Russian and German items I'd like to see

[Ithoriel]

Some of this is mentioned in other posts so wasn't sure whether to add to those or if they were old enough for that to verge on necromancy! So apologies if I'm starting something new unnecessarily. 

Late to the party here but I'll add my vote for the Russian tracked 203mm howitzer. Used for direct fire in places as diverse as the Battle of Kursk and the Battle of Berlin so definitely something I want on table rather than as some imaginary off-board asset.

Also, not aware of having seen this mentioned anywhere here, though I may just have missed it, but any chance of an IL-2M Sturmovik for the aircraft range?

For the Germans, it would be nice to have a Panzer II L "Luchs" and a SdKfz.302 "Goliath" and controller(s).

Just some random thoughts from a newbie!

You want an SdFkz 254 don't you Ithoriel?

All that wheelie-trackie wierdness! That strange beetle-come-rodent aura, that familiar wierdness that is wierdly familiar. That pinnacle of Austrian technology, Ithoriel. Doesn't it call to you in it's mottled greyness, asking to be reborn in shining silver? You want one don't you Itoriel? You want a dozen SdKfz 254s to swoop around your Eastern Front.

Me? No, I'm strictly Western Front and Italy. No SdKfz 254's for me, thank you. Wouldn't be seen dead with one of those ugly contraptions in MY army.

I do remember it was the subject of a "spot the vehicle from the close up" comptetition in Military Modelling sometime in the 1970s.

Fast on roads, unstoppable off road - you want one don't you Ithoriel? Tell them Ithoriel, tell them you want SdKfz 254s for your army. In fact, you want all 140 of them!

T-35, T-35!, T-35!!, T-35!!!, T-35!!!!

[Ithoriel]

Alas, both the Sdkfz 254 and the T-35 are a little too early for my roughly Kursk era forces.

Though I can see the attraction of the T-35 if one is doing Barbarossa era actions - though possibly more realistic to portray it as a broken-down version "objective marker" 

The 254 is nicely eccentric - hadn't come across it before, so thanks - and the Germans had considerably more 254s than "Maus" tanks yet I've seen rather more of the latter than the former on the tabletop!

T-35, T-35!, T-35!!, T-35!!!, T-35!!!!

One per turret.

Kursk, Smursk!

Barbarossa's where the COOL people are! 

[freddy326]

you can never have too many turrets!

The T35 is beautifully ugly. Think it was ever paired with an Aerosan?

Regrettably, I think I'm talking myself into another spending round.

Of far more use would be a model of the Steyr Kfz 70 light truck (not to be confused with the Krupp Protze six-wheeler of the same designation).



Widely used in the panzergrenadier regiments, in appearance the vehicle looked something like the Horsch field car - but much bigger.

+1 on T-35. I have to buy the expensive Minifigs version.

I'd like to see a Komsomolets armored tractor T-20

Hi

I'd like to see a Komsomolets armored tractor T-20

I'd like to second that and add a request for a T-27 tankette.

Cheers

Was wondering about early war ww2 German MG teams containing ZB26/30 ZB37 and some MG08, MG08/15. These would cover all those 4th 5th and 6th Welle Infantry Divisions.

How about the peasant horse drawn panje wagon used by all sides and the most common means of moving supplies for both sides for most of the war

[Hertsblue]

How about the BA-10 heavy armoured car?
