I could be wrong but it seems that GHQ's ranges have been set in stone for quite some time. Anyone know what keeps them from investing in other periods? Also I wonder why they did Napoleonics and ACW in 10mm vice 1/285.

It would be exciting to see a news announcement from them stating they are going to make a move into WW1, Ancients & Medievals. Bringing their great quality into 1/285 scale minis set for those eras.

Any thoughts?

I have their Modern & WW2 in 1/285 and I have their 10mm ACW. I think all of their products are great. If they started doing WW1, Ancients or Medieval I would be highly tempted to make the jump.

I think they're still trying to keep their current ranges up to date.

With Jarrovian, when you add 1/2400 and 1/1200 naval into the mix, they seem to be in a constant battle to stay "up to date" particularly with all their modern releases. Still much they can release for WWII as well.

Would be surprised if they began another era, though 1/285 WWI seems quite doable.

My guess on the Napoleonics and ACW lines being 10mm is that there are no large vehicles in either range (or very few). So 10mm allows more detail on the infantry.

I'd be intrigued by more 10mm or N scale stuff. Would mix well with all the model railroad supplies and allow a bit more ease in modelling infantry.

I would jump on a WW1 line right away. I have suggested it multiple times on their forum.

I'd rather see them just continue to develop their WWII and modern lines. I've been waiting since 1982 for vehicles for 1940 battles that I still can't play, so no, I'd rather not see them expand into other periods.

They did promise zombies for next year.

They had released a few WWII vehicles as part of their N scale range. A sherman and a M3 halftrack. I wish they would produce more of these in 10mm/N scale as they were excellent minis.

10mm really does look great.

We usually come out with about 40-45 new releases each year. Our current, June 2016 to June 2017, new release list has 53 items listed. We actually just announced a previously unpublished release- the T-55 AM2. All of these come from customer requests.

We still have our hands full with the lines that we currently offer. There are still some WWII vehicles/equipment that we don't make, and there are a lot of post-WWII through current day things that we don't make. A lot of equipment has been used by several different countries over the years, and each one created their own variants of the prototype. We could go for years making more T-55's, T-72's, Centurions, M48's, M60's, M113's, Hinds, BMP's, BTR's, etc. Then there are ships…

WWI is something that has come up internally over the years, but we don't want to spread ourselves too thin to do it effectively.

Thank you for your support,
GHQ

I just saw the T-55AM2, it looks really good! Can that be used for several WarPac countries?
