New release suggestions (was 'Fillers')

Thanks for the info!

Still, it WOULD be an incredible looking model.

If it was up to me, we'd also see the German E vehicles. I love that 1946 type stuff. But yes, first the bases need to be covered.

Thanks for the info!

I've been involved in discussions about both vehicles on the forums of a certain other World War 2 miniatures game.


In particular, it used to be that some newbie would post a "Where are the Pershings?" thread on those forums roughly once every two weeks (Battlefront just released lists for the Lorraine campaign last week, and is nowhere near the point in the timeline when the handful of Pershings first saw combat).

Tigers and Panthers DID rule the war you know .

Cool stuff is fun!

Funny that you should mention that. The aforementioned Lorraine lists include the ill-fated Panzer Brigades...

The Panther was indeed an amazing tank in combat, but the skill of the crew was just as important as the quality of the tank. At least one of the Panzer Brigades that fought in the Lorraine campaign was equipped with Panthers, and the experienced vets of the 4th Armored Division ran rings around the "just out of training school" tank crews of that brigade just as much as they did the brigades that were equipped with Mark IVs.

I realize that your comment is made at least partly in jest, but the dramatic drop in the combat effectiveness of the Panther when used in the brigades is a rather interesting footnote to the tank's combat history.

Lot of decals: infantry, halftracks, trucks, tanks, ...

A Pz IVe would be a nice addition. Or a Pz IVf1.

A Pak 38 would be nice also.

Hey guys I was thinking somthing, what about some pacific war artillery like maybe some Japanese howitzers but I was thinking specially of this bad boy http://www.ww2gyrene.org/weapons_pack_howitzer_75mm.htm
The US marine 75mm pack howitzer. Since there seems to be a lack of artillery in the pacific ranges.Also maybe some USMC reinforcements with some more combat shotguns? George

Warlord already makes this howitzer:

Maybe they could make a Marine crew? and Marines to drive their jeep?

How about Panzergrenadiers? And not just the ones jumping out of halftracks. I also havent seen Jager snipers. WW2 redifined the marksman!!! Great for suppression...unless that is they werent thought about in the new BA rules!!

Exactly, BA Barrukus also made a good point about Jager snipers. George
