> Hello all,

Yes, at least some of them. We have just got prone riflemen* out for the NSL
and FSE, to start the expansions of these ranges. At first, it will only be
the "major" ranges (the most popular) which get the main expansions, but we
may get round to others eventually.

* These aren't up on the site (or in our updates) yet, but watch out for them
(plus some other new stuff!) in the next few days.

Does that mean more work for me, I dont think I will have time if I'm painting
and photographing all those figures Jon!;)

So I guess that means I may be waiting a whil for some more New Isreali
Figures :-(

Will the heavier support weapons (auto grenade lauchers, mortars,
tri-barrel
machine guns etc) be available with generic/nation specific crews? or
even on their own? For example the ESU have some cool support weapons, but I
don't want the crew figures (unless you did some NI crew figures).

Would anyone else be interested if GZG did a range of crew figures for the
various nations and a general pool of crew figures? Just a thought.

I meant 25, but the principle still stands

Well, I don't play Stargrunt II and I am trying to stick with 6mm for the
foreseeable future (Tons of 25/28mm stuff has to go cheap in the near
future) but I think the idea of generic crew figures (heavy weapons,
dismounted tankers, starship crew, etc.) is a great idea.

I would certaintly purchase them.

Should be (ideally) in coveralls, minimal or no body armor (in my background
I've written up that Combat Vehicle Crewman suits have d6 armor value, which
to my mind indicates ballistic liner, but it's irrelevant until the figs are
available), with the option to purchase armed with pistol, SMG, or tiny little
bullpup halfway between AR and SMG, like the Indonesian guys have.

Oh, and there should also be an option to buy them lugging a groundmount
tribarrel machine gun (dismounted vehicle weaponry...)

I'd also like New Israeli Mortar Teams and GMS/L teams
for both NI and NSL Powered Armor. HMG (Ma Deuce Style or Tribarrel,
preferably an option for either) teams in light body armor would also go over
well.
Plus maybe shoulder-fired AA missle teams?

The Big four being NSL NAC ESU and FSE?

Don't forget the long overlooked NI!

"Get these guy's they'll shred anything!" quoe from a guy with a number of
piercings at Salute they year I sealed my fate and bought my SG figures.

They are a cool army (according to a number of websites) FP3 armour 8,
movement 8!

Anyway, just the weapons on their own would be a nice start. I can adjust the
figures myself if neccessary.

Pretty Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease GZG

hmm I think HMG crews should be wearing full combat armour, but mortar crews
etc, they'd be in lighter armour...
> Oh, and there should also be an option to buy them

The thing about this is that it looks very unsatisfactory while firing, and so
you'd need some firing figures too. I could survive without these.

But more NI figures in general, that sounds like a good idea to me

> I'd also like New Israeli Mortar Teams and GMS/L teams

NI power armour, that sounds cool!

I was thinking dismounted vehicle crews--my guys
frequently survive the death of their AFVs. Maybe I'm just rolling well, but
it seems to be the exeception when my guys die in their tracks. So I end up
using whatever spare figures I have lying around to represent them. Of course,
they make tracks as fast as they can for the nearest safety so they leave the
board soon, but it would be nice to have some dedicated figures.

> >I'd also like New Israeli Mortar Teams and GMS/L

I meant GMS/L teams for NI Assault troops and for NSL
PA troops. NI PA sounds cool, but I've already
invested in NSL-style PA for my guys.

Movement 8? In full body armor? I wouldn't allow it.

I wouldn't mind seeing some technician sorts. These can be great additions for
objectives. It's also be cool to see perhaps some
unsuited PA troopers with sidearms - great for rescuew/recovery
missions.

Ah you see that won't work so well for mine, the otehr army I have is

wait
