A scenario contest where you come up with a playable scenario for obscure armies or units for any period (for example, Dutch in 1940, one of my favorites). Scenarios would be rated for playability, historiocity (for those scenarios that are historically based) and quality of presentation. This contest meant to shine the spotlight on armies that don't normally get it and give them "their day in the sun". |

Yeah! They can square off against 1:6000 World War 2 Belgians! |

Might be interesting when the other contestants have to play your scenario
1:6000 naval proxies for 1940 Dutch? Why not just try a "Dutch in 1940" contest, and see if enough people will volunteer? |

Guys, they have the Dutch fleet in 1/6000 already. Running the DEI campaigns for 1941 would be great. Ditto for running a partial "Battle of the English Channel" breakout fro the Dutch Fleet away from the Germans. There are loads of great ideas for the Dutch. I'd like to do something with the Russians Vs. Tirpitz or Bismarck. |

Make one for the battle that took place in the ME, early in WWII (Damascus I think) between the Free French Foreign Legion and the Vichy French Foreign Legion. Both forces had approx a Btl sized force. |

Mark and Steve.. Just you wait
orders for Dutch WW2 Fleets are up 200% this year! I think it has something to do with the release of my new ruleset, "Wooden Shoes and Iron Men." — Gregg Strange Cargo Games strangecargogames.com |
