How about some anti tank rifles so we can make a complete early war company?
Would love to see the following :
1. British Challenger Tank (WW2)
2. British Tank commanders
3. Crew for vehicles / SPG's

Amazing job on those figs on your site, you should start a thread in the Photo's section as well!
How about some WW2 French infantry or some WW2 Japanese. Any chance of the LOTR "type" fantasy figs for big battle ?
chris
I'd love WW2 French as well...
Some partisans would be good too - maybe some West & some East...although there are, most likely, existing figures which could be used for these - which leads me on to another thought (shared this with Dave a while ago) that there are a number of things which are useable across ranges / periods etc which could do with being either packaged differently - or listed as 'miscellaneous' - in order to make it easier to find them...
An example of this would be GR44: Boxes & Sacks...I *always* add a few packs of those to any order because they're so useful - and not just for WW2 Germans!
I've got a list of these somewhere...I'll see if I can find it.

I believe there are some more French planned somewhere, I'll check on that. As for Japanese, it's been discussed quite a few times, but it's finding a designer with time on their hands, as ours are currently all busy!
With LOTR, there are a lot of figs that could possibly look right if necessary. We've got the Halflings which would do for Hobbits, a wizard that would do for Gandalf. FE11 is the Wood Elf cavalry that look very much like the Nazgul (if you chop the spear off). The Rohirrim could maybe be represented by the Norman cavalry? We've got Goblins and Eagles as well. The Urukhai could prove a problem, I'm not sure if our Orcs would look right? And the problem is you obviously can't get them sculpted for copyright reasons. Not sure what else would fit in, maybe someone else can offer some other alternatives?

Partisans / Generic Militia have been requested before, but we thought we'd wait and see how the SCW range turned out to see if this would work?
I've considered before somewhere to provide lists for customers of how different ranges can work for various conflicts. A good example would be Maximilian, which can be put together from various codes from all over our ranges?

Excellent cant wait to see them will be nice to actually put motorbikes out instead of horses.
Thanks

Romanian TACAM-60 and TACAM-2; and 75mm DT-UDR 26 (Resita) AT guns - one of the best in the war, and only from Romania.
Canadian C15TA Armoured Trucks - for when I get around to a Canadian force.
I also would like Russian motorbikes.
Less vehicle oriented -
o dismounts for your WWII Soviet cavalry - or soviet cavalry in helmets.
o Soviet infantry in pilotka caps.

I'll have a think about where would be the best place to start a list like that.
There are a load of pics of the SCW on the Flickr account:

And another non-vehicle - Russian 75mm battalion guns - with the big rubber wheels AND the limbers, please.
More Italian Tanks, Aircraft and 90mm AT gun and extra figures and tanks for Russia
T26 and BT5 russian tanks please and anything missing for 1938 war
The BA3 or BA6 armour car too for the SCW. Second the need for BT5s and T26Bs.
I know you do the T28, but early war actions need some of its bigger brothers, especially for the Finnish front, and possibly even the Japanese front IIRC?
Also, some German recoilless artillery like this:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/7.5_cm_Leichtgesch%C3%BCtz_40
US Marines and Japs
I've been on-record as not-being-interested in the Pacific theater....mostly because you guys don't make them ;)
But I'm with Stefan here - I could be tempted - MF are too skinny - give me decent PD figures & I'll buy a shedload!
What i would really love to see is for the tank commanders to be made with a plug type fitting. So you can buy the tank with a plug turret or a commander, you would then plug the turret with the plug with a turret hatch on top or with a tank commander, complete with hatches. so in theory his waist down is the plug that goes into the turret, makes it more secure........
How about some tank crew sat down idle and drinking cups of tea :) would be good to see whilst the poor old 1 para guys try in vain to hold a bridge :(
its the personallity figures that actually make up the presentation, gives it more of a varied look. ( peter pig civil war range comes to mind here :) )
1. Officers / observers actually using the binoculars they hold..
2. Paratrooper with his little cart (as per FOW)
3. more varied poses , like kneeling down with a piat , kneeling down with an SMG, etc (covers most ranges)
4. possible crew for vehicles (staff cars / jeeps/ trucks/ spg's, etc)
5. Dingy crews, ( paddle powa!! )
6. Personality figures ( its where FoW excels slightly, even though i hate it :) )
AFAICT the BA6 is just an earlier version of the BA64 you do. The big visual difference is that the BA6 uses the T26B turret, though no doubt there were other differences too, which someone can enlighten us about maybe?
A SdKfz 231 (8 rad) would be good
Cheers

