Ah, a SAILING reference... I even know what a jib is!

That's why my Armies are stuck with 20th century organizations and equipment even though it is now the 21st!

It isn't a question of budget, it is I'd rather push lead around the table than spend hours painting another battalion of: insert most recent model of kit you already have two battalions of but in the previous version and organization.


Plus for the time being anyway, I'm satisfied battling it out between my Russians vs US, U.K. and FRG forces in that era. I can also switch to AIW where I think I have more Cents, Pattons and Shermans than the IDF actually did in the 67/73 wars!

Cavdog,

Building and painting organizations is what I like to do though. No gaming for me.

At least in the 20th Century, you had units with some punch! Pure tank and mech bns to cross-attach, 8-piece Arty, and that wonderful J series ACR that could fight a REAL BATTLE, not a so-called ACR equipped with a wheeled piece of junk and that laughable MGS, and not worthy of the name! AGAIN, my Tim Allen going ORGH! ORGH! ORGH! It doesn't do any good to have all that air-deployable crap if all it does is give the Russians a good laugh while they're shooting it up! Sometimes, ya gotta just pay the price and ship it over! Or lease real tanks from the Brits!

Hey, a friend of mine just put together a board game for the covering force battle in the Fulda Gap, 11th ACR plus thickening units (I had an M60A2 platoon in on that). Interested? I will get details.

New thought for WW2 - command stands. Could be generic enough to use by most or all nations, include perhaps radio operator, staff members, couple of the boss men, table with map etc.

Now that it looks like a design has been chosen for the interim-SHORAD system in the US Army, it would be good to see the new Stryker platform in the list.

This gives a pretty good idea of the model.

Also, a small one, but maybe worthy of consideration.

Why not create a "North Korean AFV accessories" kit? Seeing as North Korean vehicles often carry at least one or two SAM systems, and particularly the Pokpung-Ho can carry...

A SAM launcher
An ATGM two-pod
and a twin 30mm grenade launcher position...

Then a North Korean AFV accessory sprue seems like a good idea!

Plus plenty of resources for those who do conversions :D

While I enjoy the expansion of the other GHQ lines and have a very healthy collection of both WWII and Modern GHQ, I am most interested in future expansion of the 10mm Napoleonic line. Are there any plans to expand the 10mm line?

Bump to keep it at the top!

As always, add my voice for new cold war infantry and SLR/boonie hat equipped troops that could act as South Africans/ British/ Australians etc!

COMPLAINT! (not really, BUT!) We have a new Bergepanther but no update of the M88. We have needed an M88 update for use with M1s for a long time. How about it?
