I think what Jay is suggesting is that there is a whole lot more PG lined up that can be printed and boxed economically, and that quite a few units must sell before printing first of the part 2 games is economically viable. I for one anticipate Paratroopers, soldiers powered by Belgian Beer, Manchukoan bully-boys, and still more Japanese tanks!

I am also short and stocky, have a beard, and I am as strong as an ox.

Sorry Larry, but at 48, whether Belgian or German bier, I'm just too old for real-fighting now !

I guess such soldiers, rather than Legolas would be legless !

>Romanian triology

No Matt, I would love to see a Romanian Trilogy but I know it would be a while before AP clears their plate unless you submit it yourself. That might help move it along! ?

I think that the trilogy in question is Panzer Lion, Army Group South Ukraine and Romanian Soil receiving an "Invasion of Germany" booklet style treatment.

I need to find some good historical sources on the Romanian Army and its campaigns to expand on what is out there. Plus I think Mike has some canned scenarios that didn't meet the market sniff test.

On the other hand, I don't think that it would be possible to expand on the Slovak experience...

RE: your Friendly Local Extortionist
Two books I have and are very useful.

"Third Axis Fourth Ally" by Mark Axworthy. This is a volume that goes into the infantry organisations and specifications of armour etc. For a new scenario writer would be useful to assist in all manners. It is jam-packed with most things I can think of including a useful bibliography at the back. Book is a must to anybody wanting to game the Rumanians.

The other is "Red Storm Over the Balkans" by David Glantz. This is specific to the trilogy and may have been the source for MIke Perryman. Concentrating as it does on those campaigns.
