Hi Bob,
Question? Is this an off shoot of the Armor in the PTO Campaign, or something different or did I fall asleep at the wheel again and miss something?

Hi Brian, seperate from the PTO campaign. That one covers the entire Pacific during WWII, this one is just concerning the Marianas, (Saipan, Guam and Tinian and the surrounding islands) and requires some research of reference materials. Not that the PTO dosen't but it's a requirement of the Marianas campaign.

Howdy Y'all,
I'm all in.
I'll probably build an airplane if I can't find proper decals for one of my armor kits.
