Just an idea, but wouldn't it be more interesting to set up in the Pacific? I mean, the whole Europe/North Africa thing has been done by just about everyone and their dog.
The Pacific would give you Americans, Brits/ANZAC, Japanese, Chinese, heaps of interesting local troops, and that's just for starters. In spite of popular belief, all of these forces made ample use of armour - especially light armour which could be used in a 28mm game very well without stretching things the way a Pershing or a King Tiger would. The Pacific has interesting beach landings a plenty (I've been up the Dog One Exit in so many different games, I could find my way around blindfolded when I actually visited the place), and a quick scratch of research will show that terrain in the Pacific is a LOT more varied than "steaming jungle".
An "island hopping" campaign system would practically write itself, not to mention it could seamlessly accomodate naval battles fought using Victory at Sea.
And you get to use nukes :twisted:
OK, so maybe nukes are a bit far fetched for a 28mm scale game (cough, cough), but seriously, the Pacific is badly underdeveloped in terms of gaming systems and miniatures and WWII:Evo would be the *perfect* opportunity to fix it. Note also that the Pacific is starting to pick up a little more public attention now that Clint Eastwood is making movies of it, and HBO's follow-up to Band of Brothers will be set in the Pacific too... Catch the wave early!
