World War II Wishlist?

[arundel]

Just put this in another post, but I'll say it again here: I would love to see British troops (and Aussies) for the CBI theatre in WWII. I would love to do Burma!

And Gurkhas, and Indians...

I've added the China/Burma/India stuff to my lists.  I could see it being done at some point as it would be one of the few areas of WW2 that we'd be missing, although we haven't had many people mention it before.  Me and Dave have spoken about doing some Chinese to go with the Japanese already, but the most requested area at the moment is the Polish.

From the farthest part of the Empire, if you are going to include those damned convicts then you should also include those "loyal sons of Empire".
Just my tuppence worth.

You can add my vote to arundels request, now we have the start of the Japanese range the more opposition the better. I really like the idear of the Chinese though.

[arundel]

Well, since I'm not able to resist those Japanese, I guess I'll have to go ahead and get some marines when they become available... While they don't quite have the panache of Burma, Saipan and Okinawa could be very interesting!

[YORSTONS]

Never mind about Saipan and Okinawa, follow me and General Yamashita as we advance down the Malay peninsular to take that bastion of imperialism, Singapore.
Plenty of options available for the British,Aussies and Indian troops from the WW2 and WW1 ranges.

[arundel]

Well said, Yorstons! Anything that gives me an excuse to paint up a lot of Japanese armour!

[YORSTONS]

Yes, Japanese armour. When did you say they would be available Leon did i hear the word soon??

Hopefully there might be something for us at the Durham show this weekend.  I'll let everyone know as soon as we get anything.

I'm interested in doing Squad Leader (tm) with miniatures in 10mm. To this end I'd like to see broken figures or casualties of the current ww2 infantry ranges.

Poses wouldn't necessarily have to be of wounded chaps - but more like the back of the SL counters, i.e. prone chap with discarded rifle or  holding head in hands etc.

IIRC PBI ruleset also uses casualty markers so there might be some crossover demamd here.

[MooseDontBounce]

Good idea.  For BKC, I've just started using dead figures, with 1, 2, 3, etc. on them for hit markers and surrendering figures for suppressed units.

They look better then the tiny dice but sometimes it's easy to forget them.

[Leon]

We've got:

GR114:  Dead markers
GR115:  Surrendering, hands on helmet

BR115:  Airborne dead markers
BR143:  BEF surrendering

Are these any use?

[ziparoo]

Leon: possibly. I'm more after little chaps in pinned or cowering poses. Are there any photos of surrenduring chaps on flickr?

[Leon]

The BEF surrendering is in this pic of the masters.  We don't really have anything cowering, or pinned down.  I'll add them to the list though.

[ziparoo]

Thanks Leon, I'll order some of the suggested minis & see how they go.