Japs first so they can fight my early russians army when you bring out the T26's and BT5's "hint" 8)

What about Tadpoles too? ;D
Italian artillery would be great. How about a pack of POWs!!!!
World War 2 British Comet Tank. I know only 1 regiment used them in action but they would give more options to late WW2 games.
From World War 1
British 8" Howitzer
British 12" Howitzer
British 15" Howitzer (should be a real monster model :D)
German 410mm Howitzer (Big Bertha)
Polish 1939 troops. You can't have a Blitzkrieg without them. Surely some of the Polish battles in those fateful September days were interesting enough to warrant the Pendraken treatment.
And since it pays to be honest I'll admit that I have a particular reason for asking. I want to recreate the life and battles of the 2. Panzer Division (founded in 1935 by Guderian himself) who saw just about every European battlefield of WWII to the exception of Norway and Italy. They participated in the 1939 Blitz in Poland before seeing the French off to Bordeaux and teaching the Brits to swim at Dunkirk. After that it was Greece, Russia, Normandy, the Ardennes and finally the Wacht am Rhein. Plucky bastards. It's Patton what did 'em in, but only in May 1945.
Anyway, can we haz some Pendwaken Polish pweaze? :-*
Quote from: Leon on 18 March 2010, 06:02:51 PM

Great, Leon. I really hope you guys will consider it worth your while one day. Poland had quite a versatile little army at the time: highly mobile infantry on horseback, all sorts of self-produced tankettes, excellent anti-tank artillery that was more than a match for German hardware. This makes for some interesting what-if scenarios as well. If only they'd had a bigger, more up-to-date air force and the Soviets off their backs that Blitzkrieg might've been a wet petard.
Hello,
I have the following suggestion for french WWII :
D2 medium tank (a lot of them fight in the Montcornet and abbeville battle).
Panhard 178 armord car.
lorraine carrier for the french "dragons porté"
laffy armord car with anti tank gun (french tank hunter)
of course french infantry and dragon porté (motorized infantry).
tirailleurs sénégalais et algériens.
25mm and 47mm anti tank gun.
hippomobile wagon for french artillery
laffy command car.
For the 1939 german vehicule :
Sturmpanzer I ausf B Bison with sig 33 howitzer.
sdkfz 263 6 rad with antenna for HQ
sdkfz 221
thank,
Keram
Thanks for the list, I've added all that to our requests. Have you seen the Laffly 50AM armoured car (code FRE5) that we released in March?
We also have the Sdkfz 221 armoured car (code GR142).
Yes I ve seen the Laffy armored car but there where few in use in the 1940 french organisation, the most popular is the panhard 178, but I will bought the laffy armored car sooner because I like this kind of vehicule.
Ok for the german 221.
I ve see on the gallery that the us bazooka A16 is a standing man, but I ve bought the same ref and my us bazooka is all but not a bazooka. It look like an big panzerfaust in the hand of big us soldier kneeling. Have you change the ref since or it is an new release ?
Keram
The US bazooka is just a tube. The panzerfaust has the bomb visible at the end?

I know it would be AWESOME!!! and I'd probably buy at least 12-15 of each ;)) As far as the Ratte - yes what a monster!!! I know that Takara (one of the makers of the 1/144 scale tanks) released one about 6cm long, though I haven't seen one.
My vote for some developmental WW2 tanks/planes as well.
How about a Horton 229 flying wing ? A Ratte tank would be very cool on the table :D

Hello,
May I suggest for the 1943-44 period, french resistance FFI and german, the french civilian car "Traction avant citroen 15D" ? The german use a lot of them.
Also, for the desert range british army, the SAS jeeps and LRDG Chevrolet with commando LRDG crew ang machine gun.
That will be great for LRDG scénario against italian or DAK troops.

