Modern Microarmour Wish List 2009-2010

Rutgervanm · Post by **Rutgervanm** » Wed Jul 23, 2008 5:04 am

Back from my holiday and as promised, here is the updated list. I included all the suggestions I could find in all the topics, including for example the recent requests for Czech stuff. Please bear in mind though, that allthough I keep track of these in my files, I will only post suggestions here with two or more votes, in the interest of keeping the list as brief and readable as possible.

EDIT: Updated list below.

You can add another vote to Generic infantry 50's to '80's infantry with SLR/FN FAL and African infantry African militia/insurgents (Which can also be used for Yugoslav wars etc, hopefully not all armed with AK's and barefoot!

)

With Generic NATO infantry Modern special forces/mercenaries (bush hats etc) n a close third

I would like to see WW2 marines. Some good croutched running action poses and Flame Throwers 30 cal, 2 man Bazookas and a figure throwing demolitions in the heavy weapons pack. The main difference between these figures and the US Army figures would be not blousing the trousers or using Greaves. While this was regulation, in the Pacific it was largly done away with. (Maybe rolled up sleeves as well.)

Not only would I buy these but it would give me more reason to buy Japanese. (Hint hint hint

)

I'm thrilled and waiting for the US Airborne. But I would like to see an Upgrade of the US line to the new standards of the infantry that has been released. The new packs shoudl include a single man or 2 man bazooka team, a good 30 cal machine gun sprue.

I'll be ordering the Airborne in October.

GHQ should focus on items that have seen action in a lot of wars.

No offense to the swedes, but how many battles have their equipment been used in?

Now how many battles have arab insurgents been involved in?

I have to third the Swedish pieces. Yes, it is very true that their equipment has not seen action but refighting real battles isn't the only gaming done. The Swedes sure have some sweet looking vehicles!

Look at GHQ's W-47 line that is due out. No one yet knows the listing but it obviously will have some what-ifs in the line up. I eagerly await its arrival as well.

Sorry Voltigeur, modern stuff only.

I'm wondering about the CV90 vs the Strf 90 AIFV, would this be something that GHQ could produce in one pack, with a couple of extra turrets?

Will update in another week or so.

Hello,

we have a CV90 topic which should shed some light on this theme:
http://www.ghqmodels.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2554

Strf is the Swedish abbreviation for Stridsfordon which translates into Combat Vehicle (CV).

Cheers Ben

A while back, Jason Afrika had asked for a BTR 40 which I had seconded. I do not see this anywhere on the list. Also, even though it makes for a longer list, having the single mentions posted would be nice so that we can add to them if we want them as well.
Is there anyone else out there that is interested in the 1967 and 1973 Arab-Israeli Wars? I think there are several items that GHQ needs to fill in some gaps but I haven't seen anyone ask for more with the exception of myself. For starters, an Israeli M-48 would be nice. An Israeli M-3 halftrack would also be great. Thanks.

I second the '67 & '73 AIW stuff. The M3 halftrack variations including twin 20mm AA, SS11 AT et al. Also Israeli infantry for this period. Also M-48's, 60s and Centurions with ERA for '82

Hi guys

I second the motion to remodel the JS3 and T62 tanks. They look totally outclassed by GHQ's excellent T55!

Another vote for this!

I wonder if GHQ can come up with an retrofit/upgrade pack with ERA that can be added to a model post-production. Maybe putting the ERA 'blocks' on some type of cloth/wire mesh the can be fitted to an existing model. ??
