I am waiting for the japanese expansion. And too for an expansion that include Poland and France invasion.
We might see these at some point in time, I hope. My bet would be on seeing a Stalingrad expansion next: Days of the fox gave us half of a Bristish army (as compared with the sizes of the german and US armies in the base game) and Normandy provided us with the other half. Similarly, FoTB gave us half a Russian army leading me to think that a Stalingrad expansion would provide us with the other half so larger scenarios can be played.
known on most other wargame related forums as boersma8 (AAM, memoir'44, BGG etc.)
FoTB gave us a beautiful russian army with nice fun stats for their tanks etc. However, I still havent played with them, cuz there scenarios are mostly broken. I do want to play the last one at some time, but its monsterly big so its not the first thing which happens. I would be suppriced if they dont make scenarios which requier all the expansions at some time.
However, what I do want from a japanese expansion, is fanatic japanese infanteri, and real amphibius landings including some time in the water. Just imagine the bloody omaha scenario if the germans could
I) Fire at the US landing ships BEFORE they reach the beach. If each landing transport includes two infanteri, sinking of any one of the would be costly.
You could include an extra random-ness for attacks at sea. A lightly damaged whatever sinks at the roll of 5-6 on a die roll. Maybe some infanteri could survive by swiming ashore. (cost 4 movement per hex)
II) all US infanteri in bloody omaha enters the beach by movement or fire & movement action.
III) and just imagine the bloody omaha battle if not all infanteri apears at the same time. Would you then apply the same tactic for the US?
This would lead to bloody battles, and a lot of carnage even before the US has been able to fire a single shot. Obviusly the bloody omaha scenario would need to be rebalanced.
Another thing to include would obviusly be a US/Japanese combined air strategy deck.
A third thing would be jungle map. With no or little visibility.
But then, I'll rather take good scenarios over new stuff any time.

Infantry should arrive with a move or move and fire anyway in Omaha beach. Now they just start with initiative and combine fire against a bunker or two and take them out.
I agree. Some more sea hexes would be great!

Some much better balanced scenarios featuring the Russians can be found over at www.brummbar44.com (Red House and Factory Fortresses and more).
