Thread: A Solo Campaign Idea

  1. #1

    Default A Solo Campaign Idea

    Borrowing heavily from Carl (Carl_Brisgamer)and his fantastic Polish Air Force campaign, I have adapted his gaming aids (with his full support) to use in my own campaign; be it for the present for solo play only.

    I intend to run this from 1937 (Sino-Japanese War) to mid 1943.

    Rising Sun, Falling Skies.


    On 7th July 1937, near the Lugouqiao Bridge (Marco Polo Bridge), outside Peking there was a border clash between the Japanese occupiers of Manchuria and the forces of the Kuomintang government, which soon escalated into full-scale war. The Japanese army (including air units) mobilised on 15th July, on 28th July Peking had fallen. On 30th July Tientsin fell which was followed by Kalgan and other cities. So began the 2nd Sino-Japanese War.

    From the book of the same title this is an air campaign idea offering a rich choice of scenarios. Starting with the Sino-Japanese war and leading into the early Pacific War Campaign until mid 1943.

    I just read the first Sino-Japanese War campaign mission AAR, well done. This theatre is another great location for a WW2 campaign, and I look forward to seeing how your subsequent missions develop.

    I still have two missions to post for my Polish Air Force campaign, but l am time poor at the moment.

    I look forward to your Chinese campaign as well, so many different aircraft in a fight that doesn't get a lot of publicity. If I could give you rep I would. 07
