Maybe we will see one or two of these on this year's list. I like your list, especially the M107 (used in action in Vietnam and by the Israelis) and the redo of the M109 (the M109A6 is awesome, but the earlier M109/M109A1 casting is at least 32 years old).

The 2014/2015 list?

[CG2]

Seriously, Russia is due a range of new combat vehicles in 2015 so I'd like to see those figure heavily.

I'm still hoping for more engineering vehicles and some engineer 'infantry packs' this year for all periods/countries. Also the Bailey Bridge GHQ promised a couple of years ago and won't answer any questions on. Churchill 'funnies' also register high on my list.

WWII Command vehicles/staff cars for almost all countries.

WWII Russian heavy artillery tractors - the russian support & signals trucks have been fantastic this year and the tractors now seem the obvious missing element. Extending the tanker/signals/workshop trucks to other WWII countries (especially UK) would be high on my list.

S-300 & Patriot Battery Combat Commands would be nice.

Modern civilian vehicles - Landcruiser, limo, Mercedes saloon, Chevy Suburban especially.

WWII German landing barges (various options)?

Still time for many of these on this year's list too!

Modern UK Inf in Beret/Bush hats patrolling ala Sierre Leone.
1950's UK inf with EM-2 bullpup rifle.
Ulta Modern Israeli inf with TAR-21 Tavor Rifle
Modern Aussie Inf with F88-Can be used for Irish Defence Force.
Modern French with FAMAS.

More third world warriors infantry variants.

[pmskaar]

Here are some Cold War era and Arab-Israeli Wars stuff I would like to see.

1. Arab infantry from 1967 and 1973. Would be Russian style but would have ankle boots and no backpacks. Heavy weapons would include Suitcase Saggers for 1973.

2. New updated BRDM and BTR 60 series vehicles. GHQ recently did the T-62 and BMP-1 which were in serious need of an update. These are not quite as bad but a new sculpt would bring thes models up to the current high standards of GHQ.

3. Updated PT 76.

4. Updated BTR50 series and include more variants.

5. Israeli infantry from the '67 and '73 Wars.

6. Jordanian Infantry. I know British is very close. I could use them in a pinch but there will be a few differences.

7. Ouragon

8. SU-7

9. ZSU-57/2. The one GHQ makes is in bad need of an update.

Have a great day!

USS Deluth LPD 6 just prior to her decomisioning for sentemental reasons....

USS Robert L Wilson DD 847 I was assingned to her for a year as a 13 yo Naval sea Cadet In the mid 70s and Old frammed out Rust bucket but god I loved her , even tho you could hear the rain drops bangin on that old thin deck from your rack and had the life scared out of you when the AFT twin 5 inch 40s Fired and who could not love standing watch on the midship ASROC luancher . The old salts hung a thermomiter on the Luancher and told us Cadets she would blow if she got hotter then 80 degrees so we had to keep washing the Luancher down to keep it cool...well Don now you know why I keep asking for her lol......Mikey

Here is my wish list for the next year. These suggestions would go a ways to filling in some gaps in existing lines with important equipment.

1. WWII U.S. Army Heavy Weapons Pack #2. This would include both the M1917 and M1919 MG's and 81mm Mortars. I want to see at least 2 figures manning each piece and maybe even a few additional separate crewmen as well. Right now the U.S. infantry is lacking these heavy weaons except for the old style packs.

2. WWII British Heavy Weapons Pack #2. This would be for NW Europe and the standard British Infantry. It would include Vickers MG's, PIATs, Boyes ATRs and 3 inch mortars. The Vickers and Mortars should have at least 2 man crews. The above items are available in other packs such as the British Desert Infantry and Paratroopers but not for the European Theater standard infantry.

3. WWII Russian Heavy Weapons Pack #2. This would have 82mm mortars and Maxim MG's. As a bonus, perhaps some late war Russian infantry with Panzerfausts. There would be at least 2 man crews for these weapons as well.

4. Panther with sideskirts. We are getting 1 of these in the coming year. The question is which one. GHQ should go ahead and do the Panther D, A, the two versions of the G and the Jagdpanther with sideskirts. By the way, the current Panther castings are closing in on 30 years old and are still excellent. They have held up very well. This should be a fairly easy one for GHQ overall.

5. Russian artillery tractors. There are a few to choose from but please do common ones.

6. Humber LRC. This is almost a must for many British recce units.

7. Lloyd Carrier. This is the main prime mover for the 6 Lbr AT gun.

8. Russian Universal Carrier. Mostly just add Russian figures instead of British.

9. Valentine Mk IX. This would be good for late war Russian units. For some reason. GHQ chose the XI with 75mm gun rather than the much more common IX with the 6 Lbr.

10. M4 Sherman Conversion set. I admit to being something of a tank nerd and being frustrated with having the same 2 basic 75mm Sherman turrets for all the new hull types that have been done. Right now the choices are for an early war turret or a very late war turret with commanders cupola.
This pack would go a long way to rectify some things and would be a chance for those that have Shermans to "pimp their rides" with various modifications and additional stuff.
Here is what the set would include.

75mm turret with wide mantlet, split hatch for the commander, no loaders hatch, and a reinforcing plate on the right side of the turret.
75mm turret #2 with wide mantlet, split hatch, loader's hatch and no reinforcing plate on the right side of the turret.
Spare track links, roadwheels, and other stowage that could be added to suit ones taste. GHQ has done this somewhat with their M2 and M3 Halftrack detail kits so why not do it for the Shermans as well. Additonal items that could be included would be sandbag and wood plank armor plus hull reinforcing plates that were welded on many dry stowage type Shermans. It may actually take 2 packs to include everything I have listed here but I think it would be really cool to have.

And a few ships.

1. Devonshire WWI AC.

2. WWI CL Southampton class.

3. 1942 version of Yorktown/Enterprise. They are different enough from Hornet to be separate.

4. Lexington as she appears at Coral Sea.

I would like to see GHQ continue with their WWI ships and continue to fill in the gaps of the existing German and British lines as well as some of the other lines.

Still hoping for a Soviet ML-20 152mm howitzer and accompanying hvy prime movers some day.
A soviet STZ medium prime mover would be grand as well.
The LVT-4 and waterline amphib vehicles are a great idea.
Would like to see both a WWII and Modern era Caterpillar D-7 tractor for the US engineers too.
Would like the VLRA series of french trucks (cargo and w/20mm AA and or Mistral SAM's) someday.

Love your products GHQ. Thanks.

[battlewagon]

Here's my mostly nautical version of what I'd like to see and why:
WWII German battleship Gneisenau - Channel Dash participant and was involved in surface action against HMS Glorious.

WWII Japanese battleship Fuso (1944) - Participant the in surface action at Surigao Strait (primarily as a target...but she was there)

WWII Japanese Heavy Cruiser Mogami (1944) Modified with seaplane deck aft. Participant in the surface action at Surigao Strait.

WWII Japanese Heavy Cruiser Maya (1944) Modified with AA tower in place of third bow 8" turret. Participant in the battle of Leyte Gulf.

German WWI Pre-Dreadnought Hessen - Participated at Jutland

British WWI Pre-Dreadnought Canopus - Participated in the Falklands campaign.

...and now for something completely different:
10mm French Imperial Guard infantry. - Pretty hard to miss on the battlefield!

Keep up the great work and great quality, GHQ!!!
