I've already suggested this campaign to the powers that be.... Single figure or vignette (max.4 figures) any scale,any period. However they all have to be Airborne troops....Hence the call-sign Pegasus for the campaign... All feedback invited...Jim

im up for that, good idea Jim.

JIm:
I'm in. I got a butt-load of 101st and 82nd abn figs I need to build... now should I do modern or WWII? Do Airborne qualifed troops count (i.e. US Rangers or SAS) ?
What kind of deadline are we looking at. I say late December sometime.

Nate, I dunno, I'm gonna need some help on this one as this is this first campaign I've proposed...I personally think that Special Forces SHOULD be included...sorry It slipped my memory altogether. Keep the feed back coming guys,with this i'm a total beginner....Jim

i would say that they should definately be included.
after all they are all para trained and a lot of special forces will have started of their careers in airborne regiments.

JIm:
I've never started a campaign either. But special forces seem to be a good idea and perhaps should go into a sub category if we get enough participants, or lump 'em all together for the ease of it.
This should be pretty cool. As far as a deadline I see some of the proposed builds are already being scheduled for next spring, there seems to be a rash of campaigns at the moment. I'd say just pick a date and see what people say.
You may want to post this (or a similar post) in figures as well to give people a heads up...

Why don't we keep it simple. just figures no Wacos,no Ju-52s, no 1:35th C-17s, just figures...Agreed? #:-) Jim

Roger that.... who would suggest such a silly thing as building an A/C?

Next question is completion date.....

Sounds really good!!! count me in! || )

Is this for my benefit????!!!!!!!!!!

Jeez Dave, you know us better than that..... let's just keep it nice and simple...no a/c, no gliders, just some figures..up to 4 figures, simple base (mixed nationalities if it has to be),even you Dave cannot put an ME109 in this...... Oh jeez,what did I just say.... #:-)

if we're talking special forces then,
Theres a certain unofficial saying that you should all know about (if you're a brit then you'll know it!)
it goes like this -

" WE ARE THE PILGRIMS, MASTER; WE SHALL GO ALWAYS A LITTLE FURTHER."

Dave:
You suggested A/C? How could that be, an exclusive armor builder like yourself.
Ok, I've got my subject, something off the beaten path....

would verlindins new german para count as he's bout to do "one" from the door of the ju 52

I really should have put this up in the figure forums....lol (++)

If it has a single armor plate, or the one in it wear a flak vest, it's armored subject!

What about air cav? Do they count? Helicopter delivered troops?

Shaun

The Verlinden German figure fits hardcore. That's a pretty cool figure to start with.
I dunno about heliborne troops.... suggestions?

I think that I would like to join this campaign, it would be my first one!

Maybe it should be "any soldiers that are air-landed", which would include; paras, rangers, special ops, air-mobile. maybe even the airforces "PJ's".

Myself, I have had a thing for the British Airborne Division ever since I saw "A bridge too far" when I was about 8 (my uncle and I watched it just about every Christmas after that, well that and Zulu!).

But hmm, I think a Port Stanley dio would be cool...

This sound like a lot of fun!
Chris :-)
