New release suggestions (was 'Fillers')

[grendels father]

I think there is a nice selection of german vehicles on the market now - from several different makers. JTFM make many variations of Valentines in addition to Pz IIIs + other tanks on your wishlist. I believe AGNM is still around and they also make a Pz III. Co.B make a PZ IV F2. Way more choices than I can afford!

[Paul @ Warlord Games]

So many things could be done that can actually be used, yet I fear before we get any of those we'll probably see neubafahzugs and maus tanks long before marders, panzers, grants, valentines, HMC's etc

I do see your point but I think you are being more than a little harsh (or maybe it your delivery that makes it appear so).

We're doing both the regular stuff and the obscure. Don't forget we've just released a welter of tank destroyers for the Allies, an M5 Stuart, Buffalo, Opel Blitz, M24 Chaffee, British Shermans, Churchills, etc - all stuff I'd suggest are the staple of the forces concerned and were significant gaps in the Bolt Action range.

And don't forget that all the French stuff came with our purchase of BEF Miniatures which also gave us loads of British and German vehicles. It also helps support our existing French range as well as giving us a very good presence in early war rather than always sticking to late war.

Will we make the stuff you list? Of course - some of it is already underway and the rest is likely to follow before too long.

i hope that helps allay your concerns.

First time I've ever seen it, still no panzer III though

You really are Mr Angry, aren't you?

Just be nice to get something useful and covered by wargaming rules, instead of obscure French tanks that did nothing except get blown up, a stupid German thing that nobody has ever seen and did nothing, a sturmtiger though while nice can't be used.

Well, I have to agree with some of these sentiments, though I have to add that I asked for a Stug III and got one It would be nice to get a Grant. The one available from Company B is nice, but the metal track attachments need some serious filing to make them fit properly. I know that there is to be a Stuart Honey soon and I would like to see a Marmon Herrington.

There is a Pz IV, a Tiger, a couple of Panthers, a PzII, a Pz 35(t) and Pz 38(t) available too How many more German tanks do you need? I know that there are more British tanks on the way (cruisers). Also remember that Warlord bought the BEF range and most of the "odd" vehicles being produced are from that.

Sorry, I posted at the same time as Paul and basically repeated what he said.

I love the courtesy of this site and the proprietal meandering that words take when someone has the self-control and manners to show restraint.

Pziv is nice...but its the damn H/J, what about all the ones before them?, the short barrel ones, the F2?, why not just do a barrel pack, or add extra barrels into the kit like westwind.

Everyone does tigers, there are more companies doing that damn tank than what was deployed in the whole of WWII, nobody does a recovery one though, so its a hole in the market nobody exploits

And the 35 and 38 are nice, and were needed, but warlord can't take credit for them.

Panzer III, marder II & III, that's money makers right there for German players, keep yah IV's, your silly panzershcreck thing, yah sturmtigers and give panzer III, wirbelwinds, ostwinds, 222's, quad 50 halftracks, M8's, KV's, grants, valentines, archers etc

Though thank Christ for the 40mm bofors
I'm just annoyed because we are over half way through a year and so far WWII wise warlord has only taken £16 from my wallet for a short stummel......that's it, nothing else has made me open my wallet, they release a £20 panzer III and marred II or III and I guarantee another £40-60

So no Paul, its not being angry, its being a frustrated customer with zilch to buy from any of your ranges.

Other companies now are dead, JTFM?...in the UK?, you'll be lucky, AGN and company B?, not cheap at all

People make Tigers because they sell very well. Bergetigers are a very obscure choice hence nobody makes a lot of recovery vehicles. Recovery vehicles are cool things but in game terms rather pointless.

A 222 like this?

The master for the M16 Quad 50 cal is sat on the desk behind me - will be released soon. M8 is currently being converted (and will form the basis of a Buffalo conversion too).

Don't worry - everything you mention will be made, and more. We release more vehicles than anyone else but there are so many to make that there will always be someone left unhappy no matter what we do or how fast that happens.

I think I meant the 22, the half track with the pak40

That is on Wojtek's desk - he'll be making the crew for it next week.

@King Tiger
Great Escape Games are carrying JTFM in the UK.Read a anouncement on LAF about it.

You should have been into 28mm WW2 a few years ago when there was nothing but Solido,Corgi,Tamiya and the odd Bandai kit you could pick up on Ebay.You think you got it bad? I use 1/48 mostly,try waiting for Tamiya to put out new stuff,maybe one a year
