GHQ October release.

Yes, I certainly agree.
Engineering vehicles are usually 2 per pack, which is nor normally great value.
One per pack just made it drop off my purchase list, even though it looks good. It had been a certainty to buy before I saw that.

Hoth, yes sir I bet the bridge is in two parts separate from the body same as many others.

I had noticed the 1 per pk. Bit of a hard sell.
I did pony up for a pair of M1 wolverines just for the bridge parts for a Leopard 2 kit bash.
That was hard at the time but you got to do what you got to do.
I swapped the hulls with Chris in FL IIRC.

When GHQ does the Saab Gripen I really hope there will be two in the pack.
Otherwise a kidney will have to go.

WHOA! Titan! Only ONE?!? GREAT piece of work. I would bet that the measurements were taken on the chassis without the bridge, which would have made it ride high. It's an attention-to-detail matter and one that, unless you spent a lot of time around armored vehicles, you might not know had to be considered. Still, that is an awful lot of detail work to on the model. C'mon, GHQ. Let's pay attention! I would bet that took as much pewter as a sizeable Micronaut!

My collection includes a British armoured infantry battalion (Staffordshire) reinforced by 2 squadrons (18ea) of Challenger 1s, and a 14-Chieftain squadron. I probably need two bridges, perhaps even 4, but eventually, I will take a big gulp and get. I don't know what the TOE calls for, but I relax a little about my non-US units. Any help out there for the official allocation?

I think that changed when they put the photo up - I'm sure it said 2 per pk before that (maybe just my imagination).
To be fair, though, this is not likely to be a big seller. It's only used by the British Army, and they only have about 3 dozen of them. It entered service post Gulf War 1991 (so panzergator - not correct to have this with Chieftains or Chally 1s). So it's going to be bought by customers building a 'ultra-modern' (contemporary) British Army force (and perhaps a few sales to SciFi gamers and for imaginary nation armies)- I suspect a minority of GHQ's customers. GHQ have to sell enough PACKS to cover the research and design costs as well as the per-vehicle material costs.
If it were a pack of two, I would likely have bought 1 pack (1 vehicle with bridge, 1 with bridge deployed). At one per pack I might still get 2 vehicles (and hence 2 packs).

So going to 1 AVLB per pack I can understand for a vehicle as relatively uncommon as this.

Seems a bit mean not 'padding' the pack though, with say a Spartan APC or Landrover (for the engineering recce team).

Evildrsmith,

Thanks for the info. I still need a bridge or two for my Brit forces, so will probably compromise on the anachronism. There may be a time when I can afford to update my Brits, but that is in the future. I would like to update to Challenger II and later versions of Warrior.
