Movie reference?? ( I don't get out much in my old age anymore. Truth be told, my young age wasn't a barn burner either ).

You meant Carl Herzog. Took me a while.

Missed that post. Thx

There a place called Sangshak. Carl Nogueira and I have been working on it for BFP. I did the research, laid out the historical forces and Carl has taken it and turned it into ASL. Gurkha and Indian Paras aided by a battalion of straight leg Indian infantry. The forces hold off two depleted regiments of Japanese infantry. It’s during Operation U-GO. Scenarios start at the Japanese crossing the Chindwin River and end at the beginning of the twin battles of Imphal and Kohima. Geoboards and a HASL.

Sign me up for that one, Carl always does a great job helping out, making correct decisions and I know they'll bring a great product to BFP. Plus it is a PTO HASL, Yeah!

It's going to be very different, due to the situation having some very unique and extremely important to the outcome, factors involved.

So I take it Mike is working on this?

It is a “in the future” works…

 

[M Faulkner]

And now there's three books on Elsenborn in my Amazon cart. Shit.

PM me.

 

[M Faulkner]

If I had the experiance in scenario design, as well as campaign experience, I think Elsenborn and St Vith would be good to combine with an updated KGP. A la the 4 Bridges project. Alas I do not have said experience

Tell me about it.

I have been working on Krinkelt Rocherath for 13-15 years. I have 20 or so scenarios with 2 or 3 possible CGs. I have all the primary resources (hired an archivist to pull the documents). I have just about every secondary source I can find, even the German ones. I take the battle from 1800 hours 17Dec44 to 2400 hours 19Dec44. The battle is from Lausdell Crossroads to American withdrawal in the Twin Villages.

Bring it on! Should be as much fun as Hatten and probably just as playable. I look forward to seeing it down the line, this is something I would buy, even with being careful with my ASL $.

We gotta get Sangshak done first.

We gotta get Sangshak done first.

Agreed Agreed.

 

[Old Noob]

Bir Hakeim (Free French vs DAK)
Imphal/Kohima (Japan's last shot at India)

These two should be worth a look.

Someone is doing Kohima already. Bir Hakeim would be interesting. -- jim

 

[21Z5M]

I was under the impression that LFT had Kohima now

Absolutely!
The HASL map would be awesome, and should not be hard to create. The battlefield is still relatively unchanged, and satellite photos indicate that most of the fortifications are still relatively intact. (I'm referring to Bir Hacheim).
If Bir Hacheim were ever to be created as an HASL it would be at the top of my 'must play' list.

 

[Vic Provost]

These smaller HASLs sound like a hoot and look forward to seeing any of them at some point. Kohima, Bir Hacheim and the twin villages sound like something I want to play.

 

[DonWPetros]

I'd be open to mapping out a good, small, HASL candidate.

I'm interested in doing something for: East Front, Normandy, Northern Europe, Italy, PTO (battles involving German, Russian, American, British/Canadian, Japanese).

Lemme know if you have a good one and maybe we can put something together.

 

[King Scott II]

Don...I will be chatting with you at West Coast Melee this week about my project and your assistance...provided that you will be in attendance.

Semper Fi!
