So, here's a thought. A campaign dedicated to General George S. Patton. Any vehicle under his command or (for those Germanophiles) any vehicle which fought against him. Must be in the colors and markings of a particular unit which fits the above.
What does everyone think?

And what about the Patton tanks ? M46 / M47 / M48 / M60 ?

Well, that would be a departure from the main rule. But given the situation, I think it would be a legitimate exception. So I would say yes:
Vehicles of or faced by units under Patton's command (must be in appropriate colors/markings).
Any Patton tank (M-46, 47, 48 and 60, I believe).
How does that sound?

Cheers

Hey Michael!
I would be more interested in this Campaign (just don't tell John) if it were just about the vehicles used in Pattons WWII forces.
The commemorative tanks named after him had really nothing to do with PATTON.
I have a Warriors George S. Patton figure I'd like to use (along with a vehicle of some sort)
so I would be 'IN' if it went that way and be a part of your Campaign.
Have a great day everyone!
Jeff

What about a Patton tank painted like a Panzer for the movie "Patton"?
Regardless, I might be interested. I have to see how the coming year shapes up. But if you need the extra body to get it approved count me in.
Probably something from the North African fighting.

Okay, we have 5 so far? If you guys want this to fly... jump in and say so because we ARE going into the busy time of the year for building and there are a lot of Campaigns already scheduled.
I know I can squeeze another in.

I thought this one was a non-starter but it sounds like there may still be interest. I'm certainly still game for it! Anyone else?

Had an Uncle who served under Patton in 44 & 45 so I would certainly join up just to have another excuse to build his tank.
