Hay all
I was reading this months copy of military machines international and there was a feature on army bridge laying equipment and it got me thinking.
Would anyone be interested in a army engineering campaign building stuff like bridge layers engineer vehicles and recovery vehicles?

Hi Scott, I could do some thing like this. The LHS was having a big Trumpeter sale and i picked up the Panzer IV Bridge layer kit. So that will work well. Tom

Sounds like a great one, you can count me in on this one. I've been looking forward to building a M60 based bridge layer.
Happy Modeling,

Hey all!
Here's a couple of "ideas." Not something seen very often:
German Berge T-34 Bergepanzer III Hmmmm.....and I have a "spare" T-34/85 (sans turret) that could be used.

Interesting subject.
I could be in with a AMX30D conversion by Azimut depending on the campaign schedule.
For those who aren't afraid by huge challenges here are some pictures that could inspire them
More close pics of this prototype on my site.

I'm in with a Canadian 578!
cheers
One of the serious problems in planning against Canadian doctrine is that the Canadians do not read their manuals, nor do they feel any obligations to follow their doctrine.

Scott, just signed up for this one - there are so many recovery kits in my stash! And great news on the late start date, since I suspect quite a few of us have tons of other campaigns to wrap up...
Looking forward to this one!
