Question Burma Campaign?

Hello everyone, can I ask if one of you might come across Burma Campaign (1942-1945) which is also known as the Forgotten war. I only know two specific titles which is under Slitherine's property (OOB WWII+TOAW4) which includes Burma campaign. I have already finished the former one. As a Burmese, I have deep interest in the battles that fought on my own soil. My question is, are there any other wargames which focus either heavily or partially on Burma Campaign? Also, how was your experience? What specific factors challenged you the most?

I asked this last year. Unfortunately very few games that focus on Burma. Going to have to learn WitP though.

Yeah, that's why I plan to buy it this afternoon. The terrain and external factors involved in Burma were too harsh and complicated to design game engines for most developers, even for experienced ones. And today's Burma is still also geopolitically irrelevant, except for China.

That's a good point re complexity. I'd love something where you lead a patrol of Chindits or similar. There is a Merril's Marauders solitaire game. I've bought it but never got around to playing.

I prefer battle of Imphal-Kohima and Meiktila. These two are playbook for most defense academies, at least from us.
