Those are April 30th releases, not June 30th release.
Yep. We were expecting to see the following as a 30 June release:

JUNE 30, 2022
US124—M1 240mm Howitzer w/Mack NO
AC142—Dewoitine D.520
IS26—Eitan APC
NK8—VTT-107mm MLRS
N651—Leopard 2A4M (Canada)
MJ8—Komatsu LAV
HRC13—Type 001A Shandong
GWB43—"C" Class, Ceres group

I hope all is right at GHQ!

Yes, you are correct. Too hasty in my typing.

Well, we don't know anything about June's releases or next year's list. Maybe we'll get neither.

What would be nice though, would be a bit of communication by GHQ. A simple 2- liner like "Dudes and Dudettes, we're struggling a bit, June release/2023 release list etc... have been pushed back" on facebook and the forum would suffice. Same thing, when the forum was down. A short notice on the FB page would probably have squashed all rumors and worries that the forum is gone for good.

GHQ has great models, great and nice staff (as far as I can tell form the contact I've had so far), reliable delivery even overseas, but could improve a bit on the communications side. ;)

Received an order last Thursday, on the enclosed Tac News, back page with Latest Releases has a notice:
"Coming Soon: The next batch of releases and the list of upcoming releases for 2022-2023"
and on the enclosed Micro Bucks form, ( Password is ECHO ), has notice:
"Coming Soon...Releases for the 2022-2023 production year!"

While I too would like them to let us know what is happening on the Forum, (don't do FC), if they are as short
staffed as I imagine, (who isn't, my department is down 3 out of 10 positions), it's probably nothing but a**** &
elbows around there :D

Thanks for the update. Patience is a virtue and if GHQ needs more time, I am happy to wait.

Good news: GHQ is still alive and kicking! :D With their recent announcement of the "June 30, 2022" items to be released soon and the 2022-23 new release schedule soon to follow after, I think it is time to think about what to guess for the 2022-23 new year.

For WWII Micronauts I am guessing the following:
WWII Italy battleship Roma
WWII UK destroyer S-V classes
early WWII UK Fleet Air Arm aircraft (Blackburn Skua, Fairey Albacore, Fairey Fulmar, Fairey Swordfish, Gloster Sea Gladiator)
WWII USA light cruiser Fargo.
If there's a fifth item: WWII USA fast attack transport Charles Lawrence (Buckley type)

Posted this in another thread, but here are my modern naval predictions for 2022-2023.

My predictions for modern Micronauts are:
  • Japan Mogami-class multimission frigate (5 launched, more building, 22 planned);
  • Russian Ropucha I-class LST (25 built). I think it is more likely than the smaller Alligator-class LST (14 built), but that is also a possibility;
  • Chinese Type 903A support ship (7 built), though it could be other Type 9XX ship classes (12 built);
  • UK Tide-class T-AO (4 built) or possibly the US Fort Lauderdale-class LPD (2 built) which is a transition design to the future LX(R)-class.
Far less likely possibilities are:
  • Chinese Type 003 Carrier (2 planned) - Just launched and GHQ already makes the Type 001/002 carriers. Expect it after 2023 once we get a better sense of its layout.
  • Chinese Type 052DL (7+ building/planned) - we already have the Type 052C and D. Probably not until 2024
  • Chinese Type 054B frigate - No design or built copies available
  • Russian Admiral Grigorovich-class frigate (3 built, 6 planned) - Expect that LSTs are higher priority and higher ROI.
As I noted last year, I don't think GHQ will make anything smaller than a frigate. So no Type 056 corvette (sadly), Tarantuls (good versions exist elsewhere) or any of the modern Russian corvettes: Steregushchiy, Gremyashchiy, Karakurt, or Derzky. That said, I think GHQ could do well with a $10.95 Steregushchiy if it had the parts to make a few of the different variations in one kit. However, GHQ has made it clear that they don't create modular designs, unfortunately.

The Dewoitine, Ceres CL and NK MLRS are up (no photo for the MLRS yet).

I wasn't planning on a NK force... But that weapon mount on the cupola looks like it could be useful for all sorts of builds. Especially if you wanted to modernise some older kit.

Maybe I do need some NK? :mrgreen:
