Is anyone interested in a battleship themed campaign? I was thinking any warship commissioned after 1900 that has a main armament bigger than 8 inches (battleships, battlecruisers, dreadnoughts, etc) and calling it "Big Guns". I imagine that the best time to start this would be in the June 2010 time frame but that would be up to those interested.

I would even like to open it up to any theoretical warships since very few campaigns allow any “what if” scenarios.

Oh, this is funny. I ran Big Guns II over at Armorama. I got the idea after listening to the song Big Guns by AC/DC.

So, it seems the idea has made its way to MSW.

Well, in Jan 2010 we start a carrier campaign. A cruiser campaign has been suggested and now a battleship campaign. I like the idea my self. It could be "Big Guns III: On The Sea"

I just love sequels.

I am in of course, as long as it starts in 2010

Yep, let's do it for next year!

Sweet, I'll keep an eye on the proposed cruisers campaign so I dont cause a conflict.

What do you all think about starting 1 March 2010 and going until 1 March 2011?

Also I was thinking about opening this up to anything with a big gun to include ground artillery and inviting the guys over at Armorama. Any objections?

Sounds good to me.

I'd be up for it if the IJN Fuso would count as the build. The wife's been trying to get me cut down on the spending and build my stash.

I have a Kongo and Hei that need to be done as well. Heck, I have a whole bunch that need to be done.

LOL

I have a few battlewagons in the stash.

I kind of quit doing campaigns a couple of years back, but might be up for somehing like this. I also need to check out the cruiser and carrier offerings

Looks like we'll have a lot of bases covered in 2010: there's already an aircraft carrier theme, and likely a cruiser, and this battleship proposal.

I think we should. I love the Naval Big Guns idea. (I did a Big Guns on Armorama)

Plus the cruiser idea as well.

So, who is going to set em up fellas??

I'll submit it in a day or so. I want to see if anyone over at Armorama is interested first.

I submitted the campaign, I will post a sign up link here once it is approved.

Good to see this being submitted. Click on the link below to go to the campaign and enlist.

Thanks, I couldn't set the end date past Dec 10 so if we end up needeing to extend then we will.

I'm in it. Don't know what I'll do, but as I have a pile of BB's somthing will be chosen. Just going to have to delay doing the Akagi, might do the Shokaku in January as it appears much simpler. Haven't done a campaign in a long time, other than build the kit in the time frame allotted and submit a built picture is there anything else required?

All signed up. Now, can I get a chance to actually build something.

I'll think I'll do the Washington. I have enough other kits in the stack to keep me going until March

Come on Fellas!! Half way to getting thos one approved.

We need five more of you out there!

I just signed up. I'll be doing something from axis WWII.

I just enlisted... hope 2010 is better than 2009 modelling wise!

I have couple US WWII BB and CAs, will probably do one of those.. or the IJN Hvy Cr Nachi

1:700 scale either way; Im not breaking out the 350 Bismarck or Nagato yet

Hello All,
I am lucky number 8. Not sure what to build, But I have enought time to figure it out.
Cheers,
Bruce

Just 2 more need to sign up so we can mark this one official.
