Designers Wanted

[campsawyer]

That is an interesting proposal. I enjoy scenario design and half the games I play solitaire are custom scenarios I built myself. I like to read about battles and then design a scenario around it and play it out. My big interest in recent months has been 1944 Kohima Campaign in 1944 Burma/India. What I have done using a few historical references is trace the battles of the Japanese Imperial Army 58th regiment in the campaign. I have different scenarios covering the actions. I also use the Campaigns and Commanders rules from Kokida Trail to take Japanese officers through the string of battles to gain skills and points.

Not sure there is much gaming interest in Kohima with other gamers, but it is an interest of mine and I will keep building the scenarios and playing them for my own to take the 58th regiment from invasion to retreat. It would be neat if it could be published in some manner.

I am using counters from Desert Rats for Commonwealth Forces, Guadalcanal for Japanese. Maps from Guadalcanal for the Kohima Ridge, Kokida Trail and Saipan for the jungle routes to and from the ridge.

Scenarios are no large than a battalion or reinforced battalion sized on each side. Commonwealth has tanks in the form of Stewarts and Lee's in the later engagements.

Burma is another of the untouched area of WWII and PG. Would be nice to see.
