Post by: tiberius_mannius on 09 July 2011, 06:16:04 PM

Bought the game a couple weeks ago and have to say I was remain very impressed with the quality you produce Agis.

I am very interested in trying this with the pacific and was wondering if you planned on doing some lists and if you had an idea when?

Thanks

Pacific War is 100% sure to be released.  8)
In fact the 1st 3 army list (late war USMC, Japanese and Chinese) including some vehicles for each list are already written.
The initial idea was to postpone them after the big 4 Technical Manuals, stir enough interest and I will change the release schedule!

I should scan the folder more accurately, I just made such a thread. Please it's definately going to happen. Consider me clammering for it. The Pacific Theatre is a bit neglected rules wise, so you'd have a fair few people interested if you got the books out soon. :P

Hi again, after a two week vacation break I am back at the desk and painting table.
Worked has continued on the Japanese and USMC books for Victory Decision.
A Type 97 Shinhoto is ready to be shown.

1/72 - 20 mm Milicast Japanese Type 97 Shinhoto,
In late 1942, Japan decided to improve both the hull and turret of the Type 97. The result was the Shinhoto, armed with a 47mm Type 1 gun and two 7.7mm MGs. The Shinhoto’s name means “new turret” and it was arguably the best overall tank design produced by the Japanese during the war.

Type 100 O-I Superheavy Tank (1/72 World at Arms model)

O-I was the name given to a proposed series of Japanese super-heavy tanks, to be used in the Pacific Theatre. The vehicle was truly a behemoth and similar in size to the German Maus. Exact information is lacking however and many claims contradict each other; it is unknown whether the vehicle was truly built or ever saw combat.
