MAS:PTO Poll

Post by Charles Lewis »

I'm slowly in the process of finishing up PTO. The only outstanding aspect (aside from generating 1 gazillion plane sheets) is to put together a few more campaigns. Currently, there is a repeatable campaign for the Chinese theater, representing the war in China from 1936 to 1945. There is another for the Japanese invasion of the Dutch East Indies. As in MTO, there will be two generic campaigns meant to repeated over and over until the end of the war; one will be carrier-based for both sides for the carrier duels between the US and Japan, while the other will be land-based for the island-hopping campaigns.

That leaves the fifth slot open, and I am open to suggestion. If you choose "Something Else" on the poll, please post your suggestions/ideas below.

One vote for each option is not exactly helpful. :P

Who voted for something else? What did you have in mind? Or were you just not interested in Coral Sea, Midway or Guadalcanal? :?:

I voted for Guadalcanal because you have both land and sea based missions and that variety was appealing to me, I'm working on a list of missions I'll try and get it out to you by this weekend.

Cool. Something mid-war would fit well, and Guadalcanal has now taken a commanding lead in the polling (though the poll remains open for continued voting).

I voted for Guadalcanal as well, there was a good mix of things there.
Coral Sea would be my second choice but Midway feels weird to me but might just be me thinking too historically (with the code breaking and secrecy thing).

I was another Guadalcanal vote. It was such a struggle with an interesting variety of planes, with all kinds of missions over "Iron Bottom Sound" and Henderson Field.

Still fiddling with some Guadalcanal missions I'll email them out if I ever get caught up here. :roll:

Coral Sea

I find the Coral Sea Campaign more interesting.

Push come to shove, the generic carrier-based campaign will be evocative of the Coral Sea. That unique kind of encounter *will* be captured one way or the other. :)
