Things are getting really serious; Indian restaurants are running out of rice.

 

 

Thanks for sparking an interesting discussion

 

Enjoying following this campaign 

The 2nd battle in the short 1943 campaign ladder has been played out and a short AAR is on the blog (link below).

This is a 'One Hour Wargames' scenario with 'O' Group rules, using 10mm Pendraken figures on a 3' x 3' table. LINK

Fair enough, sounds like you've a good plan for them.

Have you looked into Bloody Big Battles rules? They're based on F&F I believe and have scenarios for the FPW as well as many others from the 18th through early 20th Century.

Japan I'm currently working on the Genpei War and the Sengoku Jidai (12th and 16th centuries respectively). The Boshin War (19th C) has some potential, though more skirmish than big battle for the most part). There's also some very interesting actions in the 20th century, though given the war crimes and atrocities they committed probably has some of the issues you found with the WotTA.

China has a huge variety of options for many massive battles over many different terrains. I've done a couple of armies for late Warring States/early Qin (primarily around the Chu-Han Contention). I'm planning to expand out into broader Warring States. The Han Dynasty period also has some interesting conflicts against the Xiongnu steppe nomads as well as the Red Eyebrows and Yellow Turban Rebellions into the popular Three Kingdoms period. Though you could pretty much pick any century and there's probably some war or other going on in and around China! The Tang, the Song, the Ming, the Manchu... Sounds like you've already dipped your toe in with the Boxer Rebellion.

Have figures for the WSS which i use for the LOA, also WAS, due to the number of battles in each period being relatively small.

What Japanese/Chinese periods are you interested in? 

Considering Ceasers Gallic Wars (in Britian) due to the variety of the battles, and terrain. You can even do assaults on hill forts, amphibious landings, Aliesia and at a push Teutoburg Forest. The Republican battles can be a bit to much of 'line them up and knock them down' for my tastes.

The FPW is something else i should revisit. Studied it for 6months and came up with some ideas that would balance it out i.e. counter Krupp wins but it most of the rules i looked at were not that accurate decided to go with the ACW, lots and lots of evenly matched battles plus i like the F&F rules.
