Agreed.
Mods, there is a dearth of wargames of the Campaigns' scale set in the pacific. Very few. Save the Cold War, which I also voted for, there are plenty of other games that cover the European theater.

Agreed.
Yes, most definitely. Those are all good ideas and I'm slowly collecting reference material to indulge in those types of scenarios.It's not on the poll, but it struck me that a really cool area to look at might be obscure, smaller or irregular conflicts in the modern era. The system seems well-suited to things as disparate as the anti-colonial struggles in post-WWII Africa and Asia, up through the 1980s, to clashes in Kashmir, to the Iran-Iraq war, or the Falklands even. The scale and flexibility of the game system seems pretty good for that sort of thing.
In that case West Front it is.
The initial Cold War release will focus on Central Europe. My plan is to have a set of scenarios for each decade (late 40's, 50's, 60's, 70's and 80's) that will focus on some key battlefields (North German Plains and Fulda Gap) and show the advancements in weaponry and tactics will play a role on those battlefields as the decades proceed.If it is to be Cold War hopefully it will be early cold war like Operation Unthinkable rather than set in the 80s as again most Cold War games are set after 1980.
Jason does that mean a decision has been made? I was really hoping for the Pacific theater. While I have your attention, what are the statuses and rough (?) ETAs for the later Vietnam conflict and Korean War content? I will say how happy I am that you are working on the Korean conflict. Very interesting and lots of potential scenarios.Jason Petho wrote: ↑Tue Aug 09, 2022 6:02 pmThe initial Cold War release will focus on Central Europe.

Plenty of content out there. I'll play you some Battle Sector if you want to set up a challenge.
I would like to see tacitcal games on that era as well, but not sure the Campaign system would fit;probably need a new system.
