The Competition & Teaser Thread

[Strela]

Hello All:

I am wondering about future content and relating this to the PzC series. Looking at those WW II PzC titles, how many PB titles could be derived from one PzC title. Could Kharkov '43 give rise to say 4 PB titles?

Gerry,

How long is a piece of string?!

I believe there are a couple of factors. Would people view Kharkov '43 as a significant enough campaign that they would pay for multiple titles. Secondly, does the topic justify multiple titles? What do I mean? I designed PzC Kharkov '43 and know it well. There is a Soviet attack phase and a German counterattack phase, that alone could be a title each, but would the average consumer want to pay extra to get both titles.

The soon to be released PzB title has 60 scenarios. That would predicate that future titles have to hopefully have 50 scenarios. Does the average consumer want 100+ scenarios on a particular battle or would they prefer 50 representative scenarios of the whole battle?

I can tell you that there is a lot more scenarios that could have been done in the upcoming PzB title, but I doubt people would pay again to get them.

I'd be happy to be told I'm wrong!

Where I think it is valid is some of the mammoth battles such as the drive to Moscow. There is so much content & area fought over (even before you include the Russian counterattack) that this could be multiple titles, but again I doubt people would pay for more than say two titles, one on the German drive and one on the Soviet counteroffensive.

A battle like Stalingrad has possibilities. A game only focused on the city fighting and another focused on the battle outside the city could be very different subjects, but this kind of schism in a battle is rare.

I'd be interested to hear if people would consider multiple topics on a battle...?
