[redleg]

Thanks, Don! I'm always blown away by your record-keeping!

Hello guys
Looking at the new releases 2024-25, I'm interesting about the following packs :
BATCH 1
G— Kfz. 1 : why not, it's always interesting to diversify the non armored german vehicules series. Nice for early war period and Afrika-korps.
T— M41D Walker Bulldog : nice for ARVN forces Vietnam aera. (I will buy few to make a company)

BATCH 2
US— T27 Xylophone ground-based w/ crew : Why not. But I prefer the truck mounted version.
G— Kfz. 4 Truppenluftschutzkraftwagen, AA : Nice to have this model.

BATCH 3
US— T27 Xylophone truck-mounted : Nice model, a battery = 12 launchers (x3 platoons, with x4 GMC rocket truck w/T27 each).
R— JS-1 : nice. Interesting for eastern front during spring and summer 1944, until it was replaced by the JS-2.
G— Tiger I, mid variant : Very interesting to have this variant.

BATCH 6
G— V1 Flying Bomb : why not. we can put them on a diorama or under a He-111's wing. More interesting for aerial battles wargaming, not very suitable for my ground wargame.

In any case, It's, of course, always a pleasure to see that GHQ is still as dynamic in offering us original models (on ground, sea, air) that try to satisfy as many of the brand's loyal customers as possible. Some upcoming models for 2024-25 will interest me and will enrich my armies. Thank you GHQ !

Maybe another little surprise will come in addition of this list during the year : an UK WWII armored dozer ? or a Me.323 "Gigant" ? or a US M54 tractor-trailer truck with semi-trailer (for Vietnam aera) ?

The M41D did not see service in Vietnam.
The ROC army did use it.

The earlier GHQ M41 would be the VN model. No bazooka plates on sides.

The earlier GHQ M41 is the correct model to use for Vietnam War, not the M41D.

Thank you guys for this precision about the M41D, I had completely forgotten that there is already the model that is perfectly suitable for Vietnam (GHQ VN15)

Unfortunately, I just don't see a lot here. My collection runs mainly to US and NATO, with US divisions, augmented by a British brigade-in-building, a small German brigade, and a smattering of French stuff. I build units ranging from the 1950s up through the '80s J series. I USED to have a Canadian unit, but since Canada hardly bothers with an army anymore, I don't either, and the vehicles have been reassigned, except for the useless 6-wheeled stuff, which was only good for practicing recovery crews, pulling them out if ditches and mud.

In the future, I'll finish a Stryker battalion and a British Boxer battalion. If the Brits go ahead with Aries/Ajax, I'll build one of those, finish the Challenger 2 regiment, and the AS90 regiment. Not working on the German or French right now. Would like to have a Marine battalion in ACVs, but GHQ is working in other directions right now, so it seems I'll be saving money and maybe learning 3D printing. It would be nice to see GHQ do more with the Boxer line - command, medical, artillery, engineering, recovery. If you watch Mr. Hewe's channel on Youtube, you KNOW we need a Foden wrecker. And artillery! More ARTILLERY! Need three HIMARS battalions, two more MLRS battalions, and six more US gun battalions, along with two Panzerhaubitz batteries.

Some stuff from the '50s? M75, M59 APCs, , M54, M55 artillery pieces. M48A1! Davy Crockett? And some support - M54 and/or M800 series 5 ton trucks, GOERS, both cargo and fuelers. Tank and pump units for 5ton truck beds.

I'm not gonna hold my breath.

Some stuff from the '50s?

I'd like to see the M44 and M52 self-propelled artillery vehicles. For my (well the Club's) '67-73 Jordanian army.