After speaking to the designer, he said you can use the Russian ones just as easily. We've also got some Italian motorcycles coming as well.
with the launch of the Toldi1 for the Hungarians, and as a Russian front wargamer I would love to see the following
Turan 1, Turan 2, Zyrini assault guns, Csaba a/c and Nimrods for the Hungarians.
R2 ( which is also the PZ35t for Germans and called the S11a by czech and later Slovak armies) and R1 tankette, Tacams SPG and the Renault R35 for Romanians the Renault being the most common tank in europe as the french sold it to Poland, Rumania, Bulgaria, Yugoslavia and if your into that sort of thing Peru, Bolivia, Paraguay, etc ,this is on top of over 2000 in French service, the most common tank in the French army in 1940,
and of course the Russian T26, in 1941 the most common Russian tank in its various models and the mainstay of the Finnish armoured formations after the winter war, and BA10 and BA20 armoured cars
ho hum that should have been over 1000 Renault R35 in french service , 23 bttn at 45 tanks per bttn and 316 in reserve stock on 1/5/1940 ,and over 2000 built Oh and while I,m a wishing some T40 and T60 light tanks for my Russians, and then of course theres the Poles in 1939, a whole other game.
Another note on motorcycles: The new BKC rules allow the motorcycle units to dismount, so empty motorcycles - could be quite generic - might come in handy for some.
Been having a think and came up with the following to add to the already very long list.
Japanese landing craft,Allied landing craft, costal arttillery, Italian field guns and askaries,Stuka dive bomber and tank buster.

I'll add the others to the lists.
Is there any possibility of a couple of WW2 Italian artillery pieces? Minifigs make the 75mm which does not look like the Italian 75mm, crew are in good poses but are too small.
polish 1939
cavalry, infantry, planes, artillery, tankettes, civilian fighters, armoured train..... please!
dziękuję bardzo!
Desperately need Panzer III G or H for Noth Africa (50mm 38/L42 gun versions).
Thank you!

Some Siberian Infantry in Snow suits would be very good, do not need to worry about MMG's or Mortars as these just wore the normal winter uniform and they are already produced.
An amphibious jeep which was widly used by Soviet recon units.
A supply cart
Is there any chance that when you get round to doing the BEF 1940 you might do the 18/25ld field gun and dragon carrier? I was going to get them from "Pithead" but they appear to have gone bust!
We picked up the BEF figures today at Triples, so I'll take some pics before Salute if I get chance. I think we're doing/done the field gun, but I'm not sure on the carrier.
And early war Brits, please.
Also 8th Army, Afrika Korps and italians would be useful for me.

Am currently building up a force of American para's for ardennes and could do with a few more poses, like maybe some kneeling troops, tossing a handgrenade and maybe even some prone figures. I base my figures individually if anyone is wondering why I need more poses! :P
Early WWII could be tempting to look at, I have seen some of the photos of other WWII figures done by members and they look great, but early is tempting if you can get the figures
Second the AT rifles.
Keep up the great work.

Well I ve forgotten to ask for Free French Troops of the First French Army who has fight in Italy and France whit operation Anvil (DDay in Provence, south of the France) the 15 august 1944.
Yes that will be great to see the following figures:
- French Foreign legion of the 13 demie brigade (fight in Bir Hacheim and First French Army)
- Tabor marocain and algerien in djellaba and adrian helmet. (Remember Monte Cassino)
- French commandos with colonial helmet
I know you say "you can use us infantry" but not for all. Thos troops are the french exception because of their uniform.
Thanks to think about them.

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...
----------------------------------------
Edit: Post moved to own topic.
Megamatman.
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.
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!
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.
Well said, Yorstons! Anything that gives me an excuse to paint up a lot of Japanese armour!
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.
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.
We've got:
GR114: Dead markers
GR115: Surrendering, hands on helmet
BR115: Airborne dead markers
BR143: BEF surrendering
Are these any use?
Leon: possibly. I'm more after little chaps in pinned or cowering poses. Are there any photos of surrenduring chaps on flickr?
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.
(http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4050/4541033671_77cb755bd5.jpg)
Thanks Leon, I'll order some of the suggested minis & see how they go.
You can put me down for Chinese 1920 to 1949,Please
Paul
Hi Leon, i recived my first order of Japanese on Friday and what great little figures they are i look foward to seeing the Tanks very soon.
Now i my be a little greedy but we need some artillery support, high command with a staff car, perhaps a truck and of course those bycicle mounted troops so we can start our blitzkrieg of the Malay peninsular.
Apart from those there will need to be some AA guns and maybe some cavalry, if you are going to do the Chinese and i suppose you could throw in some landing craft just to finish off.
The high command will be done, we'll have to see about a staff car for them. We're already planning to do a truck and the artillery, including the AA guns. Not sure about the cavalry and the landing craft at this point, but I'll add them to the list.

