural fit for the MC series, and I'm actually surprised that its not already covered-- especially given the existence of Korea '85.

Though it would probably be too much to include the entire war, I would think that through using multiple smaller maps (al la Salerno) that the important parts could be covered. Or it could be covered in two or three titles.

I'd really like to see this too! I'd like to see the entire peninsula mapped, but from what I can gather, for most things, it's really the maps that are the bottleneck, so I suppose the Salerno approach is best.

Only reason I'd like the full map is so the first phase from 1950-51 could be played out as a one map grand campaign. From the initial invasion, to the Pusan Perimeter, the breakout, Inchon, and the Chinese intervention. This could be done with a series of mini maps too, but being able to play the whole thing on one map would be nice. Either treatment would be fine with me.

Another era not mentioned is Vietnam. I don't mean the whole war (that would be impossible), but what about full map 1972 Easter Offensive, and 1975 Final Offensive games that would only need to cover from the DMZ down to Saigon and the Mekong Delta (the Laos /Cambodia staging areas would not have to show those entire countries)? 1972 and 1975 could avoid (for the most part) extensive guerrilla operations and rules, since these were "conventional" campaigns, and different options for more or less US involvement could be done. We'd have a lot to play with: armor, artillery, special forces, early TOW missiles, gunships and airmobile ops, without having to deal with too much guerrilla/partisan stuff, since the North used their regulars for the most part, with the VC (what was left of it) playing a limited role.
