Dedicated all weather day/night attack plane
My one item would have to be a modern microarmor model of the A6 Intruder. I know, I know,...my name, I am biased. I used to be a plane captain on A6's in the Navy. But seriously, here is my reasoning: the A6 has been involved in jsut about every conflict since Korea, starting in Viet Nam, where it made it's debut, right up to and including the Gulf War. With very little change to it's outward appearance, it was a ground attack workhorse. From Wild Weasle missions to mining harbors it pretty much did it all...and did it well. It's suited for wargaming, unlike some of the models on GHQ's lists that were either primarily or solely air superiority fighters and had no real ground attack capabilities. The A6 wasn't elegant, or pretty, or fast...she just did her job and did it well, any place, any time, any weather.

Bridging Units
Great idea, Luca! But don't limit it to WWII, the modern era could use some of these bridging unit combat commands too with loaded vehicles and a deployed bridge.Luca wrote:-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.

British need the Starstreak HVM (High Velocity Missile) on stormer chasis designed to counter threats from very high performance, low-flying aircraft and fast 'pop up' strikes by helicopter attacks

I'd like to see a Patriot Missile Battery Set or CC, The Launch platform, AN/MPQ-53 and/or AN/MPQ-65 Radar Set, and a reload vehicle.Holdfast wrote:NATO Air Defence

I mentioned this a while back. It would be pretty awesome.Maple-leaf-Warrior wrote:I'd like to see a Patriot Missile Battery Set or CC, The Launch platform, AN/MPQ-53 and/or AN/MPQ-65 Radar Set, and a reload vehicle.Holdfast wrote:NATO Air Defence

The French Panhard EBR-75 armoured car. I'd really prefer the FL-11 turret version, rather than the FL-10 turret type used on the AMX-13 light tank.
As it was designed before WW2, it would do well for Wehrmacht-47.
If GHQ managed a EBR-ETT personnel carrier (which is to the EBR-75 what the AMX-VCI is to the AMX-13), it would be pretty cool.

To this point I have been somewhat shy to ask for more items in coming years. So far MANY of the items I put on prior lists have shown up, and frankly, I have not been able to buy and paint up my new GHQ models as quickly as GHQ has been able to sculpt and cast them!
But there is one thing I would like to see in the catalog going forward. I'd like to see it enough that I'll stick my neck out and ask for it.
I'd like to see command / commo figures.
We have officers. But what I'd like to see are dedicated packs with a few officers and soldiers, and commo gear.
Particularly in WW2, most field radios and field telephones were big affairs. German company-level "portable" radios were 3-man portable! Italian infantry radios had big hoop antennae. Only the US had "handy-talky" sets that an individual could hold to his hear to talk.
Yes, engineering kit would be nice too. But every game I play has, or should have, dedicated command HQs and a commo network. I'd love to figures to model that.
