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 GC,

Thanks for mentioning my name and my previous suggestions.... I didn't think anyone listened to my inane ramblings :-)

There are many fine suggestions on the list. Obviously not all are of interest to me personally, but they will be to others no doubt.

I am going to make a few more suggestions...but not those which I know other manufacturers are already making...no point doubling up:


- Cavemen/Neanderthals/CroMagnons (to fight against each other, as well as pre-historic animals).

- Ancient Amazons.

- Napoleonic Ottomans (already metioned by Brian!!).

- Perhaps the Mysore Wars and Sikh Wars could be added....after the Indian Mutiny range is completed of course :-)

- WWI Austrian Cavalry and early French Cavalry.

- Early WW2 in the Desert...figures with Pith Helmets, etc.

- The list shows Arabs and Israelies for the 1973 War...I would add "and/or the 1967 War".

- FFL Paras for the 70s/80s and Generic African Regular Army/Rebel Army.

- Forces for the Iran-Iraq War. The Iraqi figures would also work for Gulf Wars 1 and 2.


Best regards,
Andrew

will be on the next updated list - 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!

AWI RANGE TO ADD

Hi evreyone,

We forget the superb AWI period with all the possibilities.

Cheers.

Re: AWI RANGE TO ADD

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.

Re: AWI RANGE TO ADD

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

Re: * Wish List Compilation for April 2014 * (For Fun and Thinking Out Loud Only)

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!
