Will Rising Storm cover the early Japanese incursions into Alaska? Aleutian Islands and all that? If it's not planned I'm gonna put my hand in and suggest it, since very few games even acknowledge those events. Last game I remember that DID have it was the Forgotten Hope mod for Battlefield 1942.

Well I know the Japanese didn't kick their own butts off the islands.

But there wasn't much fighting any way. I remember some radio message saying like this: "American forces capture the Aleutian Islands. Lights were on but no one was home."

Well that's a little unfortunate, a few thousand were lost there.

I guess it would be a lot of work when most of the game is focused on the tropical climate of the pacific.

It would be interesting to see, but I guess they have a lot of work doing other areas already.

Then again, ROS SHOULD have winter assets. You can't have a WW2 game set in Russia and not have snow.


I am not sure what this is supposed to meant? RO and RO2 both have snow maps.

I meant that ROS will have winter assets and if an Alaska mission was created, the RS team could probably borrow assets from the host game.