I am so not going to buy those Japanese - before I finish painting my Germans, my Russians, my Napoleonic French..
But what he ^^ said is right: some of the JP line look 'supatakurar' as our Janglish friends would say.

Only slightly..??!! :o
hi, going through my jagers and noticed that no-one makes a 7.5 recoiless lg40 or the larger 10.5 gun or the 7.5 Gebg 36 mountain gun. On the infantry side a pzb 39 or a 2.8 pzb anti-tank rifle would also be nice.
if you can think of alternatives please let me know as my jager find it hard when the drop in uninvited.

Right then, after a quick chat with Dave!
We've got:

HI
what about to expand the US infantry range? Adding for example more standing and knee firing and 1 or two more advancing figure?
Greetings
There was reference to there only being one vote for a Pzkw IIIG.
Note that the 50L42 (more generally known as the 5cm kurz) armed Pzkw III was the mainstay of the German panzerwaffe from mid 1941 to early-mid 1942 in both North Africa and, more importantly, on the Ostfront.
The later Pzkw IIIJ (which I assume is the GR127 "IIIj" in the Pendraken line?) was armed with the 50L60 and is therefore known as the 5cm lang. This was what armed the Ausf L and M.
The 5cm kurz equipped retrofitted Pzkw IIIE-F (?), the IIIG (~600 vehicles produced Apr40-Feb41) , the IIIH (308 vehicles
produced Oct40-Apr41) and the early IIIJ (482 vehicles produced Mar41-Jul?42).
With the absence of a Pzkw III 5cm kz at present the T-26, T-34 and KV-1 appear not to have one of their commonest opponents during Barbarossa. There were no 50L60 armed Pzkw III produced until December 1941.
Regards
Edward
Thanks for the info Edward, the designer has actually asked for a PzIIIE back for him to convert the barrel to a later model.
With the existing WWI and WWII French range, I think you can cover pretty much most of the kit for France 1940. However, it would be really nice to have an 80mm mortar and crew if possible, pretty please with lace flowers :-*. That is the one thing really missing from the French infantry kit.
Now we have got BEF and 8th Army antitank rifles, what about the Axis?
I like to see early war German, Afrika Korps and Italians please.
Graham
Yeah, we'll be looking at doing all those at some point.
How about a British Comet rather late in the war but wouldnt mind one
And a centurion.
This has my vote
With the arrival of the very, very nice USMC range, may I be so bold as to request the following items be added to the range as and when time allows?
USMC with Bazooka (firer and loader x 3)
USMC with Flamethrower (firer and assistant x 3)
USMC with Browning MG (normal 3 in a pack)
37mm ATG with USMC crew
57mm ATG with USMC crew
LVT (A) 4 Ronson
LVT (A)1
LVT (A) 4
LVT (A) (note the existing British Buffalo maybe accpetable for this, but would bear further research)
M3 75mm GMC (SPM in Marine parlance)
It may be that some of the above are already in the pipeline or have been requested before, if so, please forgive me for repeating other requests.
Steve J.
Bazooka and flamethrower are in the next batch here: http://www.pendrakenforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=983.0 (http://www.pendrakenforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=983.0)
I'm sure some of the others will be done at some point. That'll be it for the infantry side of the Pacific, while we get the Schleswig Holstein range done. There's still the armour and some artillery planned though.
Thanks for the reply Leon. I thought I had seen the bazooka and the flamethrower as greens, but wasn't quite sure.
While I am mostly able to outfit my Marines with vehicles for the period, my Japanese infantry are getting a bit lonely. Any news on releases of vehicles for the WWII Pacific stuff? Thanks!
They were held up a bit due to the designer moving premises. We spoke to him at Edinburgh though, and he said that he would be getting to them this week for us. So hopefully, we'll be seeing them very soon.
In the meantime, there'll be some more Marines to keep you busy!
I suppose that will have to do, any chance of a preview list at least???
Hi, could I add a request for the A9 and A10 tanks? They seem to be a glaring hole in the early war range for the Brits.
EDIT: Could I also add a vote for the Panzer IIIG. And also add requests for the US M1 combat car and M2 light tank?
Thanks, Martyn
Just the light and medium to begin with, I think it's the Type 93 and the Type 97?

