A pack of modern police/paramilitary personnel. A few figures in different style uniforms, pistol armed, maybe some swat, one K-9, and a police vehicle or two. They are involved in a lot of small unit actions with insurgents. I would use them in scenarios where they get hit by a heavier force and try to hold on until heavier army units can arrive to back them up. Used to happen every day in Iraq.

Donald M. Scheef wrote:Micronaut: WWII UK heavy cruisers Berwick & Cornwall as they appeared at the start of the war. They had the large boxy aircraft hanger aft like Cumberland and Suffolk (UKN2), but without the cutdown quarterdeck. The only 1/2400 scale model I have seen of this appearance is a resin that doesn't approach the detail of GHQ's products. Cornwall was still in this appearance when she was sunk by the Japanese in the Indian Ocean.

Don,

I second your choice...we need the WWII UK Heavy Cruisers Berwick and Cornwall for early war.

A model for each of these important British WWII cruisers would be awesome!

If there was one thing it would be for the Zen Master to make a Mason boiler for a USMRR conversion to the N scale Bachmann 4-4-0.

Simple conversion for the loco since the motor "et al" is in the tender.

Following up a Lincoln Car next year, flat car etc at one issue per year for the 150th anniversary of the ACW.

Cheers!

Well, if I have to choose one single thing for this year, my election is

CIVILIANS!!!!

Western civilians, I mean. I would prefer WW2 western civilians, as we are now playing in the european eastern field, but I know most of the people out there would be also pleased with modern western civilians, so a set suitable for both periodes (as the actual arab/asiatic sets) is a must.

They are essential if you want to make a realistic town or city, and (unfortunately) you will always find some of them in any battlefield you play, as long as it includes any urban terrain. Playing in ghost towns is funny, but not realistic.

Ultra-modern (2003+) US infantry.

M4s/M16s (so we can do both Army and Marines) with ACOGs, IR lasers
Body armor covered with MOLLE pouches
Camelbaks
NVGs
kneepads
etc...

WW2 Germany alone has 6 different packs of infantrymen, but the longest period of conflict that America has ever seen is essentially not represented. The existing modern US infantry pack is barely sufficient for the 2001-2003 period before all the new infantry kit became common, and that's assuming you're ok with M60's standing in for your M240's.

Not to be cruel, but you have to include a missing leg and arm John Bell Hood in your All Star Lineup of western theater commanders. Hood was a hell of a brigade and division commander under Lee in the ANV, but he just couldnt comprehend the element of maneuver in his tactics on the Corps and Army level. Frontal assaults tend to wipe out your strength quickly, especially when your opponent is larger than you and is expecting you.(i.e. Ezra Church, Jonesboro, Franklin, Nashville)

I put my vote in on the HIMARS, the OH-13 Sioux helicopter, and the M-800/M-54 series 5 ton truck .

The missing limbs were assumed. Also, less lead and lower cost. GHQ should lower the cost of the package accordingly.

I'm not sure when John Bell Hood lost his limbs but you could always snip them off so you have a model that could be pre and post amputation!

Hood lost his limbs in 1863 when he was a division commander. The arm at Gettysburg and the leg at Chikamauga

-I'd like to see a bailey bridge combat commad set, and a similar german pionere set.

-Different types of US landing craft with and without loaded infantry (GHQ can make an 'embarked infantry set' to be sold separtely, similar to the 'mounted inf' for the trucks).

-MECHANIC SPAREs, like tank engines, mobile workshops, armour slates (these could be made out of brass, and then custom cut. the brass could have on one side little sculpted lines, so it would be easy to cut out regular shapes and adapt then as anti-tank rifle skirts). These item, with DRUMS and BOXES could add a nice touch to the battle field, and also to load the convoy trucks.
It could be really profitable for GHQ, because everybody would buy this stuff, and it would be relatively easy to sculpt.

My choice would be the 127mm dual purpose Japanese heavy anti-aircraft gun on a naval mounting for land use.

I'd vote for the German T22 Class, those things were everywhere. One of their more successful designs. The older "Torpedo" boats can be obtained from another vendor who shall not be named (They suffice), but only T22's are resin I think.
