Hi,
Will get one ticket. I like all of military trucks with trailer and semi-trailer.
Cheers,
K.

I would get in on this. I have the Hobby Boss M1070 and M1000 trailer. But I'd definitley have to have longer than 5 months, especially with the 750+ campaign coming up.

Sounds like something I would be into however I agree the time span should be longer. Unfortunately I was into truck and trailer last year. Now I am on to HEMTT LHS.

That's a valid question, Tat! This reminded me of the Modelcollect kits on the HEMTT and MAZ chassis.
By the way, Andrew, the logo looks great!

Proposed Campaign rules:
3) Builds from other campaigns are allowed
Would a truck or a jeep from another campaign, towing a anti tank gun or rocket launcher which would be built here be allowed?
If so I would be in and by the way the ribbon looks great to me

Michael, Dustin What time frame do you have in mind?
In my opinion, this should be at least 10 months. With most people building big kits such as the M1070/M1000 and also being in other big campaigns, 10 months would give them time I think. Most of your big trucks and trailers are going to be really big kits.

Well, it does have a trailer, so definitely!

It's a borderline case, but I think it's a good idea, so Yes! I will also add trucks with towable artillery to the campaign rules.Would a truck or a jeep from another campaign, towing a anti tank gun or rocket launcher which would be built here be allowed?

This sounds like a lot of fun! Will a tracked tow vehicle or half track be included? I'm thinking of one of those Soviet artillery tractors towing one of the huge tracked artillery pieces.

half track with towable artillery on wheels will be allowed, but no tracked artillery and tow vehicles. I'm afraid we have to draw the line somewhere and I'd like to keep this campaign free of full tracked vehicles. I'll update the rules accordingly.This sounds like a lot of fun!

Thanks for this clarification, I'll look around for something else that just needs building . . .
You have sparked a lot of interest so I expect this will be a sure go.
