I am another of the readers but not contributors of this forum, but I love the topic of new areas of expanding the range of figures so I’ll add my two cents. My painting range is ACW to pre WWII and as such would love to see more WWI, especially Balkan armies and provincial versions of the French. Even an Annemese set of WWI troops. But I would really love to see the RIF range added to with Spanish troops from the 1920s and see that expand into the Spanish Civil War. Soooo much room for sets and only some Bum figures or Minairons white metal.

Bob:Annamese (Vietnamese for WW1) just saw a photo - what a great suggestion 👏. I also support suggestion re Spanish troops re RIF war - we only have the Arabs from Strelets. Spanish Civil War is another superb idea. Someone in the thread referred to Haitans Revolt and Danes re Napoleonics. I add Neapolitan troops and set of the Emigres. The Revolutionary wars just before the Napoleonic remain uncovered. Just dreams that may be one day become true.

I’m one of those lurkers who’s been around for years but very rarely contributes. I would just be happy to see units from Waterloo completed like KGL light infantry, Dutch -Belgian Carabiners and Jäger/legere etc

I love and collect all periods and I'm very excited about all the suggestions above. However I feel that one of the most neglected areas of the hobby is the post 1945 era although Orion have recently brought forth a number of great Vietnam era sets. Some of these may not be commercially viable or could be controversial but I hope that one day Strelets produce some sets for :

Korean War (Commonwealth Troops, USMC and Chinese in winter clothing)
Indochina (French Foreign Legion, Paras, Vietminh, heavy weapons)
Middle East Wars Yom Kippur, Iran / Iraq War (Israelis, Egyptians, Syrians, Iranians, Iraqis)
African Wars in Angola, Rhodesia, Biafra, Congo, etc (African revolutionary armies, South Africans, Cubans, Sealous Scouts, Portuguese, Rhodesians, Biafra, Mercenaries, etc)
Falkland Islands (Argentinians, SAS)
Latin America (Contras, Sandinistas)
Afghanistan (1980s Soviets in winter clothing)
WW3 (1980s British, American and Soviets in NBC clothing)

Perhaps a generic set of "African Revolutionaries" like what Caesar did in the past could work. Or a generic set for the 1950s /1960s with older weapons and then a more modern set for the 1980s? Something similar could be done with a generic "Middle Eastern Arab Army" which could serve for Egypt, Syria, or Iraq.

Maybe one day...

As some have recommended the Spanish-American War, I also would like to buy the American figures to use in the:

* 55 Days at Peking
* Boxer Rebellion

One theme can satisfy two Periods of Conflict.
