Dardanelles Campaign Project Update

[RAF_Louvert 101]

Good Evening All,

 

I haven't had much time as of late to devote to the Dardanelles Campaign project, but I did make some progress. Here is a brief video of the northwest approach to Kum Kale:

 

Recce of Kum Kale Work

While there is still much to do, it is starting to take shape.

 

I'll be heading up north now for my father-in-law's funeral. He had been suffering with congestive heart failure for the last several months and passed away at age 89 this last Monday, peacefully, in his sleep, surrounded by loved ones. He was a great guy and he will be missed. Best be thankful for those special people in your lives, and appreciate them while you can, and don't ask for whom the bell tolls...

Thanks for the condolences British_eh, much appreciated Sir. I'm glad you like the project so far, and I am looking forward to your series of missions as well.

 

Before I hit the road, here are a couple of screenshots that show off the newest fort a bit better.

 

 

 

 

 

A thing of beauty is a joy forever, (or at least until the British fleet blows it to bits).

 

Cheers!

lou jsut getting back form holiday what can i do to assit you with this belive british eh pmed me about some ships will tweck his request over the next few days

Thank you for the offer of assistance stumpjumper. I believe I have the majority of the ships we will need, unless you have an earlier version of a gunboat, (i.e. PT boat size and type). One item that would be great to have for this would be the bomber version of the Short to use in the strike missions on the forts and gun positions in a couple of the missions. Also, the earliest German planes available. Something like the Taube and a very early two-seater would be handy in the first mission or two to serve as what little air fleet the Turks and Germans had in this area at the time. I will be using the BE2 as well since these did serve in the Dardanelles. This campaign was over by November of 1915 so it really needs all the early war birds, but we will make do with what we have, just like we are doing with the geography.

 

Cheers!

Quite the des res you've built there Lou, stunning sea views etc. Taking shape very well.

 

Sorry to hear of your loss, I guess we're most of us now of an age where Life is not so much giving us things as starting to take them away.
