Brian Rock Posted December 17, 1999 Share Posted December 17, 1999 There is also zillions of actions in Malaya, New Guinea, the Phillipines, Burma (ok, not the Pacific, but more-or-less the same theatre), and a nice combination of one-sided (Japanese and Allied, depending) plus some hotly contested fights. I think the CM engine would do the job brilliantly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darryl Posted December 25, 1999 Share Posted December 25, 1999 Well, my 2 cents worth of voting is: CM2=eastern front CM3=MTO CM4=PTO CM5=early ETO, including USSR-vs-Finland ------------------ Darryl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PanzerLeader Posted December 25, 1999 Share Posted December 25, 1999 Darryl, And what about the Western Front 1940? You could also create a hypothetical invasion of Britain, that would be cool(Sealion.) Maybe you include that in MTO? And is it possible to play the Italian campaign in CM1? I don't see why not. You have the Americans, the Brits, the Germans, and I don't think there are any important terrain features missing... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Captain Foobar Posted December 25, 1999 Share Posted December 25, 1999 The only aspect of the Pacific Theatre that seems less fun to me, is that the Operational level of the ground combat seems like a foregone conclusion. If you are going to play Japan, there isnt much you would do by winning a battle, The Americans are coming, and will eventually win no matter what you do. I can see the argument coming that the same would be true in CM's European Setting, but at least in Europe you can change things on the ground. In the Pacific, you hold an island, or you take an island... (zzzzzzz) And I know that it is rare for this level of play to be have a major result on a front, but tell that to the defenders of bastogne...

Johan Brittz Posted December 26, 1999 Share Posted December 26, 1999 North Africa - desert terrain - manouvre - manouvre - manouvre - FUN!! Dense forest - massed troops packed as close as what the unit outline will allow and then watch the AI have all the fun? Nope - my vote is with BTS's scheme of things as it stands - if they bring out POF later - no problem - will buy it as well, but don't jump the planned queue. Know that's not what you're asking Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wild Bill Wilder Posted December 26, 1999 Author Share Posted December 26, 1999 You're right, John. I want 'em all, in any order they come. Just include the Pacific. Where you put it in the stack is relatively unimportant, as long as it makes it. Beggars can't be choosy!

Guest scurlock Posted December 26, 1999 Share Posted December 26, 1999 Wish I'd seen this tread earlier. If the terrain could be modeled right (corral and volcanic rock, extreamly soft volcanic sand, dense vegitation etc.). The pacific would be the extreem in squad level action. Wouldn't take too much work iether. The Nipons didn't use tanks on the islands much (although they were desisve in the early Burma campain). The American stuf is allready modeled except for Marine type squads. I'd be interested in it. Having said that, France 1940, the Desert, and the Eastern Front in that order are my personal priorities. The west just happens to be the theater of operations that I find most facinating.

Los Posted December 26, 1999 Share Posted December 26, 1999 I love reading the posts that pop up occasionally about the PTO being "dense forests",or short range , or infantry only or lack of combined arms and whatnot and how boring it is. Talk about stereotyping. I guess you guys don't read much? Los Put me down for a copy of PTO whenever it comes out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
not here Posted December 27, 1999 Share Posted December 27, 1999 I think the invasion/defense of Singapore would be a must-have scenario. All the combined arms you want (if you're Japanese). I don't recall what, if any, British armor was present, but there were some great heroic stands of infantry vs. light armor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
