By the end of the month I’ll have enough of the core game and expansions for Memoir 44 to cover practically all theaters of World War II

• The core set has US and German army playing pieces.
• Mediterranean Theater has a British army and rules for Italian troops, using the German army pieces.
• Eastern Front has a Russian army.
• Pacific Theater has a Japanese army.
• Winter Wars expands the ETO to cover Christmas 1944 and the Battle of the Bulge.
• Winter Desert Map is more for aesthetics than anything else.

I have plenty to keep me busy with this game, I think.  Though I am looking at the map series expansions, specifically the one with Japanese and Russians fighting early in the war.

Remember when I mentioned a rabbit hole?

Arriving today (March 21):

Arriving tomorrow (March 22):

Arriving next week (I hope):

I think that covers everything I need for now.  The Winter Wars expansion may come later.  And I’m still not sure about the air power expansion.

I may have procured a copy of the Memoir 44 Pacific Theater expansion.

Stand by.

15 years after it was released, we played a game of Memoir 44, at Dice Tower West in Las Vegas.

The game itself was on my radar for many years, but for one reason or another I simply ignored it.

But once Nels and I played a game, we both agreed that it was a good game.  So much so that I finally ordered a copy of the base set, which appears to be out of print.  Along with all of it’s expansions.

I’ve been able to find a few of the expansions locally and online, and I’ve picked up a couple and may end up getting more of them in the future.

Right now my white whale/holy grail is the Pacific Theater expansion, which has always been my chosen area of interest in World War II.  I seem to be able to find all of the expansions EXCEPT this one.

Here’s hoping I can find a copy.  Or it gets reprinted in the near future.
