RE: Liberation, the game that saved PG
Hugmenot, I suspect Mike is just sending up a trial balloon here as far as the SGWAS extension into land games is concerned. SWWAS's problem is that it has covered all theatres of WW2 with the exception of Norway/Sea Lion. New versions of SOPAC, Leyte, Bomb Alley and Midway are in various states of cogitation, but there really wasn't much left to cover. The SGWAS campaign creates a whole new WW2 at sea to game, as does the Long War campaign, and fills the need for new campaigns in SWWAS. That need doesn't exist in PG.
It's going to be an interesting trial balloon though, with one PG product, one operational game level product (Alsace 1940 remember, WW1 ended in Jan 1916 and so Alsace and Lorraine remain as German as apple strudel), and one strategic level product, so far not mentioned outside of GC newsletters. I suspect we'll have some unique little toys down the road, but not much more.
