.........thanks to all the followers and readers.
My new project is shown below with the help of a map which will be gamed in 20mm and a year later than originally planned (1940) and comes under a what if? (well really...... WTF?) scenario with a lot of things having to go a different way, very few troops getting off Dunkirk, the french fleet at Mers-el-Kebir being captured or handed over, the pact with Stalin been honoured for a few years, more support for Rommel in the desert to secure oil, stuck to attacking the airfields and not the cities, not allying themselves with Japan etc........
I know it's fantasy but I love what ifs? and currently reading Fatherland by Robert Harris which is set in Berlin in 1964 and it's reasons for winning the war are quite plausible. So at the moment I'm painting 20mm figures for this project and hope to pick up some bits and pieces at Salute and I am also meeting some fellow bloggers there aswell, if you're going to Salute 2011 on Saturday the 16th have a good one.
Woohoo! Go you Lurker. And looky here, I'm the first to comment. Happy 500th!

Congratz , also new project looks cool hehe
ReplyDeleteWow that is an awesome scenario. How big is the playing field going to be?
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the 500...well deserved.
ReplyDeleteWhat If's are great and Fatherland is such a cool, and a little scary, book. It is so plausible and the propaganda never does justice to how close some things were.
congratulations Lurker. Stay Angry :)

ReplyDeleteNot only that, but one out of ten plus have commented on this post. That's a pretty high rate.

500 extremely well deserved followers, my friend! I love coming to this blog, and I'm really eager to see you guys play out the Operation Sealion scenario.
ReplyDeleteFran - when youve finsihed with Fatherland (great book), try Len Deighton's "SS-GB" which is set in German occupied Britain in 1941. Good read!
