Would anyone be interested in a Command and Control vehicle campaign? It would be open to anything from dedicated command vehicles, to command tanks, to controlling vehicles like artillery observation vehicles.

Examples could be:
M577 Command Post Vehicle
T-80 Command Tank
M-981 FIST-V
Staff Cars, etc

Most of my examples are purely modern, because its what I know best. The campaign, however, would be open to any era. I would also welcome any who like aircraft, as I feel the AWACS and JSTARS would fit in well.


Another option would be to make it a Command and Combat Support campaign. Examples for that can be found here http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/systems/ground/index.html under their own category.

Good to see some interest in this one. I'll wait for more before I try submit it. I would like to get it running this year. I will probably build a FIST-V myself, as it has been waiting on the shelf for a while. For those needing more ideas, Mike High(TacFireGuru) had this to say on another thread.

For others thinking about "command and control;" Dragon's new Kubel...a Half-Track with all the radios...a HMMWV with the 4-pack + of FM raddidios....et cetera.

Well, on this thread and the other, we have 7 interested. Are there at least 3 more out there willing to jump on the bandwagon?

Remember, I am counting staff cars, Kubels, command tracks, artillery directors and observers....anything used in a command and control role.

I don't think you really have to count the participants. Just submit the campaign, and it should be OK.
