Many players of Combat Patrol(TM) have contacted me asking for a supplement to the rules for the fighting in the Pacific. The supplement is nearly complete. As with all previous supplements, this one will be free, requiring no additional purchase. See link for all the available free stuff.
The supplement has rules for obvious things like banzai charges and suicide attacks on vehicles. The biggest addition / change is that the morale results will be different. The results on the Action Deck cards are excellent for Western armies, but they don't quite feel Japanese. The new results will have more unit effects and fewer individual effects, and they will represent the unique ethos of the IJA. The supplement will include a chart with the new results. Each card in the 10 existing Action Decks are serial numbered. When you draw a morale card from the Action Deck, you will be able to use that as an index to the new Japanese morale.
Interrupting the streamlined flow of Combat Patrol(TM) to look something up in a table will be unsatisfying to many, so I am developing two uniquely Japanese Action Decks. The cards will be the same as the existing Action Decks except for the morale area, which will have the new results. You do not NEED the new cards, but if you play the Pacific, you will appreciate the new decks.
Below you can see a mock up of a new, uniquely Japanese Action Deck Card. I asked the artist to make the soldier and vehicle hit location indicator look Japanese. He went above and beyond by making the cover icons and the HE scatter direction indicator look more South Pacific as well.
Stay tuned for an announcement when the supplement is ready.
