So, does it have to have a 1:1 counterpart, or are "what if's" allowed?

Jim, I think rule 7 covers that.

Richard, when are you thinking of starting this? I'm hoping you'll say 2nd quarter of next year. What I'd build I have no idea but it will give me something to think about in the mean time.

So something like this?

Hi Luciano,
The campaign start is not upto me but the second quarter would work for me
Love the photo! that would be something along the lines of the campaign from an auto point of view.

No problem Richard.

Does this cover aircraft and autos?

Guess it would have helped if I'd have read all of the rules. Duh!

I have no end of civil airliner projects in the pipe, so this is a natural for me.
This one is itching to get built

An excellent idea for a Campaign
At last a Campaign that shows the 'alternate' uses for de-mobbed equipment .
So many choices , but I'm thinking of a photo of a "modified" Renault FT-17 towing a canal barge (post WWI).
I'm in - boots and all
