More of the small details...
...for loads in trucks. I echo LGeronimo's suggestion of fuel oil drums, etc. Boxes, crates and drums could be used for supply depots, heavily sought objects of attention.

Oooh, good idea.Panzerleader71 wrote:Not sure if I have mentioned this one, but what about an early war French CC that has more of a selection of tanks. The 10 Char Bs is a little over the top, is it not?
A Light Division CC would be nice, featuring H-39s and S-35s, and perhaps with an infantry carrier rendition of the Laffley (as now present as a prime mover in the 47mm APX AT gun kit).
Then perhaps a Cavalry Division, making use of the new AMRs.
'Twould be nice.

Make specialized "platoon" packs for vehicles. For example, I would like to add a variety of recon vehicles to my Late War Germans, but don't need everything that is included in the German Recon Combat Command, and I don't want to buy multiple 5 piece packs of the same vehicle (of which I might use 1 or 2 pieces each) to build the unit I am looking for.
The moral high ground: A good place to site your artillery.

Yep
I have been screaming for the Pzkfw III L or M with Schurzen for years. KURSK!GERMAN :
- Pz III with side skirt (ausf "L" & "N")
- US M35 medium truck without tarpaulin. (for vietnam)
If you have the M-35 without Tarp, I guess we need Nam era US infantry riders as well.

Timecast do the drums and freight boxes in their Miscellaneous terrain bits. They look quite good too.
Adler's Soviet Tank riders are designed to fit on the back of a GHQ T-34 and fit just right.
Adler also do the ammo boxes with their gun crews, as well as empty shell cases.
Telegraph poles and street lights I think are made for railway terrain but are about as easy to find as rocking-horse-sh!t. Wouldn't it be great if GHQ did a box of those? 1 box and you could do a whole city!

It was already mentioned in this thread but allow me to join the request: I'd love to see Patria AMV.
In addition to it being used by 6 countries already (that has been mentioned here as well), polish command apparently became enamored with this vehicle and treats Patria as an answer for anything (including missions in Chad and Afghanistan) - and a kind of poor man's solution to the absence of modern tracked APC.
Result? I can't collect any decent polish force without pretending these LAV-25s are something they are not

Yep. My Soviets and my FFL tankers would love it. Also my USMC tankers ... if I had any.M4A2
Hmm. Might be nice, first, to have a proper D-Day/Normandie campaign Sherman at all, vents or no.Sherman with the D-Day vents
Or I should say a proper US Army Sherman. The Brits have one. But alas, we have no Sherman from GHQ for the US Army to use between the end of the Sicily campaign and September of 1944!

So I vote for a mid-war production M4 or M4A1. Split flat hatch for the CO. Driver and co-driver bulges. Maybe even welded plate armor on hull sides and turret, if you please.

Historical Wish List
I fully agree with Carl and Mark1 about Shermans. Right now there are no representative 75mm American Shermans for the D-Day period. This is a really big gap for a very important campaign. I really would like GHQ to do these as soon as possible. I am after all just a spoiled Sherman seeker.