Added the Pz IIIG and the M1/2. The A9 and A10 are actually on the designers list, so should be done once he gets the Japanese tanks out of the way.

French MG Horse Limber??
French Horse Gun Limber
Hello,
I'm looking for any sort of limbers for our Spanish Civil War 1936.
What I'd like is any sort of horse driven limbers I could put next to our guns. A kind of generic limbers, that will also be use in our next campaign (France 1940)
any idea ?
(when I searched on your site I found LA11 for example, but I didn't guess what period is it..)
Thank you !
I use the various WWI limbers for WWII - it's a pretty generic industrial-period limber. For example, ME13a

I note you have the Centurion already on 'the list'. Is it possible to add a couple of turret varients - the most popular post war is with the 105 gun and not the 20 pounder.
model A - with 20pdr
model B - 105mm
model C - 165mm AVRE
no decent late Centurion on the market.

You know, if you start making Centurions, we're going to need T-54's and -55's, and probably M48's, and whole load of other things to go with them ....

Quote from: Leon on 19 August 2010, 07:50:04 PM
Yep! It all goes on the list!
Yes, but to get back to the thread - and the broad sales market of WW2- The missing tank has got to be the M24 Chaffee - Entered US service in 1944, and as late as 1978 were still in worldwide service with sereral armies.
Lets hear it for the M24 Chaffee!
Agreed - I'd love to see the Chaffee
We sent the M18 Hellcat hull back to the designer, so that he can convert it to the Chaffee, so it'll be done sooner rather than later!
I have just been browsing this thread and am excited at at Leons comments bellow
"Added the Pz IIIG The A9 and A10 are actually on the designers list, so should be done once he gets the Japanese tanks out of the way."
need to start saving as those 3 are all on my wishlist :-)

That makes my day ! The Chaffee has had a long service life, WW2, Korea, Indo-China, Vietnam, India/Pakistan, NATO until the 1990s (Noway) and still in front line service in Latin America !
It will be just as popular with gamers. Bring it on.
Ideal for AK47 type forces too.
Any interest ? Would be great to have some for DAK action against the Brits :)
Seeing as the japs have been released how about Australian Infantry and support weapon for Papa New Guine, after all we were the first to beat the japs on land. Note the the slouch hats should be with the brim down. Also some Fuzzi-Wussi Angels for support.
Would BR57-59 be suitable? Not seen them myself so no idea whether the brim of the slouch hat is up or down.
Hi Leon,
Now we have the start of this wonderfull range any chance of a couple of figures in kneeling poses.The great little LMG group lying prone do not really fit in with all the other figures who are standig/advancing. They just do not go well together on the same base.
Also any chance of some field guns and heavy artillery.
Haven't seen BR57-59 either but I think they are in desert garb. Difference between Aussie desert uniform and jungle greens is quite dramatic!
and that's the short(s) answer !
May I suggest LCVP for US Marines ?
Leon
Is the German Sdkfz 11 artillery tractor on the requests list? As my Ostfront 10.5cm leFH18s are towed by Maultiers I hadn't really focussed on this before but the previous 10.5cm leFH tractor - the Sdkfz 6 - ceased production in 1941 or so. The Sdkfz 11 was the main tow both for the leFH 18 and for the PAK40 and about 9000 were built 1938-45 - albeit there were early and late versions.
Regards
Edward
I would be interested in generic WW2 divers, frogmen and human driven torpedoes.
For wargaming harbour attacks and other special ops of British commandos, Regia Marina and German frogmen. I would also welcome waterlined midget submarine, waterline naval mines and buoys :)
Anyone else would be interested?
Hello,
OK for this beautiful pacific range but there is one thing you forget about : where the aircraft ?
Will you sell one day the following :
- Japon Zero fighter
- Japon Val dive bomber
- USA sbd Dauntless dive bomber
- USA Corsaire fighter bomber
- USA Avenger bomber torpedo
- USA Wildcat fighter
Yes without planes the marines are naked !!!
Thank to think about that.

