Thought I'd start this thread in the BFP section so that it does not vanish without trace in the main forum. Feel free to add your own favorites from the B&J pack.
Because there are 47 scenarios in this pack and they are all lookin' cool, I thought I would select the ones that jump out at me and scream "play me!". This is my choice of the best looking scenarios from B&J:
Hueishan Docks BFP29 - this is a mini monster scenario of the battle of Shanghai. Noteworthy is that it uses all 3 of the new boards in full. It also has some interesting Chinese AFV on the attack. I think this is the best looking scenario of the whole pack. Awsome.
San Manuel Melee BFP58 - A combined arms slugfest between US Army and IJA. Lots of movement from different entry areas kick vitality into this largish scenario.
Thrilla In Manilla BFP60 - Small playing area but intense looking PTO Urban battle - can't wait to give this a go.
Typhoon Of Steel BFP63 - the next best looking scenario is a battle set on Okinawa. This is a grand scale assault on a fortified coral hill by the USMC. Plenty of Japanese fortifications and variable OOB plus the US powerful force make this catch ones eye. The terrain is interesting too.
First Day At Fuchin *and* Fuchin Fortified BFP68 & 69 - The first Fuchin scenario is a must play classic from the old RBF magazines. It is dynamic and powerful, a seductive combination. I hope the second Fuchin scenario lives up to the stature of the first. On paper it looks equally good if not better. Russian vs Japanese late war, heavy metal and PTO urban clashes!
Shenam Pass BFP54 - Brits vs Japanese and Indian Army. Japanese on the attack with an assortment of interesting AFV. Looks fun!
Surabaya Slugfest BFP71 - Fascinating looking scenario with the Brits vs Indonesian Rebuplican Army set in November '45. Amazing Indonesian AFV plus Brit Air support and Shermans give added flavour.
Slaughter At Nanyaun BFP32 - Japanese/Chinese combined arms and early war clash. The last of my pick of the crop. Looks dynamic and fun.
They are all fairly big scenarios, but that does not mean they will be static and dull. I look forward to playing them!
