GHQ Models Forums

Below is the list I post annually on this forum. I am happy to say I can strike a few items from my list this year. I have colored those items in red that are already released or planned for the current catalog. I will be re-arranging the list in order of my priority. Feel free to post your own ACW 10mm preferences.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I post this annually. A couple of the items on this list are supposedly pending so I have italicized them.

US infantry in great coats & Forage Caps (at right shoulder shift) IE Fredricksburg
US Bummers in Sack Coats and Slouch hats for Western Theater
Ragged Confederates IE Hood's Texans
Cavalry in ACTION poses
CS Cavalry with shotguns and pistols and US with Sabres in fighting poses
Iron Brigade in Hardee Hats and Frock Coats with gaiters
US troops in Frock Coat and Kepi
CS Troops in Frock Coat and Slouch Hats
Heavy Coastal Artillery and Crew
US and CS Sailors and naval landing parties
Civilians
More Personalities - Hood, Cleburne, Forrest, Rosecrans, Thomas for the WESTERN theater!
Troops of all kinds taking hits

In general the infantry and cavalry need to be in better action poses like you'll find in 15mm and 28mm lines. The 10mm Napoleonic Cavalry is done in this manner. Why not ACW?

PRIORITY 10mm List

1.) US infantry in great coats & Forage Caps (at right shoulder shift) IE Fredricksburg (See my other posting on "Show us yer games" for some examples from the other guys line of figures.
2.) US Bummers in Sack Coats and Slouch hats for Western Theater including forage parties with slung booty
3.) More Personalities - Hood(Preferably strapped to his saddle), Cleburne, Forrest, Rosecrans, Thomas, Wilson, Schofield, AS Johnston, Bragg, Joe Johnston for the WESTERN theater!
4.) Ragged Confederates IE Hood's Texans
5.) Heavy Coastal Artillery and Crew
6.) Pontoons with punts deployed and in transport mode
7.) US and CS Sailors and naval landing parties
8.) Civilians
9.) Troops of all kinds taking hits
10.) 10mm buildings from specific battles in Resin? Lutheran Seminary, Troop Hurt House, Salem Church, Wilderness Tavern, Carter House from Franklin....there are many many choices.

I concur. We need more "Bill-A-Polooza" ACW events....

I'd like to see some infantry in march attack rather than march poses.

Some new variations for officers and standard bearers. I'd particularly like to see more officers in slouch hats.

Union cavalry with sabres.

More personalities.

It is exciting that GHQ is really pumping up their ACW line this year (09-10 releases). Charging cavalry, Iron Brigade, and Frock Coats. Seven packs in 12 months is super. We need to speak with our wallets and I am sure GHQ will continue to add to the line next year as well. As for me:

Marching infantry (USA & CSA)
Charging cavalry w/swords, shotguns...
Additional personalities
Ragged CSA troops
Accessory set (Barrels, crates...)