What do you think this is a modern motorized army? Your troops should be more than happy to have Maultiers rather than horse drawn limbers ;)
although I do agree the Sdkfz 11 is an important omission.

There might be a couple of bits, we've got the crews, so there's probably some guns in the other ranges we can put them with.
Radio Jeep with WS22 & or WS18
Recce Jeep with option of WS22 or WS18 and twin(6th)/single(1st) Vickers K Gun
Standard Jeep with optional windscreen
6Pdr Towing Jeep with either M36 clusterpacks on bonnet or 6x round ammo containers on bonnet/fender.
Morris C8 17Pdr tower
Airborne Trailer with tilt.
Locust Light Tank
Para's on foldup bicycle

Para's with folding handcart
Airlanding with handcart

Engineer with Satchel Charge
Seperate ammo containers (17Pdr wooden boxes, 6Pdr aluminium, small arms ammo boxes)

These would be good. They're not available elsewhere and would enhance the airborne range.
Ammo boxes and the like would be generally useful for adding to artillery bases.

Did they actually carry all that stuff though? I have read the Wings of the Wind by Peter Stainforth he was an engineer at Arnhem and I do not recall talk of pole charges and bangalores. It may have been they did not have reason to use them and possibly they were used on other operations.
I wasn't sure if the engineers were meant to be Airborne or just general ones.
But if they are meant to be Airborne, then I'd think Satchel charges definitely. The other 2, maybe not at Arnhem but probably for D-Day. The Merville Battery assault had several gliders with very heavily equipped assault troops (though I only think 1 of the gliders made it to the general area of the battery).

Pole charges are home made from sand bags packed with plastic explosives. So dont need to be carried. But these are a generic airborne engineer not just for Arnhem, what about the 6th and their fight across Europe to the Baltic.
I could always get specific and ask for a airborne "Saw" Trailer or maybe a compressor trailer and engineers using warsop rock drill?
Other items carried among others are :
camouflet sets. No not a spelling error.
General wade Charges used for blowing the Orne/Caen river bridges.
Beehive Charges
Ropes
hand Tools
picks shovels etc.....a special drop was organised on D+1 i think to drop a load of shovels and picks.
AT mines.
Folding trolleys
Prima cord, fuses and other stuff that goes bang.
At Arnhem 9x flame throwers per Airborne Squadron/Platoon.
Hi Leon,
Any chance of some high command figures, maybe in greatcoats or without, you could even throw in a figure of H himself. Or maybe a personality pack with Guderian, Rundsted, Panzer Myer ect.
It would also be fun to have, say, Zhukov, Chuikov, Rokossovski, Khrushchev and the "Big Mustache"
Personality figures in general are a nice idea, providing nice looking distinctive command figures even if not in the role of their nominal character. But every country should have a selction. You do have some for the desert, which is nice.
personality type figures can enrich a game. I use 1/148 N gauge civilian figures to represent VIPs and politicians in my bush war scanarios. Even armed a few city types in suits and trench coats to represent secret service.
But yes, high command and staff officer types have their place on the table. Gets my vote.
Sunray out
Yes a few character figures are nice. The Arnhem command pack is good. And the command packs made by another producer are quite nice.
The only downside is that most people will only want the odd pack, unlike rank and file troops.

You could mitigate that a bit by offering paired "front packs" with appropriate personalities for each. And charge more - individual SYW and FIW commanders are more expensive than standard, I presume for just that reason.
I'd get more personality packs...Rommel & Monty are great, ditto SYW personalities - it's nice to have mini-me's on the table :D
Come on guys we need more VOTES!!!!!.
Yes please :)
And a vote for anything Chinese :-[
Paul
Brisbane/QLD/OZ
Cheers for that one, I would expect them to be very popular. I'll add them to the list. The only problem with personalities, as someone has already said, is that people don't tend to buy more than a single pack.

Thats no exscuse. The customer is king - remember.

I'm giong to proxy the A9 with the A13 for now but it'll get confusing when I need to use A9s, A10s and A13s alongside each other.

