Here's my contribution to the previous wishlist thread, with a handful of additions.

Cold War/Vietnam - Australia
M113AS1 – M113 as used in Australian service from Vietnam until mid 2000’s
International ACCO – 2.5t GST 4x4 Truck used by Australia during Vietnam war and up until late 1980’s
Australian Infantry – As seen in Vietnam – infantry in jungle greens with SLR, bush hat and light-order kit. Also suitable for Bush Wars, SADF or tropical British.

Cold War/Vietnam - Israel
MAR-290 – 290mm Multiple Rocket Launcher mounted on either a Sherman or Centurion hull. The Sherman launcher was a steel framework around the launcher, whereas the Centurion had tubes mounted. I’d prefer the Sherman mount, but I’m easy
M4 Sherman Ambutank – Either HVSS with the raised superstructure, or VVSS M4A1 with rear doors. Again, I’m easy
M4A1(76)W Sherman (VVSS) – WW2 era Sherman used by the IDF in 1956 (Oddly GHQ doesn't do a 76mm M4A1 of any model)
M38A1 – Light 4x4 vehicle used for recce or as a weapons platform. Ideally would see release in a similar form to the Willys or Mutt packs with a split of MG cars and 106mm RCL cars. Also saw extensive use with the US, NATO forces and Iran amongst others.
Makmat 120mm – 120mm mortar mounted on a M3 halftrack
Soltam M-66 – 160mm mortar mounted on a M4 Sherman chassis
M107 self-propelled gun – 175mm SPG. Also saw extensive use with the US, NATO forces and Iran amongst others.
M110 self-propelled gun – 203mm SPG. Also saw use with the US, NATO forces and Iran amongst others.
67/73Israeli Infantry – Suitable for the Six Day War or Yom Kippur War. Armed with FN-FAL, Uzi and MAG-58

Cold War/Vietnam - Soviet/WarPac
IS-3M – Soviet post-war heavy tank. Saw combat use with Egypt during the Six Day War
BRDM-1 – Soviet amphibious armoured scout car. Saw extensive use in the early cold war and throughout the Middle East
GAZ-69 – Soviet light 4x4 vehicle used for recce or as a weapons platform, precursor to the UAZ-469
GAZ-69 Snapper – Soviet 4x4 with Shmel ATGM (Snapper)
37mm M1939 anti-aircraft gun – Soviet AA gun with appropriate tow (Zil-157?)
85mm D-44 divisional gun – Soviet field gun with appropriate tow (Zil-157?)
122mm M-30 howitzer – Soviet howitzer with appropriate tow (Zil-157?)
152mm D-1 howitzer – Soviet howitzer with appropriate tow (Zil-157?)

- - - - - - - - - - -

I'm sure I'll think of more :mrgreen:

From Splod =>
"M4A1(76)W Sherman (VVSS) – WW2 era Sherman used by the IDF in 1956 (Oddly GHQ doesn't do a 76mm M4A1 of any model)"

Mate, have a look at US23. It's the M4A1 with T23/76mm turret.......

As to my preferences, I'd like to see GHQ finish off some gaps in the UK range
- Conqueror Heavy Tank
- Stalwart 6x6 logistics
- Ferret ATGM
- Centurion AVLB

And I'll second/third (?) the general call for Bush-war Aussies/Brits/SADF and 67-73 Israeli infantry with FN/Uzi/MAG-58

I'll just stick with a single wish:

France/Belgium/Germany
Alpha Jet - with the option to build it with both the French/Belgian rounded nose cone and the German pointed one. Had the cold war gone hot in Europe, those things would have been almost omnipresent on the German battlefield in the CAS/ground attack and anti-helicopter role.
