"Zeit für die Skis" is German for "Time for the skis".

I have been thinking about starting a campaign that deals with skis.

I was thinking of a campaign that would concentrate on a subject that required skis. Any scale would be fine. It can be any nation. I want to keep it military based. I was thinking along the lines of figures or any military vehicle, aircraft or whatever. It could be individual figures, vehicles, vignettes, or dioramas. I probably wouldn't start it until towards the end of this year or possibly towards the end of 2009 to give the current campaigns a chance to finish. I wanted to run it during the winter months to kind of follow the theme.

Ski troops came to mind, as did a Storch on skis. Maybe a diorama of the water skiing scene from "Apocalypse Now"?

Please let me know what you think.

Thanks,

HARV

Thanks for the interest in the campaign. I haven't seen one that was based on skis so I thought I would see what others thought.

Thanks again,

HARV
