Can you elaborate? German blitz... or the strategy i.e. americans in OIF, etc?
I would be interested either way. But a campaign for next year some time.

hello Matt,
do you mean Blitzkrieg as in Poland 1939,Denmark/Norway 1940,or France 1940,etc.a compaign next year for Poland 1939 will have my vote.there is some new Polish tanks,armored cars,etc. out that looks like a good build.
cheers,
Bruce

I might be swayed into a Blitz 39 Poland campaign. I have a couple ideas I would like to build and something along that time line would fit right into my idea.

I think this sounds good, though i'd personally like it to span all of the early blitzkreig campaigns, ie. Poland to the Balkans, as that allows for a bit more variety me-thinks.

Definitely interested in this one! I'm signed up for the pacific campaign so March would be good for me . Always fancied doing a retreat to Dunkirk dio so what an opportunity.

Hi guys,
If the Blitzkrieg during may 1940 is also allowed (the German occupation of Holland) I'd be very interested

Sounds good. But remember the Balkans campaign was May of 41, not May of 40. So 9/1/39 to 5/1/41

hello Matt,
how about this name:Blitzkrieg the early years 9/1/39-5/1/41
cheers,

hello Matt,
either,some may want to do a dio others just a model.if just a model it should be a unit in volved in that campaign.as is a pz1 in poland with a certain unit:pz. regt.1/5th company/2nd zug/tank #4 1st panzer division.basicly if you do a model for the greece campaign it should be part of the units involved.but i would not be to picky as going to name the tank and unit.we are not pros building,just having fun

hello Matt,
i have some others thoughts about the campaign.i think that it should be Europe only.lets leave out north africa.that will open the campaign to just about any vehicles.also is this just armor or can it also be also softskin vehicles.this is your call.my thoughts are any and all weapons used in the time period.what do you think.
cheers,
Bruce
