Post by: Brian da Basher on March 01, 2010, 03:19:40 PM
Achtung Alles! Hier sind der Rules:

1. Entires may be any subject: aircraft, vehicles, figures, etc. Dioramas, scratchbuilds, conversions & kitbashes are welcomed and encouraged.

2. Entries must be German Air Force and may be from any era; past, present or future.

3. Decisions of the GB Moderator are final.

4. Pictures of finished entries must be posted to the Completed Entries thread by the  deadline to be eligible.

5. Winners to be determined by votes of What-If forum members.

6. There is no Rule #6, there never has been a Rule #6 and there never will be a Rule #6. Don't even ask about Rule #6.

7. Have fun!

Per rule 4.  What is the deadline?  Now that this GB has officially started, it would be good to know how long I can procrastinate before starting a model.

Re. rule 2, do real or imagined German naval air forces count too, i.e. Marineflieger or High Seas Fleet Air Wing?

Ja Weaver,
the boys with the funny hats can have their own toys, even though historically the only time they were truly
independent was when the Imperial German Air Service was a part of the Kaiserliche Marine (1910-1920).

Lance, you were warned not to ask about Rule #6, you have disobeyed the warning and therefore you must take the consequences. Now assume the position, and bite down on the stick..... BdaB will be with you presently  :blink:

I am of course right now preparing to visit lancer and I'm bringing a very large fish.
One should never trifle about Rule #6.    ;)

I'd love to join this one but I've got to be realistic: there's no way I can complete what I want to do for this GB by May first.
Still, I will be cheering you all on from the sidelines!   :thumbsup:

I'm feeling slighty insane here, so before I jump in, how liberal is the naval equivalent "Imperial German Air Service" to be taken?

Like say...flying battleships?  Or is that too far afield?

Wikipedia has a good page on the WWI German Army air forces:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luftstreitkr%C3%A4fte
German Army Zeppelins were part of this force.

The Seeluftschiffe of the German Navy Air Service were a separate force.

Prior to World War I there was also the Prussian Airship Battalion using non-rigid airships.

So based on that one could have flying 'battleships' for any of those forces and still fall under a catch-all Alt. Luftwaffe category.

As far as I can see, there's been no mention of a prize for this GB. Since I'm not participating and since I've done well in a few GBs now, I'd be happy to provide one to the tune of £25, if someone can advise me how to go about it.

I recommend you drop Jon a PM.  I have already done so with the offer of a prize,
