I'm sort of trying to plan out what else I'd really like to see on my work bench for the rest of 2007. Some things have been decidedly pushed to 2008, such as a US Armoured Company. Right now, this is what I'm looking at:
Germans
Artillery Battery, 10.5 cm
Guns:
Crew: Peter Pig, 3 crew packs
staff, 1 Late War CMD pack
spotters, 1 misc. pack
British:
6 pdr Portee Platoon
Guns:
Crew:
Trucks:
Americans:
Cavalry Recon Platoon
3 x M8
3 x M60mm mortars, 9 crew
3 x Jeeps w/.30, driver
3 x Jeeps w/60mm mortar, driver, crew
Tank Destroyer Platoon
4 x M10
2 x M20
1 x Jeep w/.50, driver
9 x infantry
WarMaster Ancients
Core Rules $36
Army List Book $30
Chinese Army ??? $200ish
Mighty Empires
New Box Set $45
White Dwarf $6
Classic Rules (.pdf) free
FlashPoint: Viet Nam
Base Rule Book
Sample miniature pack
Hoards of the Things
Base Rule Book
Terrain:
Miniature Building Authority
Small Industrial Buildings
Power Plant
Russian Village?
Euro Village?
And these are some general notes about various figure packets, manufacturers, and online venders where I might get this stuff:
Battle Front
Hopefully, they will just put out a boxed set for the Tank Destroyer Platoon
They will also be the source for everything in the Cav Recon platoon, now that the scout cars are on the way.
BattleFront may or may not get my business for the 6prds. That one is gonna come down to who can do it cheep, so there is a good chance it will be Old Glory, if the packs don't stick me with a bunch of waste. But it ain't gonna be Peter Pig! My only question on the Germans is where to get the guns. I'd like BattleFront quality, but I don't want to be stuck with all their crew. Seems like a quibble, but I would just rather use other poses and let BF crew work other guns. More variety. But Peter Pig doesn't make a 10.5cm gun, and again, if I go with OG I'll have two spare guns laying about. Then again, spare artillery is an easier sell than spare crew... other countries used the 10.5.... Ya, I'll probably end up with OG guns... So basically all BF can count on from me for the rest of the year is two platoons of mechanized Americans and what ever books they release along the way.

10mm Stuff:
This is a whole new world for me, smaller than I normally go. The local group is really starting to sniff around Warmaster Ancients in 10mm, but that's just opening the door. I could really get into some very small, very whimsical gaming in this cute little scale, especially with things like Battle of Five Armies being more or less LOTR fantasy Warmaster Ancients. Its expensive, but that big box has been calling to me since its release, and if it is compatable....
Then there's the total whackyness of Hoards of the Things. I could so get into that nuttyness...
Copplestone LOTR figures are just cute!
Wonder if I'll ever go back to 28mm? I'm sure I will, but man, they are gonna feel MASSIVE!
