Eureka again and also Dadi i Piombo

[NurgleHH]

@carlos: you were faster than me. Next time will be mine

I hope for some troops not avaible in the moment. Like North koreans or mexicans or modern japanese

[carlos marighela]

 

Eureka make modern Japanese in their Kreigspiel line.

But yes, some, troops nobody makes as yet would be nice. Generic chaps in kevlar helmets, BDU style uniforms and AK-47s seems to be a popular request.

Aussie support weapon teams, as eureka has a very limited range :-(

[Keith]

Well, if we change the thread title then you could request some?

Actually I'm going back to the future and concentrating on the 1950s-70s. Apart from the nostalgia, there's no sense that I'll have to replace the minis to go with the latest bit of kit or repaint the buggers cos some fashionista in defence circles has decided on a new pattern of camouflage.

I have all the Eureka ones, but we were talking about an Empress wishlist. This would give me a wider selection

A wise decision... it is the way forward. Go back to the present in about twenty years when it's the past and things will be better.

Right then, an endorsement from the mod.

So for my modern (modern for those of us over the age of 45 that is) wishlist.

Russians circa 1956-1970. Gymnastierka, AKs, RPDs etc. Budapest, Prague, the Berlin Crisis, the Cuban Missile Crisis etc etc. Pretty good for 7TV/ Kiss Kiss Bang Bang playersas well  I should thonk. Yes, I know about the Brigade Games Atomic cafe line but they come in silly packs.

US Army 1957-70s. Sateen combat uniforms, with all those snazzy, Elvis era, coloured insignia.

French paras for Algeria.

French paras for Kolwezi.

Chinese infantry, 1960s/70s. Teach brotherly Vietnam a lesson, take Honkers by force 30 years earlier, fight the perfidious Russians. Caps/ helmet variants.

Cubans, lots of Cubans.

1. The Revolution
a) Fidel and the boys from the Sierra Maestre.
b) Batista's army.

2) Bay of Pigs.
a)Fidel and the Peoples Militia and some regulars.
b) Reactionary CIA backed running dog counter-revolutionary gangsters (Brigadistas)

3) Internationalism
a)Che and the Boys in Bolivia
b) Bolivian Rangers

Chinese and Russian winter clad infantry. Border conflict 1969.

Chilean Army for 1979. Someone else to fight my Argentines.

Cue theme song from the Man of La Mancha.............

[the commissar]

That's quite a list 

Would certainly go for French paras for Kolwezi.

Right then, an endorsement from the mod.

An endorsement from me is as much use as a rubber bayonet. 

Carlos' really long list....

Put me down for what he said too! 

[johnny817]

Some modern middle eastern armies would good like Iran ,Jordan , Saudi ,
Not just insurgents

Us navy assault team would be nice to , something like what we have seen in last resort

Modern Chinese and North Korean


Modern Israeli troops I know mongrel does them but ones a bit more modern would be nice

Since North Korea has been said how South Korea

[Earther]

That's quite a list
