Hey fellas, I was reading over the rules and everything and I didnt really get what I was looking for. I am making a diorama based on this picture.



The picture is from Kronach, Germany, April 12, 1945. Its going to be a street fighting scene.

Tsunami. The dio needs to show celebration, not fighting. If the street was full of people celebrating the end of the war then that would work.

Hmm, Can I speak to the campaign leader? Because I found this "Build a diorama or vignette with appropiate figures, planes, ships og vehicles representing the days around surrender of the Axis forces in Europe in May 1945."

Which says nothing about having to do with celebration therefor I went and ordered about $50 worth of stuff to put in this dio.

BTW: I did read the rules in the actual campaign album, thats why I braught this up. I did however find the quote listed above in the Thread made for the campaign.

Straight from the Campaign page


Quoted Text

We would like you to make a scene that captures the feelings around VE-Day - relief, joy, despair etc. - meaning that a sole vehicle on a plate, just won't do it unless it's crowded with celebrating civilians or german POW´s - if you get the point ;-)

Yes, it doesnt say anything about having a battle scene. It said only that vehicles with a base is not permitted. It says it would like to be celebration. It doesnt say that it is mandatory for it to be celebration. But this dio will be towards the end of the war. Say 2 weeks from it...

I understand your concern.
