RE: The Korean War Series Project!
News - update!
Over the last three months or so, I have been shoring up, updating or improving all 6 of my yet to be published PG designs from over the last 4 years or more. I am very pleased that I had the opportunity to improve and update all of them. They will all be better products now. Five are boxed games and one is a supplement.
All are in various stages but all have now been submitted to Avalanche Press, in their newest, updated form. Counter-Attack is getting much closer now.
The List:
* Korean War: Counter-Attack - Boxed Game
* Korean War: Intervention - Boxed Game
* Korean War: Allies - Supplement
* Philippines 1941-42 - Boxed Game
* Philippines 1944-45 - Luzon 1945 Boxed Game & Leyte 1944 Supplement
* The Battle of Sicily 1943: (The American Sector) - Boxed Game
* The Greco-Italian War 1940-41 - Boxed Game
I am not sure the game titles will stay the same or not, that depends on AP/Mike. Below is how they look after the design stage:
Counter-Attack has 65 scenarios, 4 maps and 352 counters, not counting markers.
Intervention has 67 scenarios, 4 maps and 352 counters, not counting markers.
Allies has 25 scenarios and 88 counters.
Philippines 1941-42 has 77 scenarios, 5 maps and 352 counters not counting markers.
Philippines 1944-45 is now divided into two products, as it is just too big:
Philippines Luzon 1945 - Boxed Game and Philippines Leyte 1944 - Supplement
Philippines 1944-45 has 107 scenarios, 6 maps and 352 counters not counting markers.
Now broken down into a Luzon 57 scenarios plus the 2 introduction scenarios for a total of 59 scenarios as a boxed game and the Leyte supplement book of 48 scenarios.
The Battle of Sicily 1943 (The American Sector) has 45 scenarios, 6 maps and 352 counters not counting markers.
The Greco-Italian War 1940-1941: 40 scenarios, 352 counters, and 4 maps.
I thought you guys might be interested in the above update. I spent a ton of hours over the last four years to make these good products from a designer standpoint and AP has some really good developers, so I know these products will turn out excellent.
Well anyway, I am excited about all this. Hopefully I don't get into too much trouble for sharing too much but I am just trying to stir up some new PG excitement and I think the titles I designed will hopefully interest gamers, as many never get enough attention in platoon and tactical level gaming. Historically I found designing them very interesting. They will add a lot of new situations, scenarios, unit/counter types and nationalities to the PG mix. Now to let AP catch up!!!!!!!!!!

RE: The Korean War Series Project!
Ok guys, this is getting very close now, here are the now six maps for the game:

Korean War: Counter Attack
Mapping the Peninsula
By Mike Bennighof, Ph.D.
November 2016
With Korean War: Pusan Perimeter, Panzer Grenadier moved out of World War II into the Korean conflict. In Korean War: Counter Attack, designer Jay Townsend’s sequel, the United Nations forces break out of the Pusan Perimeter, land at Inchon, and drive the North Koreans back to the Chinese border.
Counter Attack features six new maps by veteran artist Guy Riessen. Once again, Guy has created some works of art. Have a look:

RE: The Korean War Series Project!
I await that second Korean War game. Sicily has also been high on my reading list, but heck, I want them all.
