Yeah but Schweinfurt doesn't really fit in with the theme of the series as well.

Too many planes at once? Not enough maneuvering?

I guess Ploesti's low-level attack requirements would make it more Dambuster-like.

Yup, pretty much.  The precise timing and treetop level nature of the Ploesti raid sort of lends itself to the series' overall theme.  Schweinfurt/Regensburg is too massive, I think.

The Tirpitz raid and maybe Penemunde (although that's probably too big as well) would also be interesting.

Fields of Despair looks interesting. If only someone could have showed me how to play it...

Not a single Napoleonic game in the bunch.

^ Agitation is for COIN games.  >:D

Speaking of which, I see Colonial Twilight: The French-Algierian War heading the list. It's the only one really designed for solitaire play, too.

Liberty or Death for a more traditional 4-player COIN game, is getting a reprint, too.


As for Napoleon, I saw this in the list: https://www.gmtgames.com/p-632-austerlitz-1805-rising-eagles.aspx

no, it's designed for 2-player play, but only having 1 bot to control instead of 3 makes it much more solitaire-friendly

"Designed for 2-players", "a full solitaire system" being marketed at maximum "solitaire suitability". Not denying the former, just parroting the latter.  >:D

We're seeing more of that these days - games being made with a built-in solitaire system. Fields of Despair is a two player game, with a solitaire system out of the box.
