We have previously run group projects very successfully. Ten years ago, with ‘Project Platoon’, for example, we built late World War II armies and tested them out with various rulesets (see WS&S 60). Several years ago, James suggested that we paint armies for the Battle of Ligny (WS&S 69 and 70), which inspired the recent recreation of Waterloo in 28mm at Glasgow University for the Waterloo Uncovered charity (WS&S 94 and 104).
Now that we are all returning to gaming, the editor thought it was time we had a 1940 theme, and what better way than to get a group of like-minded gamers together to paint up and play-test the scenarios for that issue? We set a date for 120, which should be out in May/June 2022. The field was left open for each player to choose what they wanted blog and document the results of their efforts in our planned 1940 issue. It will also mean we have a ready supply of armies to photograph for that issue.
