I'd like to buy some modern French "RT F1" 120mm mortars. They are available from a competitor but the castings are small (1:300), not very detailed and cast in softer pewter.

This mortar is also used by the USMC (M327) and a number of other countries according to wikipedia.

Regards.

Hey Brutzel, GHQ already make a Sherman M4A4 Crab. UK61. Been available for years.

UK? oh.... "Anti-mine tank, used by US as well "
I was looking at the US Tanks. British WW2 Models are not in my interest

But if you are not interested in British WW2 models, be aware that anti-mine flail tanks in general, and the Sherman Crab in particular, were British developments. The US began producing and using them only after seeing the effectiveness of the British design.

We could also use some modern artillery crew in fritz helmits to go with the superb M777.

Not going to beat a dead horse over civilian figures, but how about some helicopters from World War 2? At least one was used for artillery observation and another for material transport.

The civilian figures horse is not dead; it's just resting.

WWII helicopters were pretty rare - looking at Wermacht '47, Korean War or even early Vietnam might be more productive.

True enough, but considering they were used I thought they would make an interesting change in a game. The Flettner Fl 282 Kolibri ("Hummingbird") was used for forward observation and the Focke-Achgelis Fa 223 Drache (Dragon) was used for recon, transport, and anti-submarine (?). The United States had the Sikorsky R-4 Hoverfly for recon and rescue. This is a small part of the list.

Just a sorely neglected part of history that is never mentioned and seems to be forgotten.

More Russian Rocket Artillery. They produced at least 9 different sized rockets in 4, 6, 8, 16, 24, 36 and 48 rail/tube launchers on dozens of different truck chassis. Yet GHQ only makes one type on 2 different chassis.

My preference would be the big BM 31-12 (on Studebaker, Zis6 etc) that you see in the Berlin footage.
The BM 13-16 on the STZ-5 Stalinez is way cool.

Americans need the 240mm Howitzer M1 and the 8" Gun M1

Belgian T13 and T15 would be great.

French tanks FCM36 (radar can't detect it!) and Char D2.

Russian early war heavy artillery is lacking in my battles too - we need the 152mm ML20.
