Really. In this day and age how can it be? |

I'm sure someone must, if not have you considered 20mm? Elhiem has some beautiful BAOR; 21 different codes including a set at rest brewing up. 5x Figures. 4 BAOR relaxing with drinks and a hexamine stove. 1x war correspondant/intel agent with camera. link Duane

I have a platoon of the more modern British for Afghanistan. Cold War in 20mm looks great, but the vehicles are quite expensive and nobody seems to make easier to assemble (i.e. fewer parts) "wargames" plastic kits for them like, for example, Plastic Soldier Company and Pegasus do for WW2. Assembling the number of proper model kits you'd need would make me crazy. |

Been waiting years for these from a certain manufacturer, and his mold-maker, who apparently has not been chained to the mold-making table until he is finished, as I suggested in jest, eons ago. Now, I make that suggestion a lot more seriously. It has been years that we've been promised they are just around the corner, after all. |

I gave up waiting and went to 10/12mm instead, best move I've made in a very long time. In the process of putting the forces together to game the Red Gambit series of books, nearly there! |

This glaring absence from the 15mm universe is indeed a source of wonder and disquiet to me. The Elheim figures are wondrous indeed, but you are right in highlighting the disadvantages of 20mm. If I still lived in Dorset, I would seize a pitchfork and torch and march on the premises of QRF, but its a long way from NSW…. Perhaps with the imminent advent of Battlefront's Cold War Gone Hot we will eventually see them producing the goods… |

As Johny Boy said, and they paint up lovely! |

Pendraken is supposed to be coming out with new Cold War minis, and hopefully troops to go with them, but new releases have been a bit slower than hoped/desired, especially for Russian/Soviet infantry. US and British troops are currently available. |

Releases have been a bit slower than planned, there was a quick thread about that on our Forum earlier this year: link We've been cracking on a bit more recently, and we've got more vehicles in the pipeline to be released soon. Infantry will be done once we've got more vehicles, as foot are a lot easier/quicker to get sculpted and don't require as much time to turnaround and get released. |

Geoff QRF has some 15mm SLR armed infantry with helmet just out -

Don't know what they look like as no pics yet |
| Mako11 | 03 Aug 2015 12:25 p.m. PST |
Those are probably the new ones, and he's holding out on us. The nerve of him, having these available for sale, not telling us, and then running off on Summer holiday. ;-) [just kidding, Geoff] Thanks for the info, and reply, Leon. If you were to release some Russian/Soviet/Warpac infantry now, we could use your Russian/Soviet vehicles for early Cold War gaming against the Americans and British, using your existing lines of troops and vehicles from other periods, e.g. Vietnam and the Falklands. |

It's always a double-edged sword with releasing ranges like this unfortunately. If we got all of the infantry done next month and released them, we'd be inundated with all the requests for more vehicles and then folks would have to wait quite some time for those to be modelled and moulded up. Releasing the vehicles slowly is frustrating for those waiting on foot/artillery, but it does make things easier from a release viewpoint. The 20+ vehicles we've got at the moment are 18-24 months worth of work, so it would be a similar timeframe for the next 20 models. As a comparison, 20 infantry codes could be sculpted and released in 2-3 months, so once we're happy with the vehicles side of things we can expand the range very quickly. On a separate note as well, the sculptor who would be doing the foot is all tied up for at least the next 6 months anyway, so we wouldn't be able to get him doing anything until mid-2016 probably. |

Those Pendrakens are lovely! I wonder if they are compatible with the Minifigs 12mm range…. |
