The Ghost Army of WWII
« on: 23 April 2010, 02:53:19 AM »
Just stumbled on the following site and thought this is a great idea for WWII scenarios. Inflatable fake tanks on the battlefield. The enemy could be a deadly force of tanks or just an ingenious piece of art.

In June of 1944, an exceptional U.S. Army unit went into action in Normandy. Its weapons included hundreds of inflatable tanks  and a one-of-a-kind collection of sound effects records, and it carried out its battlefield mission without firing a shot. The unit was officially called the 23rd Headquarters Special Troops, but it was known to its men as The Ghost Army.
