Title: LMGs once again, and MMGs
Post by: Mako on 31 January 2022, 11:55:07 PM
I see from reviewing the catalog that there aren't any US, liquid-cooled (M1917 model), .30 cal MGs mounted on tripods on offer, and that the MG42 LMGs prone and firing from a bipod, and/or advancing are still missing in action.  Of course, the M1917 and the M1919 .30 cals moving could be used too, though I'm more interested in the firing models.

I'd like to see the following produced for sale, if possible:

M1917 MMG & Crew firing from tripod - Summer
M1917 MMG & Crew firing from tripod - Winter

MG42 team firing from bipod - Summer
MG42 team with gun at the ready - level at waist, and patroling - Summer (similar to GRF41 Para w/MG34)

MG42 team firing from bipod - Winter
MG42 team with gun at the ready - level at waist, and patroling - Winter (similar to GRF41 Para w/MG34)

I see there are lots of MG34s on offer in various poses, but alas, none for the mid-late war period, with the exception of MG42s on tripods. 

Virtually all German squads had at least one bipod equipped MG42, and some even had two per squad during the late-war period (1944/1945), so it is difficult to make up appropriate units without their inclusion.
