Introducing... Secret Project II

Get a bigger avatar today!

Remember, a master's hint on figuring Secret Projects out. Looks can be decieving, and some pictures I post may be used more as metaphors than blatant hints.

I have files already backed up four times: two disks and two other drives. Nothing can stop me this time.

Well, the pic is of Nazis and if I consider that a metaphor than it must be about...

So someone did notice my cities.

Ok, let us say this as a clue: It has to do with World War II. That doesn't mean anything.

mmm, those Nazi's look a lot like paratroopers to me (don't ask me why, its just a guess).
Invasion of the Low Countries? Crete? Market-Garden?

No, no, no. But great guesses!

Its a toughie like the last one, I'm warning all of you.

But a Market-Garden scenario would be neat. Maybe when The Mars Project and the Secret Project are complete.

I´m probably not the biggest WWII expert here, but I think they arent paras. I think German WWII paratroopers had other helmets than the normal soldiers. Hmm, may be wrong.

And wasn´t Market Garden an Allied operation (Arnheim)?

Yes, it was. Connection was probably paratroops and not nationality.

It's great that you've got all these projects going Polaris... and the world can always use more WWII scenarios, but exactly when do you expect to finish the new AoW site when you're working on all these things at the same time?

Well, it involves Nazis... and grassland... a scenario depicting some sort of invasion that was planned but never took place (like of Britain, Iceland, Canada and America)?
I don't know what a few germans guarding a house is supposed to be a metaphor of.

Help yourself to an AD-FREE life

The uniforms look like 1939-41 period. Can't quite make out the backround at right. But my guess is the early part of Barbarrossa.

Yeah, but it was opposed by a German 'parachute' army under General Student. In reality, most of the German 'paratroopers' had never seen a German cargo plane, much less jumped out of one.

At the risk of revealing myself as a WW2 nerd, the MG-42 [the big machine gun] in the picture looks like a streamlined, assault varient, as carried by paratroops.

mmm, the picture is a link from a site dealing with models. I wonder if that means anything? (I suspect not)

I hate to say this, Case, but you are a bit off. Market garden was an attempt to force a crossing of the Rhine river and get a foothold in Germany by taking a number of bridges simultaniously by airbourne assault(Market), and a groud drive by British 30 Corp(Garden). Student's 1 Parachute army was not in the target area, instead were two SS Panzer Divions, Hohenstafen, and Frundsburg, as well as a large number of improvised and Ad Hoc formations. British 1st airbourne was to take the bridge on the Rhine, at Arnhem. This failed, as the British could only secure one end of the bridge. The bridge over the Maas at Nijmegan was taken by the US 82 airbourne divsion, and the lower bridges and Eindhoven were to be the target of the US 101 Airbourne. They had mixed results, but that is another story. I'm not sure, but the MG in the picture looks like the MG34, with a bi-ped mounting, not the larger MG42, or the Airbourne MG(who name escapes me right now).

Hold it - As a matter of fact, this picture only holds the clue that it's about WW2, and Polaris confirmed that. He did not say that it has something to do with the nazis at all.
Also, it has to do with WW2, but is it really WW2?
Keep in mind - it could just as well be the Italian invasion of Abessinia or the Japanese expansion of Mandchuko.
I am very sure that it is not about any WW2 European scenario involving the Germans directly.

DarthVeda, I know.

None of you will guess it with one clue. Just wait for more.

BTW, DarthVeda is my co-producer for this project. While I'm making the scenario directly and the ideas and what not, DV will be helping with some additional graphics and ideas.

At least somebody acknowledges

Lemme take some more guesses:

[*] Roosevelts electoral campaign in the US
[*] Gandhi's Satyagraha
[*] Muhammad Reza Pahlavi's raise to power

(OK, the last two ones were not meant seriously)
