Let's start with Beyond Valor and Yanks:

Are there any vehicles/ gun counters which have yet to be included in a scenario?

Official vs TPP?

Any of you uber-geeks keeping track of this on a spreadsheet or some other method?

I'll see if I can work them in to some of my current projects :)

The Pz2 flame tank- just one ToT scenario

The Soviet T-50- no scenarios that I can think of

Any US mine clearing tanks, Crab or the monster with rollers.

Certainly not an all inclusive list, but I have never played nor seen a scenario with any of the following weapons or vehicles included in the OB.

12.8 cm K81/1 128L AT gun
17cm K18/1 170L ART gun
BA-64b
SU-76i(g)
T-43
ZSU-37
M15A1 MGMC
M2 4.2 inch mortar
T32 37mm man pack gun
M1 8 inch howitzer
Jeep GPA

Just because I haven't seen it doesn't mean it doesn't exist, of course.

I'm pretty certain the T-43 (aka uparmoured T-34), ZSU-37 have been used, the SU-76i and (Soviet usage) GPA and the M15A1 GMC a bit less,but still think they saw use, possibly the BA-64B, though that could have been a SL/CoI era scenario.

Schwerpunkt scenario Seelow Seesaw features the 128L AT Gun. Destroy All Monsters by the ESG gang features the M2 4.2 inch mortar and the M1 8 inch howitzer. ESG Orgy Of Gore features 6x T43. The MMP scenario Red Storm features the T44.

I've played Red Storm, that's why I didn't include the T-44 on my list.

The KV-8 (flamethrower equipped KV) does not appear in any official scenario unless it has in the last couple years since I've been out of the loop, and very few TPP scenarios. I actually pondered attempting a design using it.

I have a memory fragment nudging me and I think I saw a KV-8 as well as a T-34 FT variant in a scenario. Or I'm just dreaming.

90% of your bucket list is going to be the half of the British and Italian vehicles in Chapter H that have never been used.

Surely only 80%? Japanese and Chinese vehicles have to make up at least another 10%.

The KV-8 is in "Red Churchills" [J170], from ASL Journal 11.

Had to explain to mine a few months back what "Taking the Left Tit" was all about when she saw it laying on the table as I was learning night rules...:eek:
It's a much more interesting scenario if she would only agree to getting a geomprphic hill board #2 tattoo on her chest....

;)

That is why I am sticking to BV and Yanks for now. The rest-- well maybe if I live to be 100, or get a 'team' going to help.

Seriously, Pete - your Bucket List is mostly about Guns and Vehicles that haven't been covered yet?

I'da thought it might involve something like "I wanna design a 12-turn scenario" or "I wanna try a map that's got one road running the length of 3 boards" or "I wanna try some kind of funky scoring like in Scotch On the Rocks". No? You've already scratched those itches?

No reason I can't use those ideas along with the fresh components!
