"It Ain't Half Hot Mum" was co-written by David Croft, who also worked on Dad's Army; it deals with a Royal Artillery Concert Party (entertainment for the troops) in Burma. You might also consider 'Allo 'Allo, also co-written by Croft, which deals with the French resistance. More recently there's Bluestone 42, about a bomb disposal unit in Afghanistan.

A lot of George MacDonald Fraser's work concerns the British Army, especially The General Danced at Dawn. One of those stories was adapted for TV.

Re: [Discworld] What scenarios are we all planning?
My currently "active" Discworld campaign dream is about Vuile-Oudestad,
a city somewhere on the Sto Lat-part of the Circle Sea coast. It does not have a Thieves' Guild, just a large selection of colourful i independent gangs (Gangs of New York meets The Warriors), and likewise its City Watch is understaffed, underfunded and "supplemented" by a messy tangle of Harbour Patrols, City Ward-specific watchmen, Official And Authorised Thieftakers, private guardsmen and ad hoc vigilantes. A few enterprising souls have joined together and contacted the Ankh-Morpork Thieves' Guild. Whether the aim is franchising, opening a branch office or just for an efficiency expert to help unite and organise the gangs into a proper Guild remains to be seen/decided. Something similar is true for the City Watch, and it remains to be seen if they get someone striving to emulate Vimes or Carrot, or someone more Moist... |

I have the basics of the city and situation, but a lot depends on whether people want to play cops or robbers. |

Law and Order: Ankh-Morpork
Still in the planning stage, though. I'm waiting for the hardback before putting more work in it. Because it's coming out really soon, isn't mr Krom? |
