I would gladly give the banner a shot. All I need is some suggestions which I can feed on. Anyone have any good ideas?

Cheers!

*Edit*: By the way, why doesn't the campaign appear in the Debarkation Zone? I think many people would find it easier to sign up if it were there.

Hey,

all you have to do is follow the link Matt posted (What If Campaign) and click "Enlist" on the right. If you can't see the "Enlist" button then that probably means you're not logged in.

Quoting ZombieKraut- Mike

"All I need is some suggestions which I can feed on. Anyone have any good ideas?"

I do not know that they are "good ideas" but.....Here are a couple that I have been kicking around for years- but probably won't use.

1) Modern-Russia & China have a border dispute and the US provides Russia with M1A2's "Lend Lease" style.

2) WWII- remember the D-Day Mulberry docks? How about an engineering vehicle which would be used to "winch" the sections into position? Something like a Bergepanther but Allied .... a Stuart or Sherman chassis open in the center with an enormous winch drum.

Post your discarded ideas - I could use some inspiration too.

I'm in now!

How about a banner with a silhouette of a Maus? Something with ??? marks?
A silhouette of the Kremlin burning?

What resources does the website have for the banners and ribbons?

I like some of those ideas we could do somthing like a the statue of liberty on one side and maybe a modern T2K type senario on the otherside and somthing with ???????? marks in the middle.

Just want to say thank you to you all for supporting and signing up to the campaign thought i would only start it on the 1st of june to give you time to plan what you want to do.

This should be a good one can't wait to see what you all come up with.

I'm in. Although I'm a slow builder the end date should allow me to get in at least one entry.

I think I'll be looking at something in the vein of Len Deighton's brilliant book SS-GB about Nazi occupied Britain in 1941. Maybe an armored car and an SS pacification squad or a group of British fascists enforcing curfew. Should be fun!

Enlisted.

I know what I will build...hope I can get a good kit of the vehicle I like to use.

Fortunately this short-period campaign will end right before the FIFA Worldcup 2010 will begin.

What a great idea, I have some thoughts about some T2K vehicles, aircraft and figures. I think maybe a diorama showing the forces involved in the second American civil war of Civgov vs. Milgov, after the nuclear Twilight War.

I'll give it a shot. It'll only be my first campeign, but you gotta start somewhere! I was thinking of doing something based in WW2, possibly German, and with a bit of...bite. Something to the effect of the tree clearer thing in Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, although I'm still toying with ideas.

Because almost everyone has Russian, German, and American items, we should have the war between the U.S., Russia, and Germany of every time period.

No- What is that?
Is it like the Hearts of Iron games where you can affect the outcome of WWII?
