Modern War

[larry marak]

Great question, urban warfare is still the big Lacuna (I know it sounds like a hawaiian term, but its Latin) in the PG system. Scaling and line of sight are probably the bigest problems to overcome. The mapping would be incredibly dense...(best tactical level, 50m per hex wargaming map for urban combat is the 4 map Berlin maps for the Advanced Tobruk System/ Squads & Leaders done by Critical Hit). And I suspect gamers would prefer site specific maps so that paper maps would be required instead of geomorphic maps. Still, once this hurtle was finally successfully crossed, we could have Brussles and Liege 1914, Barcelona 1938, Belgrade 1916 {?), Brest-Litovsk 1941, Stalingrad 1942, Kharkov 1943, Warsaw Rising, Berlin 45, Manilla 45, and Beirut 78.

There were a lot of epic battles fought mercilessly in built-up areas.
