early war escalation
Re: early war escalation
Maybe because WWI and the French taught everyone that war of maneuvers were dead before WWII? So the Germans were first to really awaken to the idea that tanks and mechanization made possible the return to the power of the offensive.
Yes, otherwise I think the French must have been yelling the same as the Germans went around their very expensive Maginot Line.
Otherwise, are you thinking of EW escalation, too? Your current Brits would easily field as an EW variation. Just proxy your PIATS as Anit-tank rifles and you probably have light mortar teams for EW/MW.

Re: early war escalation
Sorry about that, my wife was calling me for dinner.
No, I wont be doing EW as I have no interest in the period, too many other projects and things to work on and I am still not 100% sure that I want to spend more time and money on FoW beyond maybe finishing off what I have now.

Re: early war escalation
I don't think any of the gamers out here are interested in early war much. I seem to be the only one who has much interest in the time period.

Re: early war escalation
@Prim: Cool. It makes a lot of sense. I'm looking at my collection and I'm trying to size up an area for building a 40k army. I want one before Nagoyahammer, but I would also prefer to collect CSM. Though without that new codex I'm not sure what to envision for a new CSM army. (I'd like to build one of the Legions.)
Then there is FOW... And new terrain...
@ Voss: I guess we can continue to be patient. We can start ahead of the others.

Re: early war escalation
To be honest, I don't think many people will jump on the early war band wagon round here. I'm not worried. I actually hadn't planned on anyone signing up for early war and was just going to collect the armies because I like them. That I'll get to field them is a bonus.

Re: early war escalation
As the disembodied voice in Kevin Costner's head says:
If you buy, collect and build it, they will come.
It is also the voice that led him to make wonderful films like The Postman.

Re: early war escalation
Forget Kevin Costner, he made Waterworld after all.
OT: I have already bought my Late War Maoris and with a little tinkering with some of their support choices (mainly tanks and A/T weapons) they can easily play Early and Middle as well. Apart from Kiwis Early-war is not the most interesting period for me, although I might be persuaded to take part in an escalation campaign later in the year (BTW I have the Raiding/Infantry Aces packs at my base).

Re: early war escalation
That is great! If you do Maoris/Kiwis, Voss does Fallshirmjager and the Greeks, and I do Gebrigsjager. We essentially have all the forces except the Aussies that took part in the Battle of Crete.
Maybe we can play this through the summer and next autumn and winter. Hopefully then we can springboard into MW later down the road.
