I like the idea, but I can guarantee what the vast majority of people will build: WWII Allied vehicles in German hands. It would be nice to see some of the opposite, but I doubt that we will.

Would it be confined strictly to WWII or would it be open to other conflicts as well?

I'm in but would suggest waiting until after the Barbarossa campaign due to the large number of participants. I think most of us will have our hands full with that in addition to all of our other ongoing projects.

air warrior,
yes waiting till the next campaign is over is a good idea as it'll push it though
till winter and long dark cold nights were it's not much fun to ride my lambretta
I was asked by the website staff to post the details of the campaign to see what kind of
response it got and it looks like a good one any way by putting it back means theres
more time to look for ideas i've a picture in a book somewere with a battery of stugs in
russian service heading to the front. May be the only rule to have some evidence of the
equipment in use in enemy hands ie one photo any one else have any ideas?

Having one picture of the the type of vehicle you are modeling in the hands of the country you are modeling it as being in possession of sounds fair to me. There are plenty of pictures of captured vehicles out there.

Something like this:


and this??



I really like this idea If this campaign gets a go I might suggest looking on this site for maybe a little inspiration.

This is a site with a lot of vehicles not in original use
