Hi All,
I was chatting with a co-worker today who is a big history buff and the questions was raised: what if Britain and France actually REALLY assaulted Germany in September 1939 when the Germans invaded Poland? My feeling is that the Allies would have gotten halfway across Germany before the bulk of the German army was disengaged from Poland (leaving enough troops there to hold things together). Then the real interesting stuff would begin. It kind of inspired me to build a French or British tank in urban camo for fighting in ruined German cities (think Cahr B1's in green, gray and brown or equally camo'ed British AFV's). what do you think?
Regards,
Georg

Why not? Sounds interesting actually. Something early, that shouts British or French in the middle of Germany, would be eye catching to say the least. Will be interesting to see what you come up with Georg.

There's a thought that does not come up very often, it would be very interesting to see waht you come up with for a scheme.

It would be a nice 'What If' situation, a change from the usual 1946 Paper Panzers Dio's.
A couple of Somua or char B1's with Cruisers in Dortmund or Dusseldorf, it would be nice
