new releases

[Gordon Tweddle]

Any word of what will be released for 2017/18 yet ?

[33YearsGHQ]

They are likely to be posted later this week.

[Brutzel]

I hope they produce some suggestions from us.....

[Donald M. Scheef]

Well, it's after business hours in Minnesota now and still no announcement of GHQ's 2017-2018 releases.
This is disappointing to me; I had intended to spend the weekend updating my lists, planning my budget, and writing my evaluations of GHQ's choices.
I hope it's not too much longer.

I am disappointed as well. I remember the good old days (just a few years back) when they were announced on the exact same day each year - May 22 or 23.

[chatto]

It took til pretty much bang on end of June last year - I guess it'll be the same again.

[33YearsGHQ]

chatto,
Actually that is not correct. The list was released on June 1, the scheduled month of releases was released late in June. Not that it matters!

[kiasutha]

I was hoping we'd have seen it by now ,too.
I received the web special e-mail on the 26th., and it noted that the schedule was nearly complete and would be on the forum soon.
Maybe some last minute changes/additions? One can hope...
Meantime, I've just been notified my copy of volume 2 of "Magyar Warriors" should be here on Monday- so plenty to keep occupied with- not to mention a substantial "hit" to the charge card...

[chatto]

Really? It was released on June 1? Huh, they must have taken their time putting the info up on the board then - I was admittedly only going by the posting date on the 2016-2017 release cycle forum page

Chatto,
Since you have not taken the time to look, here is the initial posting on June 1st (it was posted on this site).:

Okay cool. I made a mistake with how I read the date and thought it said 28 June; I must have been looking at another forum post at the same time and got them mixed up...

...but come on, honest mistake, sheesh.

[Donald M. Scheef]

It is an honest mistake. The list of new models was released at the start of June; the schedule of their release was near the end of the month.

Chatto - see, we were both correct!

GHQ, bring on the new releases so I am not grumpy!!!

[CG2]

Maybe it's tactical? Tommorrow is the 6th June so maybe we're getting a D-Day surprise? Churchill funnies? Sherman DDs? Mulberry Harbour Components? LST(2) Combat Command?

Probably not, they're just late again, but feel free to speculate on what you might want to see on a D-Day theme!

[Donald M. Scheef]

What might I want to see on a D-Day theme? Since I concentrate on Micronauts:
Mulberry Harbour components – Phoenix units, Whale & Beetle units, Spud units, and Bombardier units

Active military ships: Many of these I would like to have regardless of D-Day, for example, HMS Scylla. Some I would like to have mostly because they were at the Normandy landings, such as HMS Boxer. A few, like Nordkap, are interesting only because they participated in this battle.
