Modern Microarmour Wish List 2009-2010

Rutgervanm · Post by **Rutgervanm** » Sat Sep 27, 2008 8:30 am

Yes, but the MRAP is not a specific vehicle, but rather a family of a type of armoured fighting vehicle and GHQ already makes several.

The 4x4 Cougar is available for the US, with the 6x6 on the way in the new releases. The Buffalo is available, as is the M1117 Guardian.

I would like a version of the International MaxxPro vehicle, as it seems it has been purchased in the largest numbers by the US Army and USMC.

The Australian Bushmaster IMV was also considered for US service, but was rejected. However, as you already pointed out it is used in very large numbers by the Australians and is also used by the British, the Dutch and probably the Spanish.

I really hope GHQ make the Bushmaster, so it's already on the wishlist.

Another one for the Skyhawk.

Also another for the AMX-VCI, probably the most widely used European native APC in NATO.

One for the M-75 APC that was given to a number of NATO nations.

The two latter ones will go nicely with the existing M-47, which is a bit of a orphan at the moment.

Hello again,

the AMX-VCI is a very good idea. It was in widespread use and some still serve today. Furthermore you have a great variety of versions, many can be rather easily converted from the original APC.

BTW - no one is interested in my modern British wishes (see page 1)

? Come on folks, where are the fans of modern British armour hiding

? Vote for a capable British ARRV, please

...

Cheers Ben

This is a small list of what we at Quartette would like to see:

Generic civilians and civilian cars - 1990s ford escorts etc would be great.

Generic SLR troops as already stated - if these could dual use as 1990s Serbs it would be particularly ideal.

Special forces also as already stated.

FA18 Hornet

C130 combat command.

Patriot battery - ie modified versions of existing models:
M977 Cargo HEMTTs, for launcher and replacement canister truck
M985E1 for antenna
and M925 5-Ton Truck for fire control system...

There are other things on the list but those are at the top of our priorities.

Many thanks.

I'm not sure if this is quite the right place to put it, but I'm very interested in some Modern Chinese Combat Commands, at least armor ones till the infantry and HW others have requested are available. I think enough individual Chinese vehicle types are available for that.

Most of my interest in moderns seems to be a China vs. X (depending on time period).

Heres my votes:

-- Post 2000 German Bundesweir w/ G36 series weaponry

-- Pre 2000 German Bundesweir w/ G3 series rifles (can easily be used to model FN FAL infantry or similar designed battle rifles)

-- Modern Chinese infantry w/ Type 97 rifle

-- updated Modern US heavy weapons to include M24 and M82 snipers.

-- Modern US special forces/ Contractor PMC

-- updated Warsaw heavy weapons to include some real HMGs such as the PKM and DsHK MG teams and some SA-7s or other shoulder fired AA to match the US Stingers

-- Insurgent Martyr's armed with explosive devices

--Generic civilians (non MidEastern) and generic civilian vehicles

--US/USSR crews for guns, vehicles, and aircraft

--smaller UAV models such as the RQ-7 Shadow and RQ-11 Raven

--US unmanned ground vehicles including the SUGV, MULE-T, ARV, Gladiator TUGV, etc.

--US Medics/Engineers/special troops (back packs, equipment, etc)

-- US CROWS mounted HMMWVs

- Optional MK19 AGLfor the M1025 HMMWV in addition to the M2

-- "Generation Kill" style bare-boned recon HMMWVs

-- it would be nice to get some US FCS vehicles, such as the C2V, MCS, NLOS-C, etc. It may be a long shot but GHQ seems willing to get into speculative models, Especially since we're getting that '47 line.

-- While I'm at it, international future force soldiers. Including SCAR US FFW Infantry, German IdZ etc.

Thats my wishlist and I'm sticking to it.

On a less serious note, I'd like to see some JSDGF micro armor, just so I can play out my World War 2000 game idea, but that ain't gonna happen... right?

While working on my '73 Israelis the other day I was thinking that dedicated Command packs would a good idea (modern and WWII.) They could include officers, Inf AA, and special command vehicles that already exist in the catalog.

Rutgervanm · Post by **Rutgervanm** » Thu Dec 18, 2008 1:44 am

Everything has been added to the list. I also added my own vote to it, if something has my personal preference.

Jeff, I've counted your vote for South African infantry as a vote for Generic SLR armed infantry, because that is what they used in the past.

LIST UPDATED, see post of May 19th.

I'll second these. I'll also second French/German Eurocopter Tiger, Chinese Infantry, and Chinese Combat Commands.

I'd also be interested in the following:

Israeli Namera APC. they've started deploying these in decent numbers now, so they'd be useful.

M777 155mm ultralight towed Howitzer (M198 replacement). Canada and the US use these now, and Australia has place an order recently too. they also look obviously different from the M198.

Chinese Type 99 MBT. This could use the same body as the type 98 but with a new turret. the type 98 was never meant to be a field tank, it's a technology test bed. the Type 96 does however closely resemble it.

Finnsh Patria AMV apc 8X8 with different turret options for the various countries that utilize this vehicle.

Suicide Bombers!

The rules for that troop type would be interesting to read.
