Nothing official here, just me trying to privately do some research to help Ares with "over the horizon" planning on future theme releases.
Currently we have:
- Battle of Britain (released)
- South Pacific (exact details within SoPac Area withheld; in development and most aircraft/squadrons already selected barring unforeseen complications)
What else would be good candidates for future theme releases? I'm thinking we're mainly looking for cases where the same groups of squadrons for both sides regularly met in battle, aside from "carrier battle" releases where doing them right would need at least 3 models from each ship.
Some candidates so far, and I'll add your suggestions to this list as you post 'em:
- Operation Torch/North Africa Campaign (personal bias to 325th FG Checkertail Clan)
(via Carl_Brisgamer) RAF 92 Sq. Spitfire Vb/Trop, JG27 Bf109F-4/Trop, RAF 112 Sq P-40E, RAI 84a Sq C202 Folgore- Pearl Harbor
- Coral Sea
- various Tactical Air Forces in the Western ETO supporting ground offensives
(via Carl_Brisgamer) Op. Overlord: RAF 609 Sq Typhoon IB, USAAF 78th FG P-47D bubbletop, JG26 Fw190A, SchlG 4 Fw190F- American Volunteer Group in the CBI
- Eastern Front - Kursk
- ETO Strategic Bombing Campaign
(via Carl_Brisgamer) 357th FG P-51B bubble, JG1 Bf109G

My recommendation to Ares on carrier battles would be that we make each ship's actions a different "sub-game" to be fought on its own table, then after the actions with all ships are resolved a final "resolution phase" determining which ships are left to come back to, who gets a deck to land on and who has to look for a friendly ship to ditch next to. If possible, when making your suggestions please list squadrons and aircraft for each side, and Ares has a strong preference for actions where we can reuse existing (including the Dust Games retools of the transport losses) sculpts as a springboard.
