Hello all,
In looking at the Campaigns ending and beginning in 2010. With only 1 starting (Flattops) and 2 ending (Camouflage and Divine Water) around June 2010, I was wondering if anyone would be interested in a Campaign Staring the Ships of the Soviet Union.
It would start June-July 2010 and run till February-March 2011. Any and all Soviet Ships would would be allowed.
Let me know what you think.
Cheers,
Bruce

hi Bruce, hope you are well!

any interested in this one? I have a couple of Kirov modern cruisers (Dragon) I can build for this one, I just love how the modern soviet cruisers look.

Hello James,
Everything is working right, so far. I think that the Doc's got it right this time.
As per the campaign suggestion, You are the only one interested so far. With the Community build ending and Summer starting I think that some of the others might get interested in this campaign. But i have been wrong before.
I hope alls well with everyone in your Family.
Cheers,
Bruce

I like the idea. Don't forget, the Soviets received several foreign built ships during WW2.

Hello All,
There is a new book out about the Soviet Navy 1920 till the breakup. I cannot remember the name of the book, I saw it on one of the many sites I go to.
I will keep looking for it. It has all of the ship classes in it along with time in service and where the ship went.
It look like a very interesting book, to me.
By my count we have 3 interested in this campaign. We need at least 5 more before I submit it to Mark.
Cheers,
Bruce

Hello All,
With 9 wanting to make this campaign a go,I will submitt it to Mark.
I was thinking of a duration of 10 months starting Dec 31st 2010 and ending Oct. 31st 2011. how does that sound.
Cheers,
Bruce

Sounds Good to me I have a small Red Fleet =)

That should do the trick!

Bruce Hope I can make the numbers up here will do the ill fated Kursk from Tamiya
Keith

I am in either way, maybe switch to another 1:700 sub, Alfa class.

Hi Bruce,

Has there been any movement on this Campaign idea? I just picked up a 1/350 Sovremenny and was looking forward to this group.

Thanks,

Daniel Chavez

I may be able to get my hands on something if this campaign is still a go. Let us know Bruce

I have the 1/700 Moskva Slava Class Cruiser so I'm good for this campaign.

Since Bruce is down for the count for the next several months, would it be possible to start this campaign in his absence and turn the reigns back over to him when he returns? I would be more than happy to step up and hold the fort in his absence with the understanding that I would only be acting as deputy.

Jeremy-
IMHO it would be OK to start witrhout Bruce and hand the rudder back to him upon return. However the start/end dates would have to be moved, anyway. So we might as well wait for 3-4 months and see, if Bruce will get back on deck by then.
Cheers,
Guido

Whatever works, I'm in no rush myself but would be happy to support his campaign if it is preferable to start while he is still recovering. I know he'll be itching to get back to his Blitz campaign and is probably working on getting the next Blitz campaign set up, so I'm not to worried about him being absent for too long

Hello All,
I will be in the drydock till june atleast so go ahead and start it if you want to.
After the heart surgery, I had a stroke But with the med's and the PT I will be getting I should be back by June at full strength.
I will be keeping an eye on all of my old campaigns and this one as much as I can with out letting " Nurse Ratchet" catching me on my laptop.
It is good to be back,
Cheers,
Bruce

It's great to here from ya Bruce! Glad to know you're doing well and can sneak in some time on the laptop

I have no problem waiting until June, but I'll be happy to watch over things for you if you want to start this campaign earlier

Bruce-
Take your time and don't rush it. In the end your health the most important thing!
Cheers,
Guido

Hello All,
The Doc's want me to take it very easy this year, So I can only run 1 campaign this year and I am going to save it for blitz 4: Russia .
So Please go ahead and start the campaign with out me. I will stay on the side- line and cheer all of you on and Maybe be able to model something as part of the Rehab. I have talked to them and working with me hands is part of getting back movement after a stroke. It left me with no movement on the left side of my body right know. After I get done with Rehab they think I should have about 80% to 90% of my left side fully back.
So again go ahead and start the campaign.
Cheers,
Bruce

Well, good luck with your rehab.
Be aware that initially the progress is quick, but from a cvertain point it's most hard work to get back to normal. My father-in-law has had a number of strokes and he recovered 99% to what he could do before. Keep you head up as you do right now, because "wanting it" is a good motor for rehab!

Jeremy-
I guess that's the green light for you taking over!

Cheers,
Guido

That's very promising Bruce, and it sounds like you are likely to get more than that back Keep us updated, and count on me to join you for Blitz 4

If we're still a go gents then I will go ahead and submit a new form.
Bruce, is there anything specific that you wanted included in the campaign submission?
And what time frame is everyone comfortable with here?
