Wish List
If I am not mistaken GHQ announed last month that the list for the near future was already near completion. Did I miss it? I don't recall seeing it on the forum as of yet.

Infantry Wishlist
I had a good look at the GHQ 2007-2008 release list and found some cool stuff on it and some things I really don't care about. Since this is an infantry wishlist I will stick to infantry and other personnel figure types I would like to see in the near future. Some of these have already been mentioned and some multiple times but I will add my voice here as well.
1. I believe all the WWII combatants should get an additional weapons pack. This would cover things like 3 inch, 81 mm, 82 mm, 120 mm mortars, heavy MG's and for the U.S. the 30 cal. MG and the Bazooka. The Russians still need ATR's and the Maxim MG would be nice as well.
2. Russian rifle armed infantry in both summer and winter kit.
3. The British need a corrected 2 inch mortar. It did not have a bipod. I'm really not sure which mortar was used to model the one in the weapons pack but it is not the right one.
4. Need to add some PIATs for the British weapons pack. The paratroopers have them but not the regular infantry.
5. How about new crewmen for AT guns. Currently, there are no French AT crewmen and the Russians are in winter dress while the Germans are in summer dress. Actually individual AT crewmen would be very cool - similar to the artillery crewmen. They could also do duty as infantry gun crews as well.
6. French artillery crewmen. We currently have a couple of French artillery pieces but no appropriate crews. While on the subject since GHQ is going to release the French 47 mm AT gun, that would be a good time to sculpt the crews and then they can also be used for the 25mm AT gun as well.
7. Open topped vehicle crews. These could be used for the various open topped TD's and self propelled artillery pieces. For the U.S., some guys in tanker helmets in addition to steel pots and some berets for the Brits.
8. Speaking of Brits, how about the late war helmet.
9. More poses! I like some of the modern poses and would love to see about 10 poses per pack instead of the 5 or 6 we get now. I would like to see more advancing troops as per the modern packs and maybe some advacing light MG's as well as some standing firing - think of German mg teams with the gunner and the assistant steading the gun. These might be better suited to depicting troops defending a trench line.
10. Finally, some kneeling guys with binos and some RTO's for forward observer stands.
I'm sure I will think of plenty more here but I wanted to keep the list at 10 items. Have a great day!
