Welcome to the Strelets Forum. Please feel free to discuss any aspect of 1/72 scale plastic figures, not simply Strelets. If you have any questions about our products then we will answer them here.
I just took a look at the future releases on PSR and there is nothing on my wants list, Mars have the WW2 British infantry coming , but that`s it. So I hope there are some surprises announced in the coming weeks or I will be spending 2022 making inroads to my stash.
Do not be down-hearted Alan. I'm pretty sure that at the start of 2021, twleve months ago, we were blissfully unaware of some of the fine figures and sets that Strelets have been putting our way this year. I'm sure that, all being well, there will be similar in 2022.
First in line will, of course, be those other WoSS cavalry sets, including the two Maison du Roi sets.
I had no intention of starting wish lists, but when in Rome, Generic artillery crews Allied and Axis ,all theatre's WW2 , but emphasis on Western Desert 41-43 , no shortage of German 105mm guns , but no crews for the desert, the same for 25 pounders. Gurkha's Mediterranean theatre, and this has me thinking about figures interacting ,for example in our old Airfix Robin hood set we have a pose with a staff held both hand above head, presumably fending off a blow, but in that set or the Sheriff of Nottingham set , only the guy swinging the axe could be an opponent, one sided and a predictable outcome , but my point , if we have a Gurkha striking with Kukri, surly with should have an axis soldier trying to fend off the blow, ditto thrusting bayonets etc. D-Day British/Canadians ignored, but three dedicated sets of GI`s, some levelling up needed on D-Day.

Or in other words....
1: Artillery crews for all combatants in the Western Desert/Mediterranean theatre, WW2.
2: Gurkhas 'in attack' (Mediterranean theatre)
3: British/Commonwealth forces for north-west Europe, 1944-45.
Not sure about the middle one of these, but I'll happily go along with Alan's musings on 1 and 3.

Marmite and sprout sandwiches, love Marmite and don`t mind sprouts in moderation, my wife puts Marmite on our roast spuds, delicious, but I have to say your sandwich suggestion is a form of torture I had never imagined. :joy:
