Modern and possibly older emergency units.
Police, swat, firefighter, bomb squads western civilians, and vehicles for such for urban combat and insurgency.
It would also work well for table top exercises for homeland security and emergency execises. I am considering putting together forces for tabletops, but I'm considering matchbox car scale because they have those types of vehicles.

Don't give up on micro scale!Theodore told us:

Much is possible in the way of civilian kit. It just takes a bit more work and creativity sometimes. That's all.

The list is still not set in stone, but is very close. We will give a little insight with regards to the comments already posted. US WWI Micronauts will be added, the French WWII Micro Armour is going to be expanded, the Ontos should make the final cut, the German WWII infantry will be expanded, and Romanians will be added.
Making our new release schedule is a complicated art/science. We receive about 20 suggestions a day, so obviously we can't make everything. We have our own ideas about gaps to fill and lines to add, and we obviously listen to our customers because you are the ones who buy the models. It's a tough process. Some people suggest the same things every year, but unfortunately not many others agree that those items should be at the top of the new release list. Taking a list of thousands of suggestions and turning it into a list of about 50 new releases, and keeping as many people happy as possible is a difficult tightrope walk. It takes several months, and many meetings that constantly trim the list down bit by bit. Sometimes the things that we really think would be good are not highly requested. For example, last year we released the Russian WWI Micronauts. Not many people had reqested those, but we thought that they would be popular. Since they have been out people have been buying them like crazy. In addition, the release of those has sparked a lot of interest in the other WWI ships, so we are following with the first US WWI ships on this schedule.
Please know that we realize that everyone isn't always going to be thrilled with all of the items that we release. We have been doing this for 40 years, and we feel that we have a pretty good idea of how to keep the majority of people happy with our scheduled releases. Remember, we want to come as close as we possibly can to keeping eveyone happy.
Keep the suggestions coming, we always like to hear what you have to say.
Thank you for your support,
GHQ

I'm glad to hear that US WW I Micronauts will be appearing in the upcoming model year. Although I'm still working primarily on WW II ships, I do intend to increase my collection of earlier-era ships. I hope that you will have a few WW II ships in the collection, and consider going back further to the Russo-Japanese War and Spanish-American War.
It's worth while for all of us customer types to remember that GHQ both listens to us and has its own objectives. Even if none of the ships on my "most-wanted" list appear, I will continue to buy from GHQ because I think they have the best quality models. I will also continue to send in requests for my favorites.

My suggestions
GHQ,
I am glad to hear the US will now have a presence in the WW1 Micronaut's line.
Now I can hopefully kit bash my Utah for Pearl Harbor.
I agree with Don that hopefully you will also include the earlier ships ranging from the Sino-Russian and Spanish-American that survied to the 1914-1918 era.
My suggestions for others are:
WW1 Austro-Hungarian, Italian and French ships.
WW2 Merchants, Auxilaries for all navies
Submarines: Earlier U.S., Dutch, Japanese I-400, ROs, Italian
Carriers: U.S.: Langley, Midway, Saipan, CVEs, British: Indomitable, CVLs,
CVEs, Japan: CVLs, CVEs, Unryu, Shinano
Cruisers: U.S.: Fargo, Salem, Worchester, British: E-Class, Counties, C class
Japan: Oyodo, Kuma, French CLs
DDs: Japan: Shimikaze, British: W & Vs, A-I Leaders, Later than Js, French
There is a detailed list under one of Don's wish list
Keep em coming, Nobody does it better!
Thank you,
William ( IRISH ) Compton
