Real life has a funny way of providing us current gaming opportunities ;) My only problem is time; I haven't even started this project (in terms of fights on the table) yet!

I could see a CEF, together with a few surface ships and modern jets, heading off to help a fellow "Latino" nation defend itself against a "communist" nation.<br><br>In the South China Sea you could have aerial combats, surface ship clashes, and even landings/counter landings over some of the small rocks in that region. The US could foot the bill because the US is a close trading partner with China, so it doesn't want to strain those ties any more than it needs to, but the US also needs to counterbalance China and help the Philippines... so enter the CEF. I think French miniatures would fit the bill for Chinese troops if you don't have any in 10mm.<br><br>Shapeways has the cheap Chinese warships for the naval skirmishes. I could see fighting over little specks of land in the South China Sea being rather fun and even easy to model in your scale. I do 15mm myself so I have to wait a bit longer for my Chinese vehicles. You might get away with using French troops and gear for the PRC as they are somewhat similar.Randall Casehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15503744399853478981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6486033398339782036.post-46049128285001068632013-08-30T23:47:58.672-07:002013-08-30T23:47:58.672-07:00Interesting and detailed alternate history there w...Interesting and detailed alternate history there with lots of gaming opportunities!Matthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12728450135657424715noreply@blogger.com
