| Ideas for a military fiction story that i am writing?
Encountered a problem while writing the other due to supplies and equipment so i have to start on a blank slate..
I am possibly thinking of writing a 2 part story that covers time travel within a military group, based on the movie The Final Countdown where the Nimitz supercarrier, out on a training exercise in 1980 is transported together with several F-14A Tomcats and a E2C Hawkeye back to Pearl Harbour in WW2 after inadvertedly passing through a strange phenomenal storm.The crew realise it is 1940 and the Japanese are planning the attack on Pearl Harbour, debating whether to use the power of the Nimitz to quell the attacking Japanese fleet and change the course of history but are transported back to the present before they can eradicate the Japanese fleet
Much like the movie, i would like to focus on a detachment of combined armed forces task force from the US army deploying to defend against a chinese invasion of north vietnam in 2020 While engaging targets in vietnam and is transported back to the 1960's vietnam war. Instead of holding back, i would like to go all out, defending South vietnam from the North Vietnam invasion and maybe even toying with the idea of an invasion of the North. What would be the most feasible units that could be used?
I also have a possible problem regarding supplies.. Would there be a problem regarding supply replenishment in friendly bases(ammunition)? What would be the most likely equipment list ?
Thanks!
