T26 and BT5 russian tanks please and anything missing for 1938 war

Paint it Pink

The BA3 or BA6 armour car too for the SCW. Second the need for BT5s and T26Bs.
Unlike some people, I feel under no obligation to pretend that only one war-gaming scale is true, and that any others 6mm/10mm/15mm/25mm are mistaken; or that I know better than people themselves what is right for them to use. The point is precisely for all war-gamers to decide for themselves.

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?

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 :) )

Never argue with an idiot; He'll drag you down to his level and beat you by experience.

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

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?  :-*

I'll add them to the list!

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.
