Looking to run an Afghanistan Campaign starting Nov. 2011 and running till July 2012. Any war in Afghanistan is acceptable. 1/72-1/35. Must be original kit for this campaign. All figures, armor, softskins and helos from the specific war are acceptable. No restrictions on am parts. Let me know what you think.

Starting in November will ensure everyone that wants to enlist will have time to finish their build.

Sure thing Anthony. If it makes campaign status, I'm in with Zvezda's BTR-70 Afghanistan version and riders.

The history of Afghanistan, sadly, contains centuries of warfare. Can we do the British in the 1800's? of even Alexander the Great ? or is it just the modern stuff?

I'm right that you're including helicopters? You should cross-post over on Aeroscale and I'm sure you'll drum up some interest.

Time frame is WWI-present. I'll be cross posting to aeroscale this evening. Glad to see so much interest. I'm surprised nobody thought of it before. Having most of the world involved in Afghanistan over the past 80 years should really open up the possibilities for this campaign. I know I am looking forward to it. Looks like we will be a go by the end of the week.

Maybe Trumpeter will release its Buffalo in time. I've been itching to build one, but unwilling to shell out $$$ for the resin kit.

That's enough to make it official. I need your opinions on a good start date. I think I will run this one for 6-8 months, so everbody has time to finish.

Count me in!
Looking at the current schedule there's no good time to start. There are already a few ending and a few starting every month, so just go for something like start of March. Gives people some time to place orders if required.

I might be in, but I am confused on a point, originally you state any way from A'stan history and then it becomes 20th/21st Century; so Britsh Victorian is out?
