Luca,
There is currently a D-Day Armor Campaign running right now here
https://armorama.kitmaker.net/modules.php?op=modload&name=Campaigns&file=index&req=showcontent&id=604
It goes until 6 June of 2013 so your timing may be off a bit with this suggestion

Hi sal,
I see where your coming from, but i intended this as a diorama campaign on normandy, not armor/afv. Your point is valid, this is why i said you could use a ,odel from other campaigns ( dday armor for example) as long as you buil a kit for the diorama whether it be figure another afv, bunker.

Sal is kinda on the right track there. I'd wait 'till the D-Day Campaign is over and then push your idea OR, in the meantime come up with another one? I do think you have a great idea and would hold onto it.
I'd suggest an Armored Car Campaign (if you're open to suggestions) which has really been over-looked but that's just something that I thought up.
Really.

I think it would be appropriate to hold this one immediately on the heels of the D-Day armor campaign.

From the D-Day Campaign rules.
The purpose of this campaign is to model a historical armored vehicle - Allied or Axis - that was in action between the Caen - Cherbourg road and the coast between June 6th and June 9th - included - 1944.
So I think a campaign set on events after June 9th 1944 could work. There's ample subject material after the landings. A few examples; Operation Goodwood July 18-20. Falaise Pocket. Operation Cobra July 25-31 1944. I'd even include the Battle of Caen. You'd just have to decide on an end date...maybe the Liberation of Paris.
