Next Game?

Note: Any future game plans are subject to modification.

Airborne 200: Utah Beach was envisioned as a possible series, but it's likely that additional games will be created only if Utah Beach has a successful Kickstarter campaign. Chronologically, Operation Market should be the focus of the second game (yes, we're used to thinking of Market Garden, but Market was the airborne portion); however, Randy decided that the Battle of the Bulge should be the second game because of his friendship with the late Herb Suerth, seen in Band of Brothers Episode 5 as "Junior," lighting Carwood Lipton's cigarette on the truck to Bastogne. Herb was one qualifying jump short of being eligible to join Operation Market, so instead he had to wait a few months and jump off the back of a truck onto the frozen ground of Mande-Saint-Étienne, just outside of Bastogne.

A quick mock-up of a possible Battle of the Bulge board resulted in this approach. It changes to a landscape orientation and features about 30 locations including St. Vith, Lanzerath, Hotton, Foy, and Bastogne in Belgium, as well as a couple of sites in Luxembourg:
The ultimate Airborne 200 collection would feature games for Normandy, the Netherlands, Belgium and Germany, but let's keep calm and get one completed first!
