The next PBI will have the introduction of wobbly grids, wobbly roads, and wobbly houses, and no late war / post war tanks and there will be a new system for tracking the company logistics.

And a pre-game in which you gain advantages if you can guess the total number of rivets on the opponent's armour?

You spoilt the surprise Simon!

Don't forget that "same side PBI" is still on the horizon.

Leslie BT

That's will be good, but you need to sell both sides to keep the ranges growing. Same side means only painting one side that good!!  Just got to find someone who will go halves on the same side Romanians.

They will need to be good to cope with the wobbly roads and wobbly terrain, must look for those jelly moulds, I think we have a rabbit somewhere. Hum looks like a wobbly hill.

The players will have to buy the opposition too.
Roughly

The players will have a platoon per player.
1 plater = Veteran platoon
2 players = average platoons
3 players = raw platoons

Opposition will be fairly generic but maybe based upon a menu by D6 generation.

Still a  4x4 table with PBI normal scenery to help the game happen.

Martin,

I think this is a very worthy exercise. Not just in creating a new game in a popular era, but also as a way for folk to "grow into" PBI as they build up their forces. A little like DBA is a good game in its own right, but it then enabled players to expand into DBM / DBMM etc.
