RE: Watercraft
I won’t comment on the rules and ship types of Guadalcanal: (LCVP, LVT, AK, APD, DD & CL) as I had nothing to do with that design. And the same with the River Boats design with: (all types of Gunboats).
But for the Saipan 1944, Mariana 1944, Pusan Perimeter & Counter-Attack games I would pretty much use the scenario rules form each game design for the ships and amphibious vehicles or try out Peter’s homemade rules and please comment if you do.
• Saipan 1944: (LVT4, LVT (A)-1, LVT (4)-4, Type 2 KA-MI, LCVP, Daihatsu & LCI (G).
• Marianas 1944: (LVT4, LVT (A)-1, LVT (4)-4, Type 2 KA-MI, LCVP, Daihatsu, LCI (G), YP17 & Japanese (GB)).
• Korean War: Pusan Perimeter: (NKPA Boats).
• Korean War: Counter-Attack: LVT3C, LVT A5, LCVP, LSV, & LST. Counter-Attack has the most current rules for these types of units and scenario rules 14 & 15 should cover many of the questions from the past but with that said, the LSVs should most likely be LSTs as I believe the types I read about in a certain history book were a typo and incorrect. Dang Army guys know nothing about ships I found out. The simplest fix would be to replace those LSVs counters with the LSTs counters or use them the way they are and let them beach as the LSTs do. Also, I believe the LSVs and LSTs should have a 6 armor protection factor. I don’t see and current or future scenarios where this will be a factor however.
Future Philippines games and Sicily will add a few more ships and amphibious vehicles to Panzer Grenadier but AP is so slow, that it might take years before and if we see them in print. With that said, I won’t waste too much time going into details about those games, other than they are really cool, as I feel my designs got better as I went. Saipan, Marianas are from 2011-2012, Pusan, Counter-Attack are from 2012-14, and so I would love to see some of my more recent designs get published.
Peter has some interesting ideas and house rules he is working on here and I hope he and you gets to try them out!
