I don't know if this had been done before, but I can't keep it out of my head. It could be titled "CAUGHT!" or "GOTCHA!". Cheeky huh?
Since I've seen those pictures of Universal Carriers captured by the Germans and modified to carry panzershcrecks, mounted with Pak 35 or plainly in German desert camo with the Balkankreuz. I remembered that the Soviets themselves caught a number of German tanks and used it themselves. So what about a campaign about countries using captured enemy equiptments. Be it tanks, jeeps, trucks etc.. The Skoda 38t is a very obvious candidate.
Like my previous idea of a campaign about armour/vehicles indigenous to countries which are not as popularly modelled which I'm not willing to handle.
Anyone of you who want's to take this up is welcome. Again, I'm too lazy to take up a campaign. So who wants it first gets it.

Sounds very interesting, I think I'll join this one, as long as it's not before somewhere in June.....
And maybe I'd like to be campaign leader....if I just knew all of my responsibilities :-) If it's just something like being moderator on a forum.....

Sounds like a very good idea. I was even thinking entries can be small...like two Special Forces figures going after a rogue Stinger SAM or even a briefcase.
I don't have any recommendation for a start time though, but I will be keeping my eye on this campaign idea and may join depending on the rules.

I think someone posted a similar idea a while back. If you do a search for a campaign idea called "Under New Ownership" or something like that you may find it. Basically a captured vehicle GB.

So whoever's going to take charge, count me in. I've already got several ideas in my head.

I suggested a build like this some time ago but it fell by the wayside I've been trying to get it off the ground for 2 years

The idea sounds nice, but I would like to add a twist.. do it similarly to the 'Double take' campaign that is going on now.
So, you could do a Leopard II in panzergelb, or a Famo in 3 tone nato scheme
Just a thought.
