HiBurtwolf - yes I'd like to see the other trucks too but I've run out of votes for this year! Let's see what the others say on the radio truck otherwise we may end up splitting the vote and getting neither!

Ok, no further comments on the Italian Command pack so I'll list it as the Dovunque Viberti with the Topolino as an alternative in the comments.

Let's move on to another one - Bersaglieri Motorcycle troops. Currently the requests have been for tandem riders with a few tricycles (not side-cars!) plus some parked (un-mounted) motorcycles. What proportions of each do people want?

Bobcat S450 Skid steer and a similar tracked model. Maybe 3 each per package. It would certainly be something I would commandeer in quantity.

OK, I've put down a T550 Compact Track Loader as the tracked one. Do you want buckets or forks?

Ok, no takers on the motorcycles.

Any views on the Alpini Infantry? What poses would you want different from the standard Italian infantry pack? Snow gear? Pack Mules? Ski troops? Climbing poses?

I would like a mix but not knowing the organization this is purely a guess.

5 two up with riders
1 tricycle with towed(?) weapon(s)
2 parked without riders

How is that?

For the motorcycles a mix of mounted and dismounted would be perfect. I'd like the Alpini in regular combat poses for the Eastern Front and Greece. Some pack mules would be great to have in the pack as well.

Ok, final clarification question : What do people want in engineer packs?

Command : Officer, radio/runner, SNCO

Vehicle Repair : operating large spanners/screwdrivers?

Mine warfare : Laying A/T mines? Russian mine dogs? (detectors already in some sets)

Route clearance : Axes/Spades/Pickaxes/Bangalores?

Bridge-Building : Pulling ropes/sledgehammers/large spanners/carrying planks?

Building emplacements : Spades/Pickaxes?


Given that there would probably be only 6-8 poses, what are your priorities? Presumably some generic and some country-specific.

I'm going to put another Italian pack out there for consideration and that would be the San Marco Marines. They have a distinctive look and would be great to have for Tunisia and Sicily as well as a hypothetical invasion of Malta.
