"HISTORICAL" Wish List for 2010-2011

I would buy WW1 Infantry and vehicles. It's not my favorite period, but it would be worth collecting.

I'd buy WW-1 "guns" that were still in use in WW-2. GHQ already has a few...
No other interest in WW-1, unless some of the horse-drawn equipment would "cross over".

My "short list"-
4.7cm Pak(t) auf R-35
174 (plus 24 command versions) were on hand for Barbarossa, making it numerically about on par with the JgPz-1. Best German sp Pak available in quantity at the time.

Czech "export" trucks, tractors and artillery.

1930's vintage Ford trucks of types assembled/built in Europe.

French gun crews; and kneeling gunners included with all apropriate guns instead of just "some" as is current practice...

I humbly and sincerely request a Polish 1939 truck. My troops grow weary. They have worn holes in their boots from marching up and down my warboard. Their lips are parched from walking from objective to objective in the hot September sun. Their micro-souls yearn for transport.

I'm with you on that one.
My Romanians will happily accept all the Polski-Fiats you manage to evacuate...

On the WW1 issue, since the war was much more of an infantry war, wouldn't it make sense for GHQ to make them in the same way as the Naps/ACW? Granted, to add a Mk! would be somewhat expensive given their size in that scale. But the infantry really should be the focus. There were very few tank on tank battles and those occurred tangentially to infantry attacks towards the end of the war I believe.

I would like to see:

Finnish

105mm horse drawn
Sissi (ski troops, might also work for Russian ski troops)

Polish

I echo the request for Polish trucks

Italian

Fiat Br.20
Macchi C200 or 202
149mm Canone w/ prime mover

I tend to agree that 6mm is a great scale for WW1; massed infantry in the early years, much more 'fire and movement' at the end... artillery came of age during this war as well, as did battlefield communication. Every year saw technological advances (the pace of change in military technology and techniques was faster in WW1 than in WW2). It would be very dependent on a good rules set, though.

And Doug B? Ditch kit that has fewer than 50 to 100 examples produced? How many A7V's were made? 100 may have been ordered, but how many actually delivered? 20?

My request for a model is an sdkfz 11. Nobody makes one, and it was the pzgren tractor for late war, not the 7 or 10.

Available in the Pak-38 and 40, leFH-18, sIG-33 (If I remember right) and strangely enough in the "Romanian" 47mm Atg pack.
Maybe the Nebelwerfer pack also; anyone else remember for sure???

It would be nice if they offered it in a 5-pack, but you can order just the tractor, I guess...

Cool! Forgot about looking at the tractors.
A bit of a nuisance that; yes it'd be good to be able to buy them in a 5 pack... and also to be able to buy the Brit 17pdr without the crusader tractor (only army group 17pdr regt's had them in Europe, the rest used half tracks).

Thanks for the heads-up! I only need 4 of them, so they shouldn't be too expensive to get separately.

Keep in mind that GHQ will sell bits as well.... so if you just need the tractors...

You're welcome.
Past experience say's this would count as a "hull" casting @ $2.00 each.
As with you; there are a number of guns I'd like to see available with different "tugs" than are currently supplied...

I just hate to see this thread go quiet for a long time. It is too much fun to consider and hash over the possibilities for new models.

So for no particular reason other than that, I'm going to toss in my thinking on another posters (perfectly reasonable) suggestion...

Did someone say Br.20s?

Before you worry about them, you'd best make sure you have your SM.79s!

And did I see a request for Mc.200s?

Useful for the Western Dessert, Tunisia, Sicily or the Eastern Front, those are! But if you want to influence events on the ground, you will also want to have your Ba.65s ready.

So the good news is that there are plenty of 6mm planes available for those who want to build a Regia Aeronautica force to bolster their M13s and Bersaglieri.

The bad news is that none of them are GHQ!

I'd love to see the following moderns in the next release list :

US Expeditionary Fighting Vehicle (EFV)

Chinese ZBD2000 Amphibious Fighting Vehicle
Chinese PLZ05 155mm Self-Propelled Howitzer

UK Watchkeeper UAV & Ground Support Vehicles
UK Stormer Starstreak

These seem to be some key missing links in the current line-up - what do you think?

Israeli armed halftracks, 90mm atg, 120mm mortar, SS-11 ATGM, 20mm AAA, plus some APC versions with the .30 cal in the co-driver's window.

And unless a T-10 is essentially the same as a JSIII, those too.
