Suggestions for upcoming RAIDS titles
dsumner
I've been giving a little thought to possible subjects to be covered in future RAIDS titles, and put together a list of operations I'd like to see covered.
The Pebble Island Raid
Operation Ivory Coast - The Son Tay prsion raid in North Veitnam
Operation Chariot - The Commando raid on St. Nazaire
Operation Oak (Unternehmen Eiche) - The Otto Skorzeny raid to rescue Musollini
Operation Bulmus 6 - The Israeli Naval Commando raid on Green Island
Operation Jaywick - Z-Force raid on Japanese shipping
Nyadzonya/Pungwe Raid, Mozambique, August 1976 - by Rhoedesian Selous Scouts
Operation Chavin de Huantar - The Japanese Embassy assault in Lima Peru
The GIGN Assault on the Air France flight at Marseilles, France
I'm sure I'll come up with others.

Operation Chariot was already covered in the Campaign series so I'd rather get a new raid covered rather than an old one revisited. Amazon has Raid title Rescuing Mussolini - Gran Sasso 1943 listed for April 2010
Like the Jaywick idea though. We have Zeebrugge coming up but I'd like to see more First World War titles, perhaps a trench raid one or an East Africa title. Though I have to admit I'd love to see a title about Whippet tank 'Music Box' 's 9 hour rampage behind German lines in 1918 for the novelty value alone.

I would add my own top three list:
German raid on Granville 1945
British raid on Vaagso 1941
French foreign legion operation on Kolwezi 1978

Good selection. I would be interested in Pebble Island raid, Selous Scouts in Mozambique, Operation Jaywick and the GIGN in Marseilles. I see someone mentioned the Franco-Belgian operation in Kolwezi in 1978, which I was going to mention.

I'd forgotten about Operation Leopard, the , and I see someone's already suggested Operations Red Dragon and Black Dragon. As for other titles here's a few additional suggestions.
Operation Acid Gambit - The Delta Force rescue of Kurt Muse, Panama, 1989
The SEAL Team 6 rescue of the Governor-General, Grenada, 1983
Operation Caustic Brew - TF Ranger, Mogadishu Somalia, Oct. 3, 1993
Instant Thunder: Task Force Normandy - The MH-53 Pave Low/AH-64 Apache helo raid during Operation Desert Storm
SCUD hunting during Desert Storm
Grierson's Raid - The 1863 raid by Union Cavalry on Confederate lines in Tennessee, Mississippi, and Louisiana.
I'll probably add additional suggestions later
