Heroes of the Pacific (the board game)is barreling down the release pike. Below is the example of play from the game's rules. Never one to shy away from a chance to multipurpose what I've written, I'm also posting it as a blog. Clever, no? No? I mean right? Should this be the next PC game?

Heroes of the Pacific... Should this be the next PC game?

Yes!!

yes!

Sure, i will buy one...

I really dig tabletop and digital LnL so I'd get it for sure. Beach landings would be brutal, of course. It would be cool if it added to the digital game a few new mechanics like new hero card abilities, terrain types, weapon capabilities, new SMCs, amphib AFVs, and the like.

I would buy it. I think it would be my first choice too, since I don't have any computer game for the pacific theater.

go for it!!

the Pacific theatre is the poor cousin for tactical WW2 games, but has two big things going for it from a gameplay perspective - fewer vehicles (vehicles are always a bit tricky to represent in turn based tactical games) and one side (the Japanese) pretty much in static defensive positions, which is ideal for solo scenarios against the AI (if you play as the Americans that is!!)

I assume that there would be some rule differences in the PTO version of LnL to make it a worthwhile expansion - one of the problems (if you choose to see it as a problem!!) you've created for yourself with HoS is the ability for others to add content that can cover a wider range of conflict than the base game

Not too worried about that, each nation and time period has special rules. Just off the top of my head, Pacific has caves and banzai charges and jamming machine guns; Blitzkrieg has hit-and-run movement and cavalry; the modern stuff has helicopters and multiple ammo types for vehicles. Lots of things to add. [:'(]

You have my vote. I just watched The Sands of Iwo Jima a few weeks ago. Had to grab the counter as my avatar...

Would this be a new stand alone game or expansion pack?

Surely, it would be on my must have list. Eventually, I hope to see Band of Brothers, Italy and Heroes of the Gap. And somewhere between all that an expansion of the Eastern Front.

I think your looking at the Duke. (John Wayne)

I would purchase it gladly! [8D]

Hummm, I would bet on Robert Mitchum.

Three heroes (in order):
Gregory Peck
Robert Mitchum
John Wayne aka The Duke

Nope. Definitely John Wayne.

Fantastic news.Hope to see also the landing craft.Sure,i buy iy.

YES!

Ah... ok, I didn't realized the counter was based on that movie (that I didn't see). It must be the cigar that confused me. [;)]

Pacific theatre is interesting but wouldn't be my first choice.

America Conqured would be unique. WWIII with werewolves and vampires? That would be cool.

yes

Oh please oh please oh please oh please make this the next one.

Please?

It's time for the Pacific theatre, just say no to the ETO. [:)]
