No need to apologize. I guess my comments sounded more adversarial than they were intended ;)
My point is, there are sure a lot of want lists out there, mine included, I fear I will never live to see what I want to see. I hope the next few years see the list chipped away at instead of valuable time and resources used to make more and more of the same.
I hope that sounded more nice. :)
Your list is fine.
i never thought id see fantasy sets like lotr in 1/72 ever come,so one can only hope most wish lists are indeed chipped away at.
Re: * Wish List Compilation for April 2014 * (For Fun and Thinking Out Loud Only)
WOW! That's an ambitious list! I especially liked the suggestions for the
Jacobite Wars. Now that there are infantry for both sides, artillery and cavalry are really a must. also really liked the Native American and Age
of Discovery Ideas.
Re: * Wish List Compilation for April 2014 * (For Fun and Thinking Out Loud Only)
DONE Brian, I've already updated the SanDisk Memory Stick. Your new wishes will be at the top of the next updated list - NAPOLEONIC WARS section.
I'm not able to update directly to the Forum, so I will post the next newest updated list either (1) when this one drops off the current Forum page, or (2) on the 1st of each new month, (May 1st would be next).

Hello GC could you add Franco Prussian War French Cavalry and Prussian infantry and WW1 Belgians, Austrian cavalry , ,Italian Arditi , Austrian heavy weapons , Italian heavy weapons and for Strelets Arms British Mk5 tank and Minerva Armoured Car Many thanks
Re: * Wish List Compilation for April 2014 * (For Fun and Thinking Out Loud Only)
Dear Alex M, That "Minerva Armoured Car" is really neat! Here is a link to a diorama of a Belgium Patrol under attack by German Uhlans. S*R has made the Uhlans already which I have and are a favorite set of mine. Thank you!
Re: * Wish List Compilation for April 2014 * (For Fun and Thinking Out Loud Only)
Hi Andrew, Thank you for the many, fine suggestions. I added a "PRE-HISTORIC & FANTASY" Section at the top of the list. You'll see your requests beginning there. I tried to clean up the more modern conflicts / wars and you'll see your later requests there. Cheers!
Awesome list Mr. Clay, thank you for being so inclusive. I would love to see those 20th century French sets become a reality, as well as the Foreign Legion. This hobby doesn't have too much of either subject.
Dear CPN and Colin D, I'm a big fan of the AWI and the FFL also. Under AWI, I took the liberty of listing "Mohawk Warriors", something nobody has really made in proper scale (scale creep), or already have planned and in their pipelines. Re FFL, well, what a history! I hope you guys can find them listed in the proper Eras you want. Feel free to let me know if I need to clean up any of your requests. Cheers!

Boxer Rebellion (1898 – 1900)
• Chinese Imperial regular infantry (Boxer war).
• Chinese Imperial artillery, including Gingal (Boxer war).
• German Sea Batallion
• Schutztruppe
• British Navy in Straw Hats
• Japanese Army in Winter Blue and Summer White
Thanks for compiling this extensive list.
When you do the next update, can I please ask you to tidy up a mistake I made. The chinese gun is actuall spelled Jingal (not Gingal) in English.
If anyone is interested, that is a massive rifle, even much bigger than the enormous WW1 German AT rifle, as can be seen here:

That would sure make for an unique sight on the table! Thank you, Pa

Dear Pa,
Now that's a gun! I'd love a pair of Imperial Chinese shooting the gun like in the picture. I'll cross my fingers. I've updated the list. I do hesitate to put links in the list, but hopefully I've entered enough info for anyone to look up this interesting weapon. Thank you!