I hope your designer is feeling better. Did you get any news on the A9/A10 front at Warfare - I forgot to ask on Saturday.

Unfortunately there's been no improvement in his situation. They think it's something to do with anxiety, but he's going to see a neurologist to see if they can help. This does mean that he'll be out of action up until at least the end of February. :(
On a more positive note, we did speak with a couple of prospective sculptors over the weekend, who are going to do a couple of test models for us, so we'll see how they come out.
Any chance of some kit for river assaults? DUKWs, assault boats, bailey bridges and the like.
These would be nice - but I can't see anyone wanting too many.
Have you seen that there are a few river assault bits already - Buffalo, which comes with a waterline version, and fairly recently released rubber boats

British Comet tank for the drive across Germany
There was a lot of fun about my idea of "waterline stuff" ,you know bubbles ect :)
But I was in fact serious about some ww2 marine things. After watching ABOVE US THE WAVES film I am sure I would like to wargame some harbour special opperations.
What about the X-Craft midget submarine? Nice piece of British history and I think no manufacturer ever made it. This and a generic diver, yes may be waterlined :) . Bouoys for marking harbour defence nets and harbour searchlights would also come in handy. Anyone else would be interested in such things?
Think you are going to have to build that for yourself.

Nice to see some Finns. How about a Lahti light machine gun for the Winter War stuff? And, of course, some 'Continuation War' (41-44) Finns.
Do we have limbered AT and Infantry guns available? Like the 88 AA gun or the 105 Howitzer?
Hi, first post so might as well jump in with both feet! What I would like to see:
Russian 37mm AA (ground mount) -- these were the most common AA weapon in use in the Red Army, would be very nice to have.
Russian 85mm AA (ground mount)
Russian 50mm mortars
Russian 120mm mortars
Russian wagons
German Early War Anti-tank rifles (PzB39)

"SV48 120mm mortar with crew (3)" is what you mean with this one?
Others look useful, though wagons could probably be scrounged from other lists.

Cheers for that, I'd missed it (and will be ordering some)! Really need the 50mm mortars and 37mm AA though.
Is there any plans to make these as they are essential for Airborn Recce.

As far as Russian WW2 guns are concerned:
- a Dshk AAMG on or off a truck (I may well convert a Viet Minh one pro tem).
- 76mm M27 infantry howitzer (or possibly M43 on a 45mm AT gun carriage) - six equipped each regimental gun company and some rifle brigades had them as field artillery
- 122mm M30 divisional howitzers to go with the 76mm divisional guns.
I've proxied a Bofors as a stand in for the 37mm M39. Note that another manufacturer does do the 85mm AA.

I'm going to third this. The Soviet 76mm (76L16) M27 infantry gun is an important bit of kit that is sorely missing.
It's a re-work of gthe WWI feild gun I think, can check. So woukd just be a tyre replacement.
IanS
The M27 Infantry gun is a new design, not a reworked WWI model, I think. It's different from the Model 10P IG or the WWI field guns. Some similarities, but different shield, barrel and trail.
But as a further incentive, you can use it with Germans as the InfanterieKanoneHaubitze (IKH) 290(r) on all fronts. Some captured in Normandy, July 1944.
From my trusty series of WW2 Fact Files books...

What you've got there is a full field piece not an infantry howitzer. (Very nice though) On the other hand some units do sometimes appear to have been issued 76mm field guns for the regimental gun company.

Sturmboot 39 to go with the large assault rafts, to make ferries or powered assault boats.
Or French habert Sacs, for bridging or assault river crossings?
I will vote for that one, although I have modified the WW1 dispatch rider for the job, new para head, bikes look the same roughly!

Its a Hart/Audax variant, minor revisions mainly to do with the power plant and external fittings etc. On this scale they should all look about the same (or close enough) as it was an evolving design. The single seater Fury is the only one I know of being a pure single seater
Would fit in with the Spanish Civil War range as the republican air force did use a fair number of Hearts/Audax and Demons in the first half of the war. Also If I remember rightly, some fought in the Chaco war.
yes Leftfield, though don’t think it is totally out there though.

