(Important: It's only a half-serious post)
Since there is no WWII campaign where Tigers are not present (I'm sure there were some in the Pacific Campaign), not to mention how weird it is when people call 60 tons of steel "kitty", let's have a campaign where absolutely no tigers allowed.
You know, a sort of counter-culture; the emos of the modeling world unite in a Tigerless campaign. Any scale, any subject from the period...
OK, joke's off, before someone loses his temper.

Pre '42 it would work. Or as a what if campaign-like what if the German high command had had some common sense and thought about making something more feasible. Or how about "size didn't matter". It's always possible to run with a topic. Just watch out for the cliff.

I know that the post is only half-serious, but seriously speaking I wouldn't join this campaign... Subject covers almost all vehicles of WWII excluding just few German (Puma - Sd.Kfz. 234/2, Panzer II Ausf. L "Luchs", Panthers, Tigers (including Jagd, Sturm and Berge) etc...)
Builds would not have almost any common feature and as such they would be hard to consider as a goup build ("Warld War II without three vehicles campaign" )
My 0,02$

Let's just exclude Tigers then
(And yes, unfortunately I'm allergic to cats -in more than one way . So if I want one it's either the sphynx or the transgenic one with no allergenic proteins in its saliva. Both are very expensive.)
Seriously, though, the Tiger-worship is a little bit too much. Just read the wiki entries.

Correct on the Tiger it was a big lump of steel with a loud gun and fresh from the factory it had the mechanical temperment of a 30 year old unmaintained 'Datsun'
But a WWII orientated campaign without this marvel of Human Engineering and imagination would be missing something.( taking in it conforms with the constraints, but isnt included)
Sure it was a useless hunk of junk worth more as scrap but i still cant turn my back on it or its Brother 'Tiger II', Because its my favorite useless hunk of junk LOL.
Cheers,
Mat
