I'd like to see a M35 2 1/2 ton truck configured as a fuel truck with the fuel tanks. There's a modern US fuel truck, and a WW2 US fuel truck, but not a cold war version. Lot of iffy cutting of metal to convert one from something else. Or maybe an open back M-35 (no tarp) where various accessories/modifications could be mounted. Examples: fuel tank as mentioned, or rough built up "house" on back as commonly seen in Germany 70s-80s for motor pool, spare parts, and various supply trucks. If I ever get around to scratch building a Hawk battery could hold the control center and missile pallets.

Second Cold War infantry, all nations, CUCVs and M35 fuel trucks.

I also would like to see WP command vehicles based on BMPs and BTRs.
Tactics are the opinion of the senior officer present.

I will add the following to the Comprehensive Micronaut Wish List:
- add Martin P6M Seamaster to early Cold War 'Hot Nuclear Bombers' list
- add Convair F2Y Sea Dart to early Cold War 'Unusual Aircraft Prototypes' list
- add early Cold War USA aircraft carrier USS United States (CVA 58) design

I'd love to see Yugoslav AFVs (BVP M80, BOV M86...), an airborne GAZ-66 (sawn off cabin, open bed where some light weapons can be mounted), and more Russian/Soviet heavy infantry weapons, like AT-7/Metis ATGMs, ZPU-1 mountain AA guns, and NSV machine guns.

I'd love to see some Yugoslavian equipment, they have some genuinely diverse and unique vehicle designs and artillery systems. The MLRS launchers look amazing!

I'd also love to see a 'SANDF/ IDF 1980's' pack... R4/Galil variants *riflemen, LSW and Rifle Grenade*, a GPMG carrier, an RPG-7 operator and an officer with an Uzi/BXP Submachine Gun and a Vektor SS-77/ IMI Negev gunner.

Then a heavy weapons pack with an M1919 .30 cal MG or M2HB team *would prefer .50 cal* a Marksman with Galil/R4 marksman rifle, AT Rocket launcher with FT-5/RL-83 Blindicide, Mortar Team and 106mm Recoilless Rifle team.

M813 with tank and pump units and trailer with same, as used throughout the Cold War. H series tank battalions had 6 per. M37b1 3/4t and M38 1/4t would be nice, too, for earlier units - pre-1962.

Before we do the Fiji cold war army how about we do the Classic Soviet Motor Rifle Infantry - like this article - with the boots and no back packs:

Another vote for Soviet Cold War infantry as per Begemot. I would definitely want to see these.

In addition, I have more infantry and heavy weapons packs that I would like to see for the Cold War period.

1. Israeli - 1967 and 1973.
2. Arab infantry for the same period. These would represent Egyptian and Syrian types especially but could be used for some others as well.
3. Jordanian - 1967.
4, American infantry - Early 1970s to 1982. There were several times the Cold War could have gone hot prior to 1985. These Americans would have the steel pot helmets and standard fatigue type uniforms. Add Dragons and TOWs for the heavy weapons.
5. British infantry.
6. West German infantry.
7. French infantry.
8. East German infantry.

This would go a ways toward addressing infantry for the period 1970 to maybe 1985 or so. Lots of vehicles are available for this period but not the corresponding infantry. I like to include infantry in my games and will "proxy" when necessary but would really like to have accurate uniforms and weaponry for the time and country I am depicting.

I always like to see what the Israelis do to upgrade equipment from other places. How about a Ti-67 with the Blazer armor? A Tiran or Merkava or Magach with some anti-mine equipment?

It's not vehicles, but for buildings some quonset huts would be nice.
