Hi guys!
Is there any interest in a campaign focusing on the unsung heroes of vehicle warfare?
Trucks, half-tracks, prime movers, horse & cart, fork-lifts, caterpillars etc. etc.
Any era, any army, any scale.
Basically anything in military use without guns (towed guns would be OK). I'm thinking the like of staff-cars & motorbikes should be excluded so the focus would be on heavier duty vehicles!

Nice idea. I have a Hobby boss M4 the 8in version I sort of started (I think I only did one of the idlers and one of the road wheels.) If that would be allowable I'd be in.

Count me in!

I'll toss my hat in on this! I have a few softskins looking for excuses to build without adding a gun to them somewhere!

I just picked up a Tamiya Universal Carrier at a second hand store. Would that make the cut?

hmm I suppose if you made an unarmed version? Not sure if that is a feasible option

Would a Bergepanzer IV or Pzkpfw IV Ausf D/E Fahrgestell qualify?
If not I have both early and late production versions of the SdKfz 7 I could do.

I think it has a machine gun for self-defense, but otherwise unarmed--just a carrier.

I think we should keep it to unarmed vehicles for a clearer distinction.
So the bergepanzer would be ok since it's a rebuilt fighting vehicle. Similar to for example a MK.IV Baggage tank.
The carrier would then be excluded together with other ifv's and vehicles designed more for the frontline.
Sounds fair?

Good question. I would almost leave that to the campaign manager to fit it into the schedule but say 10-12 months or something like that?

After taking another look at the kit I have I see it does have the integrated MG, so clearly not meant for this campaign.

Hi Johan,
Just now I've seen your proposal for a campaign focused on workhorses. I like the idea.
I.m.o, this beautiful baby is a great workhorse:
So, if the campaign will be approved, of course I'm IN with this.
Cheers
Giovanni

The RSO is a great pick! There is also a wide range for weathering possibilities there...
