Thanks Thomas, I am looking forward to this one as well and I'll certainly get more gaming in with the finished product. Funny, this is my oldest design unpublished so far.
Followed by Korean War: Intervention, Korean War: Allies, Philippines 1941-42, Philippines Luzon 1945, Philippines Leyte 1944, Sicily (American Sector) 1943 and the latest, the Greco-Italian War 1940-41.
It should be interesting to see what Mike and the AP design team go for next.
But for now, the long awaited Korean War: Counter-Attack is in my sights. I think I first submitted it in 2013 or 2014 but we upgraded it last year and John, Daniel, Matt and Mike developed it into a fine game I am sure. I am very much looking forward to this!
With that said, I did work on the Philippines games years ago and shelved them until 2013 or 2014 or so, when I had more experience and went back at them. The Korean War project was by the far the biggest one I ever did, with four games/supplements coming out of it, covering over three years of war: 1950-1953. I might even do another supplement, on it making five products, depending on how well it does in the market for AP. The fifth product, I would have to add some Belgium's for sure but one thing at a time. The Philippines project was my second largest project, right behind the Korean War as far as massive material to read and study. Sicily was too large for one game, so I separated it out and the American Sector is totally finished on my part and when AP gets around to publishing it, I'll go back and finish the British/Canadians sector of Sicily, most likely a supplement. I recently did the Greco-Italian War 1940-41 because it interest me, I found great Greek & Italian sources and it wasn't a huge project but one that took about 300 plus hours anyway. When you figure the time, you have to include reading, research, maps, counter spread-sheet, more reading, scenario design, making to all work and back to victory conditions. Then the developers get it and you need to go over things with them as well. Then you have to hope Mike uses the most updated materials!
