Condor Legion Scenario Project 2022

 

I've just had a top up delivery of Tumbling Dice aircraft for next years Bag the Hun Spanish Civil War scenario writing project, mainly Italian, German and Russian medium bombers including some more Ju-52's and He111b's but also some lovely SM81's that will look great when painted up. The current concept is to write about half a dozen plus different scenarios focussed upon the Condor Legion, with a timeframe of 1937 to 1938 or so to keep it straightforward.


This would enable me to avoid having to paint a wide variety of Republican aircraft, so that there is a good re-use ratio between scenarios, but also make it possible to bring on some interesting aircraft for the Nationalists and their allies. I need to start researching this in a lot more depth but, for starters I've downloaded an Osprey on the Condor Legion which has had some very positive reviews and should be extremely relevant for the project.

  1. An interesting project idea- I look forward tro seeing where you take it.

    Did the range of asircraft available to the nationalists change that much then throughout the war?

    Cheers,

    Pete.

    1. There were several different aircraft on test by the Condor Legion at various stages and also some that were used in different roles. I'm also including the Italians in this as well.
