Status: offline 		I just would like to thank each of you for the great responses to this thread. If another Mega Campaign on Stalingrad comes about, it would be more on the lines of Operations Blau, Burnswick, and Winter Storm. Other Ideas involve Kursk as well as western front ideas such as the Normandy campaign. If there is a great interest in Mega Camapigns then please let David Heath, Wild Bill, Paul Vebber, and all the Matrix staff know. After working on these mega campaigns, I have learned much about the potential for design these offer. I hope that another Mega Campaign can come about in the near future. Whatever the Front is or the battle depicted will it will be a winner Happy and joyous gaming fun to you all

This is the best idea yet, the one I would go for in a big, big way. Germans seem to dominate the WW2 gaming idea pool. Our airborne - eithr division, really - was the equal of any leg troopers in WW2. Even grumpy Max Hastings has to admit how good they were. I would add to Kuroshios's fine idea: Allow an equivalent of the "Victors" option, the Allies continue the fight after the 1945 victory, against the Soviet Union. New and better weapons could be introduced, including but certainly not limited to jet aircraft. Count my vote for a MC centered on my beloved "Devils in Baggy Pants". Bing

Status: offline 		I´d rather see the east-front efforts going into Combat Leader than another MC... Currently about halfway trough Desert Fox and while it´s very enjoyable most of the time and the scenarios are diverse, the setting and equipment can get a bit tired after a while. Most dunes look the same and the fact that I now know the armour thickness and slopes of every British ´41 tank by heart by now isn´t necessarily a good thing. I think the idea of following a unit through the war is a good idea. What i´d really like to see though, is themed MC´s in this vein - MC: "Airborne"
A Collection of 2 shorter MC´s follow Airborne units from US (82nd is a great option)and Germany (from Norway, Belgium and Crete to the ending as an elite mechanized unit on the west front). The more ´epic´ scope would allow for a great diversity in both missions and equipment and an opportunity to participate in several of the wars most spectacular and bloody battles
