Operation Cover-Up ..... Campaign Rules

Bren will be leading the campaign with Plastic Battle as 2nd in command.

Start date: 5 November 2003 (AD) ..so we start with a bang! End Date: 1 February 2004 (AD)

It will not be a competition and there are not many rules, so as to keep it fun and to have a wide range of entries.

1- The diorama must have trench, weapons pit, foxhole, gun emplacement or even a dug in tank. In fact any type of cover ... man-made or natural!

2- the diorama may contain as many tanks, figures, crashed planes or corpses as you want
or even abandoned trenches

3- any scale, any army, any date from WW1 to Modern.

4- at least 3 photos must be shown of the completed diorama.

5- at the end Bren will make a MSN Photo folder thingie for all the photos of the campaign

6- a medal, kindly custom designed by FAUST will be awarded to all succesful completions.

7- ALL USERS WISHING TO ENTER, BUT HAVE ALL READY STARTED, KINDLY PLACE YOUR DIORAMAS TO THE SIDE UNTIL 5 NOVEMBER THEN START AGAIN.

8- ALL DIORAMAS MUST HAVE A FLAG OR OVERHEAD IDENTIFICATION FLAG AS THE LINKING OBJECT (X-factor) FOR ALL THE DIORAMAS

Signed up yesterday. :-) What does it mean you have to have a flag, is it like a flag on a pole by the trench? And what is the X factor, have you guy decided yet? Thanks.

I signed up erlier today... Ya I was trying to figure out the flag thing too. =D

I am assuming it can be any type of a flag. You could have it on a flag pole or if you had a bunker you cold have it on the roof (for air recognition) or it could be on the ground all torn up.

i believe that the x-factor is the flag guys. that was to my understanding anyway

wath do you mean by this:

8- ALL DIORAMAS MUST HAVE A FLAG OR OVERHEAD IDENTIFICATION FLAG AS THE LINKING OBJECT (X-factor) FOR ALL THE DIORAMAS

hi, again a question about the flag: what do you have to paint on it, your own signature?????? inform me

Laurie

In the very frist diorama campaign ... the X-factor was a window. This meant that there had to be a window in the dio. Didnt matter how it was modelled or where. It could have been a house ruin, a shed, a vehicle etc. it could be intact or damaged ... but a window had to be included.
Bren and I talked a bit about this X-factor and thought it was a good idea to include it. It may take some imagination as to where a flag will used in a dio but thats half the fun. A flag must be visible, but to what the flag is, is up to you. It could be a flag at a control emlacement, it could be a overhead recognition flag ... it could be folded on shelf in a bunker, wrapped around an injured soldier to keep him warm. The choice is yours ... but ther must be a flag!!
As there is no set time when your dio has to be placed ... it could be an permanent Isreali control point with their flag flying ....... or a Palestine protester with an flag tied around his neck taking cover behind an overturned car. Imagination is needed!
Hopefully you get the idea from this!
