GHQ wrote:With all of that being said,...drum roll please... here are the 2010-2011 new releases:
N M-ATV Good choice, at least their are some Afghan figures to fight against it.
N M-19 SPAA W47 use and late WWII more than modern. I am sure surplus ones saw action in the hot wars of the cold war. Pakistan and probably some other armies could use it.
W T-72 M1 w/ reactive armour Great choice, might finally make me create a modern Iranian army wihtout having to use all those T80s w/RA and pretend they are T-72.
TW Sub-Saharan Irregular Infantry #1 Might be OK we'll see when we see them. Hopefully the second pack was put on hold so that some middle eastern irregulars can replace them in the line up. It would be great to have a single pack to fight the 100 packs of troops, vehicles, aircraft, civilians, and buildings GHQ makes that would be usable in scenarios to fight against them.
TW EE-11 Urutu Great choice, saw action with Iran and Iraq during their war, Desert Storm, OIF, and currently in the new Iraqi army if there was anybody for them to fight against.
TW EE-9 Cascavel Great choice, saw action with Iran and Iraq during their war, Desert Storm, OIF, and currently in the new Iraqi army if there was anybody for them to fight against.
TMB Wall Tents (2) Good choice but so many to choose from.
N M1 Armoured Breeching Vehicle It will probalby sell well since it is a new toy, don't know how much it is useful since it is fielded to clear IEDs and obstacles in insurgent set piece scenarios. Maybe can use it against Afghans which there are figures for.
N T-95 SP gun Assuming this is the T-28 heavy tank that was temporarily named the T-95. Good for W47.
W SA-15 Gauntlet Good choice not many AA weapons in 1/285 that are post cold war.
RC PLA Armoured Combat Team Don't get the PLA but some users on the board mention collecting them. After the fall of the wall in Berlin, I tired of collecting vehicles that never fought any wars to wargame and stick to historical forces. The PLA has fought one small border war with Vietnam as their only action in the last 50 years.
N US MRAP Combat Team Why would anyone field MRAPs if their are no insurgents for them to fight against.
N Ferret Mk 1 AC Very useful cold war vehicle for a lot of small wars.
RC ZBD-2000 IFV Can anyone imagine a realistic scenario where the PLA will actually fight a war? Other than their export stuff fighting in other armies.
N AMX-VCI Good choice, thousands of them saw service but I don't know enough to know what combat they saw.
IS Namer IFV Why would anyone field an APC designed to fight insurgents if their are no insurgents for them to fight against? Of course the same goes for any Isreali vehicle introduced post-1982, the last time they fought anyone in uniform.
W BTR-T Cool toy, have they seen action in Chechnya or were they just designed based on the need to have something that could survive fighting guys in tshirts with RPGs hiding among civilians.
