Actually, Wiesel is a great option!

T-64BV is another significant hole in the range, especially with the sudden increased popularity of Cold-War era moderns spurred by Team Yankee...

I really like Cav Dog's idea of filling out the Soviet Infantry Hvy Weapons, I wrote a very detailed proposal for contents in December and it was lost in the ether before posting.
I will attempt to recall a few of my ideas. (This post was in progress last week and something came up but luckily this time I was able to save it in word.)

I believe the SPG-9 mold already exists as it is included in the BTR-50 packs no? I believe it was also included in the unfortunately OOP Individual Soviet Mechanized infantry pack. I would never have known except I acquired a few of those packs on Ebay a couple of years ago. Either way it is needed in the new H.W. pack.

I don't really have a problem using the existing Soviet MGs to represent any of them at this scale, but that's me.

I forget if we currently have any DM/Sniper figures, if not a half dozen in the pack would be useful.

I believe there were MANPADS in the OOP Desant Infantry pack too, so I guess they are again needed.

Some RPO-A operators would be a wothwhile addition I believe.

I would strongly argue for including a few 2B9 Vasilek mortars to the pack. It's an interesting piece that is hard to find in this scale.

Sagger ATGMs
SPG 9 Tripod mounted recoilless rifles
SA - 7/14 SAMs
RPD/RPK machine guns
Appropriate crews, radio men, spotters and leaders

This would complement and round out the existing AGS - 17 grenade launchers, RPG 7/16 and 120 mm mortars in the existing blister allowing a full complement of support weapons in the Motor Rifle Battalions of the Soviets as well as many client states in the Middle East and Africa.

Thanks to everyone who has joined into the discussion. We wanted to let you know that we have not forgotten about this, things have just been busy. We should have the poll up within a week, and it will probably run 2 weeks, or maybe a little longer just to give enough time to participate. Once the poll is up, please feel free to use this thread to lobby for your ideas.

Thank you,
GHQ

Well, if it's not too late, I would like to see an Israeli Pereh tank. You could make a package of three chassis, with three turrets in the 'stealth' configuration, and three turrets with missiles ready to fire. You already have the Magach chassis, so this item is one-third complete.

Well slap my ** CENSORED **, and call me happy! I haven't been on the forum for a while, and didn't think to look for this year's releases. In that case, how about the Israeli version of the M-163?

I read over the messages and would like to add:

Aircraft: Russian SU-7 used in the Cold War and by Arab air forces; A-4 Skyhawk used by the USA in Vietnam and Israeli Air Force

I also like to see Russian Cold War 'heavy weapons' set as they can be used for Arab-Israeli scenarios and Cold War 1970's-into 1980's.

Tanks: version of the M551 Sheridan without the TC weapons 'tub' as was in an earlier miniature; used in Vietnam and in cavalry units until 1978; M60A2 tank that was used in the mid-to-late 1970's, taken out of service in Germany in 1982.

October War of 1973 and Cold War of 1970's now can be played with all equipment and units.
