What happened to the Original Idea of 1938 to 1941????

Well guys??
What's it going to be?
'39-'41 or what?
I checked the rules, but that didn't help much...
If it's the first, I'm in with a old Frenchy.

It sounds like the details for the campaign rules have not been finalized as of yet. I will leave this one in the approved area since the start date is out a bit. If anything changes and we need to push the start date out some more, please let me know.

Thanks

Ok it will be 39-41 timeframe and here are some of the rules

1)campaign is the early blitzkrieg years.Sept.1,1939-May 1,1941
2)any vehicle and or infantry or support troops during that time period.

5)at least 1 picture inthe the official gallery and/or posted in the official thread.

Matt,

I updated the campaign submission with the rules and new start date.

Okay, I'm all up for this one. I really want to build a Panzer 35(t) but I can't find a 1/35 kit out there. Any recommendations? Thanks a bunch!

hello all,
Here we go.this campaign covers the early years of WW2,the invastion of Poland to the end of the Greek campaign.so everyone lets get our early tanks,vehicles or troops ready.
Matt, if we are allowing support troops,they have to have a vehicle with them ie:troops in a truck or APC.
I am looking forward to seeing what all the modelers can do with this campaign.i am going to do a Pz1 in combat in Norway.
Michael, Dragon has a Pz 35(t) smart kit.Great models web store might have some by other companies.
Please remember to have fun during this campaign,remember this is a hobby,not life or death.(we do model life or death)
cheers to all,
Bruce

allright then,
As I said before I will be joining this one with a Hotchkiss H35 and it's accompanying Canon de 25 modele 1934.
It's a real oldy and a subject that I normally don't build. I had it lying around and I will do it OOTB.
Wish me luck....

I'm in, I just have to work out the details of the dio I'm gonna build and get the AM bits and maybe another figure set

I enlisted and I am ready to blow the dust off of that Panzer I kit that I have had sitting on the shelf that I mentioned when this campaign idea was first discussed.

This should be a cool campaign.

Thanks guys

For people I kno its just taken a dive agian one of my friends dad died over the weekend its been really bad luck for my family this month like my uncle dieing, my grandma getting lung cancer, and now this wow!!


MATT

hello Matt,
i am sorry for your loses.there is only one thing i know that has always helped me,Prayer.
they say that bad things come in 3's,so maybe the bad news is over.
I have asked a priest to remember you and your family in daily mass,hope it helps.
Again if you need anything,please ask.
Cheers,
Bruce

Hello Matt, hi Everybody,
I've just ordered few kits for this campaign. As soon as I receive them I'm joining this group-build (I will wait untill delivery - I don't want to sign in and then find out that I have nothing to build).
It seems that I'm first representative of blitzkrieged Poland in this forum so far .

By the way, I've seen questions concerning Soviet invasion - it took place September 17th '39 - timeframe matches the campaign rules, but I think that's up to Matt to decide if Soviet invasion is accepted. Blitzkrieg was German strategy and Soviet Union was not at war with Germany untill summer '42.

Matt, I'm sorry for your loses... I hope that you're Grandmother will get better soon!

Andrzej

hello Andrzej,
unless Matt over rides me,the Soviet invastion of Poland is o.k. for this campaign.so would be the invastion of of Finland by the Soviets.
it will be nice to see a Polish side for this campaign,there are a lot of Tanks used by Polish troops out there.
cheers,
Bruce

But remeber my first post I'll think about it


MATT

I'm just checking the Desert War is included in this campaign right




MATT

I want to build a diorama with TK-3 abandoned in the field (or on the side of a road) and few German soldiers escorting Polish POW officer. As soon as I get these kits I enlist.

Hi Matt,
I thought it was Europe '39-'41, right?

hello Matt,
i thought we decided it was just Europe only.the next installment was going to be Africa,after the Blitzkrieg campaign was over.if we choose to include Afirca this campaign is going to be a "super campaign" and it will be hard to control.
remember this is your campaign so you must make this decision. my vote is a NO for a desert part for this campaign.
cheers,
Bruce

hello all,
does anyone know where i can get a 1/35 7.5cm german howitzer plastic kit.
cheers,
Bruce

Bruce, I'm not sure if 7,5 was considered howitzer - I've seen few Pak models with that caliber.
I've seen few models of 10,5howitzers

It costs about 35 USD. Maybe it will suit you well

Are vehicles a must (dumb question for an armor site ), it's just I haev an idea that doesn't involve vehicles and one that does or I could combine the two, I just need clarification

Well guys death came knocking on my front door agian this time it was my friend's grilfriend after doin a 1 month battle with Leukemia her parents at 12:00 today took her off life support



MATT

Good God, Matt....

Looks like you are in the firingline, somehow...
You have my thoughts and try to keep your chin up! There will be light at the end of the tunnel!!

Take care!!
