GHQ, what do you think about pmskaar's idea? Would you make just the turrets for M60A2, since the appropriate chassis (M60A3 chassis with more correct air cleaner box)? You old model is FAR better than the other guy's M60A2.

I was just searching for images of the M58 MICLIC and found a US ARMY artice labout some engineers getting their first training experience with a MICLIC device (inert). The scariest thing I read was "I've been in for 15 years and never been near one".

Yikes, sounds like army engineer (sapper) training should be stepped up a bit.

GHQ,
Recognizing that the original posting in this thread is not necessarily in sequence (or even finalized), the first releases should be showing up in less than three weeks. Could you let us know what is planned for release at the end of June?

10mm lines

Post by SFCDODGE65 »

Has GHQ decided not to expand the 10mm lines for ACW and Napoleonics? I have a large number of the Napoleonics and was hoping to see that line expand.

As all of our long-time customers know, we put together our new release lists for a year at a time. All of our new releases are driven by customer requests, and we are never sure about what is going to be requested. Unfortunately, lately a lot of customers have decided not to buy a lot of the 10mm lines. We wish that it weren't true, but for the time being we aren't getting a lot of 10mm requests. Our Modern Micronauts fans will probably remember that we went for quite a long time, and didn't have any Modern Micronaut releases. For the last few years we have 4-5 each year, we have added some new navies, and our Modern Micronauts are a pretty hot category for us. It's always tough for us to answer a question that starts with something like "Are you ever going to make..." We never know exactly what directions we are going to go on some things year-by-year.

Thank you for your support,
GHQ

You may not be able to please everyone with the production variants for each year GHQ... but I'm going to go out on a limb and suggest you may have pleased Panzergator hahaha! :lol:

I personally quite appreciate the Modern Russian and T-55 Enigma vehicles. The Boxer IFV will be interesting for my Aussies since it is currently one of the vehicles in contention to replace the ASLAVs in our recon troops... it and it's original variant will mix well within my Singaporean army I am building as well as the Boxer looks reasonably close to the Terrex design.

I hope to see some more insurgents, or even a line of 'Kurdish Infantry' in the future.

We also have some unique infantry options such as Singaporean and Australian Army infantry who both would have some very unique weapon sculpts, but at the same time (especially with the Aussies) allow for some more universal use, and Singapore also has some amazing home-made equipment like the Bionix IFV and the Primus self-proprelled howitzer.

Roll on 2017-2018 for those I say :)

I want to second panzergator's comment abot it being like CHRISTMAS IN JULY! Now all I have to do is get the family CFO to approve a purchase order... yikes! :lol:

And not only do I want to thank GHQ for producing one of my most-wanted models... but I also want to thank GHQ for their active participation in these Forums! It shows that GHQ cares about their customers by taking the time to get involved on a more personal level.

Thank you, GHQ!

If you fine folks keep producing modern warships for Asian navies, I might take the plunge and buy some micronauts. They would mostly sit offshore while I conduct amphibious operations, but.....hey.....if you're gonna make 'em, I might as well field 'em, right?
