I hesitate to say this as I am growing tired of hearing my own voice (they say in space no one can hear you scream and that's the way it feels sometimes) but if you build it they will come.
I wrote something else and then erased it. I give up. GHQ hasn't produced a new modern micronaut in 10-15 years. They're not going to. Other companies are offering new models and some of them are refreshingly good. Some are good enough. I can live with that. I have nearly the entire Falkland Campaign order of battle now and I have a decent sized PLAN order of battle which I can fight with my JMSDF or USN forces if I choose. If one of those companies will start making Indain Navy vessels i will be over the moon. I'm taking the $500-$600 I usually spend each year on naval procurement and I'm going elsewhere even if those companies are overseas.

I hear what your sayin GHQ...But!!
Well, heres my 2 cents worth. Through my own personal pinhole, hehe, cause that's the one I like the most, my interests are: in order of highest interest Modern Armour, WWII micronauts, WWI micronauts mainly UK and German because of Jutland, and last WWII armour pretty much limited to the N African campaigns.
There are a few items that I am interested in on this year's list, but I am not overly enthused with the list as a whole. Looks like it's time to paint, lol. I'm happy for all of you out there that have more interest in the list than I do. I will always continue to support GHQ, I always have holes in my units that need filling. I was lucky enough to get to visit GHQ's factory a few years back. I was surprised, I was expecting a larger somewhat more modern facility. It wasn't quite that, but it was amazing to see how they made the models, and the finished products are really, truly a work of art. Those people are true proffesionals.
Now I would like to ask them a favor, hehe. Please explain to me Wehrmact 47. I am a realist. I like to replay historic battles to see how and why they were run the way they were. I am afraid my what if scenarios are limited to small scale fights involving the equiptment that was really being used at the time. Not to take anything away from the people out there that enjoy the make believe scenarioes and equiptment. I guess if you get right down to it...it is all make believe, as we arent firing live rounds at one another, but here's my favor. I am hoping that GHQ's new catalog will have a seperate listing for Wehrmact 47, so that dummies like me can tell what vehicles were real and what ones weren't. I looked back at the catalog on this website and noticed quite a few items that were listed in both sections, maybe a new prefix for the 47 stuff would help, I don't know, it's confusing to me. The VietNAm section is kinda similar in a way, but I lived through that era and am more familiar with the equiptment, or maybe it's because VietNam actually happened that makes the diference, but I don't have a problem with that one. Thanx for your efforts GHQ and keep up the excellent work.
