Related to the tank story, two seperate quotes by Arneson suggest something very interesting...


"Then the raid on the French Island held by the Japanese. That's where Greg got his tank that rests in front of his castle, (Long out of fuel and ammo, but impressive!) Than there was the axis undead submarine, and a counter raid to knock out their transporter hmm we never finished that one, hmmm. Awwhh those were the days."
and
"Still have all those Japanese on the submarine somewhere. I must clean up that loose end someday. They knew about sword fighting and hand-t-hand combat. Not to mention that ninja stuff."

Hmmm. I need to read my own boards more carefully. Nice find!

Dan, this is scary. Just a few days ago, I realized that there were many posts Arneson had made on Fin's forum that I had never read, especially those made outside the Blackmoor forum, and here you are posting tidbits!

I think I would change this considerably if I were to use it in a game today though. For instance, I might change them from WWII Japanese to some of St Stephen's agents in some submercile vessel.

Cheesey? I'm thinking that depends on the presentation. Ever seen the "Heavy Metal" animated movie? There's a scene with undead WWII pilots that could be great inspiration for the Japanese sub.
OTOH, you name it from Blackmoor or any fantasy game, and it can be easily done as something cheesy. Elves for example - aren't they supposed to be Santas helpers?
