The ideas should all be incorporated into the description for the combined official Campaign.

Splitting the list into eras like this?
WWI (up to 1935)
WWI Other Fronts
Between the wars
Balloon Busters (5 balloon kills or more)
Under different colours
Bloody April
-------------------------------------------------------
WWII (up to 1949)
Malta
Under different colours
Sino-Japanese War....(Asia Campaign)
[b]Pearl Harbor, Battle of Coral Sea, Midway, Guadalcanal, Milne Bay and Bismarck Sea, Bombing of Darwing....(Pacific Campaign)
All these except Guadalcanal, Milne Bay and Bismarck Sea was in the first half of 1942. But I squeeze them all together and made one Campaign of them. We can call the campaign "The turn of the tide", when things started to go the right way for the Allies.
[b]Operation "Judgement" "Carthage" "Jericho" "Doolittle Raid" "Tank destroyers" "Anti shipping and Black Cats & Dumbos...(Down To Earth Campaign)
This I made to one as well. Here we can have everything that has anything to do with strafing and so on....
Cats (Wildcat, Hellcat, Bearcat, Tigercat.....)....(Ironworks Campaign)
Pathfinders
Defense of the Empire, Reich....(Defense Campaign)
Blitzkrieg

Something like this maybe Rowan? The campaign names are just so that I new what I was doing...lol!
I put some campaigns together as "specials" since you could find in more than one war etc.
Let me know if you want me to try cut down any further fellows....this is good fun.
Hi again
Just another note - because I know people can put a lot of thought and research into their Campaign ideas. I hope I didn't sound dismissive in saying topics like all the Pacific Theatre scenarios need compacting/compiling; this was in no way trashing the ideas for the individual suggestions - they are ALL great - it's just a shock that there are so many of them!
All the best
Rowan

Cheers Jan
Campaigns can be a touchy subject - you've not been around long enough to remember some of the "fun" we had as part of the old Armorama. Some folks put a lot of effort into preparing their ideas and can be very "up-front" (shall we say) in defending / promoting them...
But we're a far happier and more tolerent breed here on Aeroscale - and long may it continue.
All the best
Rowan
Hi Rowan...I'll try to come up with something as well for Club 1935 (where's JackFlash when you need him?), I'll look around to get some ideas.

Splitting the list into eras like this?
WWI (up to 1935)
Balloon Busters (5 balloon kills or more)
Under different colours
Bloody April
"In Enemy Hands." Real captured aircraft that were used for evals fighter schools by both sides of the lines.1915-1918 I have some great references to share.
"When I Flew with..." Pick the real fighter unit you would have flown with and add your own personalized markings Allied or Central powers.
"Dual of the aces" Pick someone to build against. Build opposing aircraft as your favorite ace or just be yourself. Describe in a narrative the combat moves that you would use against each other. The more colourful the aircraft the more colourful the narrative.
"Bloody April 1917" Build an history correct - ace's mount from Allied or Central Powers and his victim. Describing in the best detail you can the fateful combat.
"Enemy Ace vs G-8 and his Battle Aces, Pulp Fiction" Whether its was from the 1930's or the 1960's pulp book or comic book heroes. 1918 Markings per the books you reference.
"Ginger to the rescue..." Sign up with either British or German units opposing each other and go up on patrol. Describing the slug fest and try to out do each other. The advantage here is the markings and colour schemes are wide open.

For Early Aviation I would like to suggest...

The ones we don't use now we can save for coming years.

Jan,
Milne Bay is on the South Eastern Peninsula of New Guinea, it would fall into the Pacific group that you have for Coral Sea, Guardalcanal, Soloman Islands, Rabaul.
Hope this helps.
Hi all!
Now we must find a way to vote... any suggestions? I thought of something similar to the MOM: 3 votes with choice n°1 = 3pts, choice n°2 = 2 pts and choice n°3 = 1 pts.
I also think we should start a voting thread once we are ready...
