or in the very least maybe produce a sprue with arms with weapons attached that fit the current models, like they have done with the more recent releases. If something like this is done my personal wish list would be

X1 firing arms, and x1 carrying arms with Thompson

x1 firing arms, and x1 carrying arms with M1 carbine

x2 firing arms, and x1 carrying arms with M1 Garand

x1 firing arms, and x1 carrying arms with BAR

and please for the love of all things grand, can they please make a BAR with folded bi-pod attached, or folded bi-pods that you can attach. Also it would be cool if they would make a plastic SCR-300 radio backpack on the sprue.

…..and then I wake up, and realize this will probably never happen, but one can dream. Any thoughts from anybody else?

Perhaps we are just spoilt now and want everything?

Meh, you kids today. Back in my day we had to hunt down a bison for the bones and carve our own damn miniatures….

hello John Bear.

Lorenzo here from Warlord.

I collect US forces too for WWII so, inspired by your message, I went to plea more or less the same as you write to our Studio Manager.

I went in determined, armed with the passion of my hobby project, with a GI helmet on, your printed message in support and even ready to use all my repertoire of mediterranean hand gestures and genebreed drama emphasis.

Before I could even finish my question, the answer given me was "ah, yes, new plastic US Infantry, we are working on it".

i am afraid i could not get any other desired info, but i would expect something coming out pretty soon!

Lorenzo……….you have made my day!!! I am looking forward to seeing something in the future! Please stay on them about the folded bi-pod for the BAR…..a BAR with a folded bi-pod is such an iconic look. Thanks for everything you guys at Warlord do!

You guys are all kids! We made them from clay found near the river.

Clay! We had to scoop up the molten crust with our bare hand and blow on it to cool down enough to shape a figure.

Lorenzo,

Can you find out if the British are being redone, as well?
