Template lists for new Modern ranges

[Sunray]

Afraid not, Red3 already do some 10mm Arab-Israeli stuff, including infantry.

Correct.  Red 3 vehicles are neat. Infantry however are light on sculpt detail, and a bit Mr Blobby. Minifigs also have a range of generic Arab infantry.

Where Pendraken will be unique is the Egyptian are distinct from the Syrian with combat jerkins. Phil;s sculpts have alot more poses.

Do we have a date yet - answers of 1973 are not acceptable 

[John Cook]

As someone said above, it's easier to pick a specific time point and start your ranges there.  There were some uniform changes before 1973 I believe that would have limited some of the troop types, so we would have needed to double up some of the sculpt lists to cover those.  We tried that with the Korean range but the sales have been limited, so I didn't want to put too much money into this right off the bat.  Yom Kippur is the most requested part of the conflicts so it made sense to start there.

Leon, thanks for that.  It is clear enough now.  As an adult I've never been very impressed by either verbal or physical BS.  The Korean War has always seemed, to me anyway, one of the most utterly depressing wars of 20th Century, and too close the WW2 to be sufficiently different.  I look on the Crimean War in much the same way in a 19th Century context.  So, to be frank, I'm not surprised that sales have been disappointing.  It's a shame but you can't win 'em all.

Have to say the Korean War stuff I have are excellent models.

Yes, great stuff.

Will in any of these new figures provide suitable infantry support for the Swedish S tank?  What would be used for the 1950s Soviet invader's infantry?

Not sure at the moment, I've not looked at the Swedish army much so I'd need to see what's required there to be honest.

S-tank is roughly 70's through 90's. If you're doing the 50's you don't want an S-tank!

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

But you still need an Stank!

Good point; only in development in the fifties.  So I need 1970s infantry.  At least it would fit in with my West German army of that period ... well it would apart from that army being 6mm!

Dont the Swedes have odd helmets

[Techno II]

Well, we don't want to make them then. 

Cheers - Phil.

In case anyone's not seen it there is a Swedish army list still available for Coldwar Commander from the old SMP website.

In 6mm  I used H&R Cold War West Germans for my Swedish infantry, so would probably do the same in 10mm for all the differences there are, unless someone actually went to the trouble of making them.

Thats the beast. Doubt the Swedes would be commercial but would not be a huge investment - S tank, PBV301(based on 38(t) Chassis)  PBV302 and IKV91, plus their jeep like thingy.
