I use Flames of War and some of the engineer units for the Germans are supposed to have a Goliath demolition vehicle but I can't find anywhere that does them at 10/12mm. I would be very interested for a Pendraken model to be done - I use Pendraken more an more now, particularly for anything at all out of the ordinary.
Any other interest out there?

As the Goliath is actually so tiny and that you'd need so few, my feeling would be get a bit of balsa and do some filing to the approximate shape and size, then paint. I really couldnt see it selling in large enough numbers to be viable.

True, I guess in the back of my mind I was thinking of an added item in the German engineer pack (the Russian's have dogs after all!)

No problemo - we won't hold that against you ;) :P ;D [I only said that before someone else did :d]
Have you played Blitzkrieg Commander [not that I'm biased or anything...]?

No, not come across Blitzkrieg Commander. Used to play Command Decision with 1:72 years ago (sold them to the Wargames Holiday Centre when they started WW2) and wasn't that keen so once started to pick up 1:144 stuff in Taiwan started looking for new set of rules. A friend of mine suggested FOW and I'm quite happy with it. Although happy to try out other rules as long as can use same basing system etc.
I've popped this on the lists!
I'd say the trick to this one is to make not just the Goliath itself but also as the team with the controller, and maybe even the carrier.
Also, while Goliath gets all the attention I think the Borgward is more interesting, more significant, and more useful if you are gaming situations like Kursk

But they do make the controler - 50 tonne Tiger I, at least at Anzio.

I'd love to see a counter-example, but I believe the formations issued with significant armor for controllers were using the Borgward or similar. Look at the vid - no Tigers there.
