Field Command 2 : Choose Battle (Please read before you vote)

Ok i have a new idea:

Make all three battles from one game.

Base rules that apply to all games

Then specific folders for each battle with rules just for them

Double sided map with the three islands

SPI used to make what they called Quadragames featuring four important but small battles and they made one for the pacific.

I guess you could make a forth Tarawa and split the double sided map into halfs.

If they make a game with just one of these small battles it wont draw enough buyers.

I mostly agree. I like how they are focusing on the pacific but I would prefer they inlcude lots of small battle in one game (like memoir 44/tides of iron) or focus on larger campaigns. They should remake there singapore 1942 game  to include the entire mayala invasion and then make a south pacfic campaign game. I also like the idea of midway and leyte gulf.

Yes they can do the next one as: Midway, Leyte Gulf, and coral sea as one game using the same pieces.

You could even include the Dec 7th attack at Hawaii in a smaller format.

I would buy 6 of these.

But i cant see myself buying “attack on Iwo Jima”  Its just not really fun dealing with such a small battle for an island unless it includes lots of plastic pill boxes and other bits.

Thanks, everyone, for your comments.  We are reading every post and giving each serious consideration.

@finnman:

why are you centered on the pacific, do get me wrong I love your knew idea but will you ever do any Europe or is field command a pacific game.

We do intend to do a battle in the Europe theatre.  In fact, that was our original intention.  The reason we choose these three battles is partly due to the renewed interest in the Pacific Theatre following from HBO’s The Pacific series.  It doesn’t have much to do with where we’re based and we don’t intend for the Field Command series to be restricted to Asia or the Pacific.