It would be great to see some inter/early war stuff:
US M2 medium tank
Pz 35(t)
Czech (or Slovak) Infantry
Polish everything.
sorry i thought it was massive lag.
The US M2 Medium is a waste of time, Polish TP-7 is a clone of Vickers 6 tonner - and or T-26
We do need Chaffee, and other comon used vehicles.
IanS
Am I the only one thinking that a late-war US Sherman should be added? I.e. A M4A3 with the new 47o glacis plate. Preferably all variants, so with 75mm, 76mm and 105mm howitzer. It would be nice to have a version with additional sandbag armour, as well. Versions with HVSS would also be good.
Besides being the version that was used more than any other by the US army, it also has a lot of uses in later conflicts (Korea being the prime example). And it would be a good start if you want to do the later Israeli versions, as well.
Quote from: Leon on 09 March 2010, 09:55:56 PM
I've considered before somewhere to provide lists for customers of how different ranges can work for various conflicts. A good example would be Maximilian, which can be put together from various codes from all over our ranges?
That would be swell, I`ve been reading a lot of treads and here and there such advice pop up.
From the top of my head, the Ruga Rugas as stand ins for Sudan have had a few pointers, not to mention that several of the packs in the British Sudan Army packs stems from either the Boer or the Zulu line up. :)
OldenBUA - yesa the late shermans would be good.

Ian, why is the M2 medium a waste of time? And though the TP-7 may be a clone of the Vickers, what about the rest of the Polish equipment and soldiers?
I have no use for a Chaffee however.
M2 - not ever used in combat - and not built in any numbers. I made same comment about the Vickers Independant, still made :'(
There are many more commomn vehicles which are needed - M24 is of use late WWII through Korea to the 1990's in a few South African armies, similarly late war Shermans.
IanS :)
Ofcourse, actual use and production numbers don't always have an impact on a wargamers needs. There are many that like 'what-if' gaming, and it seems to be a bit more popular these days as well.
However, from a sales point of view, I think that 'regular' WW2 kit should be higher on the list. It's what most people will be looking for first. I could be wrong though!

Thats the Chaffe ?? If so, it was used in Norway up to the 90s as well... Latest use was two squadrons in the NG along with about 100 EA of the White scout car. :D
Yes, the M24 is the Chaffee. That's already on the designers list though, so should make an appearance sometime.

I can certainly see your point, but a Chaffee I can get from at least two other manufacturers (though I am sure not in the same, fine quality I expect from Pendraken :) ). But as Olden pointed out, there are an awful lot of gamers who do what-ifs, and also in our little niche, supply can make its own demand. Thus I believe Leon would be well-served to offer up a range of AFVs that are off the beaten track and not available from other makers. But of course, still sell Chaffees!
I wuz just making a point....... :D
Yeah, it´s no problem. I would just like something other than vanilla from time to time :)

Baled out tank crews please.
We already have US Marine and Japanese baled out tank crews. Can we have the same for British, German and Russian crews?
It is possible that a generic tank crew could be produced. Overalls and bare headed would suit.
BTW, does anyone have a picture of the Japanese Baled out crew? The US team have their distinctive tank helmets on and cannot be mistaken for any other nationality.

Packs of artillerymen would be good. Leon has done that for me as a one-off but a proper code for artillerymen would be useful - if that's practical. May depend what else is in the mould?
Trimming the bases off to fit in vehicles isn't much of a chore IMHO.
I was after artillery crew as I feel crew served weapons need a few more figures on the base than the two or three they come with but vehicle crew would improve the look of the open topped artillery vehicles right enough.
Having just bought some Boys Anti-Tank riflemen, I note that...
a) They're huge - more like 15mm. Beautifully detailed, mind you, but about 8 foot tall in scale...
b) They're all prone & firing...
Now, granted, the Boys AT is massive, and giants would be the best gunners. Likewise, prone & firing is the most useful place for them... Nonetheless, some in-scale Boys AT gunners walking & carrying their rifles would be handy... The Boys is so massive & distinct it's obvious the normal infantry don't have them!
And a plea from the heart from my FLGS owner who just started collecting 10mm (by collecting most of my old Pendraken Russkies...), Soviet horse-drawn artillery limbers with crews.

We've considered them quite a few times but the cost of designing bigger pieces like this, combined with the limited sales on them, makes it difficult to ever make the money back. Never say never, but they wouldn't be high up the priority list.
