I have previously sketched out some plans and done some preliminary number crunching for a Wings at War variant to cover the Khalkhin Gol incident, for which I also wrote a Bag the Hun article and scenarios last year, published in the Lard Magazine.

I revisited this idea recently and have now decided to go ahead and do some more work on it, instead of another Bag the Hun article. I've done a lot of the heavy lifting for this already, have all the models painted up and will only need to make some new flight stands and ground targets, so that side of things is covered.
I'll get started on this over the summer, with the aim being to have something to play test by the autumn. I'm going to use the WW1 Wings at War rules as a rough template but will add in some specific extras to reflect the unusual aspects of the conflict, including ramming, air to air rockets, rescuing shot down pilots and so on.
The working title....Stalin's Eagles (until I can come up with something better?)
Although I did purchase the Lard Magazine, I really hope you yourself publish something like "Merry Xmas, Mr Sankara" from this, and under your name. I know I would purchase your work on publication day! :)
