Cold War and Post Cold War Poles, Livonians, and Ukrainians, like a before and after series for each of them.

Urban chaos types, including Brazilian Favelas and Colombian Narcos, as well as their police.

Resistance fighters from the PLO, Central and South America.

I love the tropical CIA/DEA/XYZ operators idea.

I would really like to see modern Mexicans: cartels, local and federal police, army, and civilians trying to survive.  Mexican cartel gangsters are scarier than *#$% in real life.

I belive spectre has some over armed American hispanic gangers. And special artisan service minatures or kings hobbies are looking at marking more Mexican cartel style guys this year.
"Peace" is that brief, glorious moment in history when everybody stands around reloading.

What have people got against favelados? Personally, I'd rather see a range of vascainos. The perfect walking figure 8s if ever there were. :D
Em dezembro de '81
Botou os ingleses na roda
3 a 0 no Liverpool
Ficou marcado na história
E no Rio não tem outro igual
Só o Flamengo é campeão mundial
E agora seu povo
Pede o mundo de novo

They just can not get any love can they? Now I did see some one on Facebook paint up some of the Brazilian special military police useing some Spector figs.
Oh and I we are adding more wants, I am reading up on the Suez crises and Greek civil war so let's toss some Egyptian military 1956, Egyptian militias, Greek army, Police, and rebels.

Actually, has anyone scratch built the Dr. No flame-throwing armoured tractor?

There's a die-cast that works perfectly with 28mm.  The cars in the range were 1/43, but the Dr No tank is smaller to fit in the box.  There are usually lots on ebay.
