Wishlist 15mm Vehicles

[GuyT2GP]

What new vehicles would you like to see Brigade produce; not already produced in their 6mm range ???

My Wishlist

1] A small series of generic Planetary Militia transport.

2]An unarmoured 'militarised' truck suitable for use by militia or rebels.

3] A ground attack fighterbomber/skimmer.

That's a start, let's see what the rest of the 15mm scifi world would like.

Thanks Tony,
1] Thinking more of a scifi Jeep,Hummvee, Lt Truck,Utility; and a troopcarrier:- scifi Opel Blitz or Bedford QL - low to mid tech,little or no armour [motorised not mechanised infantry].

2] High mobility wheeled Hemmtt [ like Oskosh but smaller]- 2nd line
could mount hvy wpn?

3]Hopefully in time so that we can use some at Partizan in May 2006

Hopefully that clarifies my thoughts

In slight disregard for the original question, I'd like to see the 6mm PacFed gravs scaled up to 15mm.

Hatch-dwelling tank commanders would be nice, as impractical as that may sound on a fast-flying grav tank or gravel-spraying ACV.

I'm also in favor of civilian vehicles. Coupes, sedans, vans, and trucks. A good couple of bikes would be cool, too. Wheel and grav, or in some cases interchangeable (comes with wheels, VTOL thrusters, or grav plates).

The PacFed would be the next line to get upscaled to 15mm I think - just because they're a bit different and a bit more high-tech than the others.

And whenever we discuss 15mm figures, the topic of tank commanders always comes up - so when we get around to them, that's where we'll start.

I'd really like to see the SAC Wildebeest and its variants scaled up to 15mm. Indeed I would.

Maybe some generic 15mm accessories -- dozer blades, an ARV/CEV boom, stowage, applique armor or ERA blocks, comms dishes, etc. I think a lot of folks would like the chance to add more customization to their 15mm vehicles.

One-man skimmers or anti-grav sleds. Small one-man vehicles that a player could mount a fig on and then dismount the fig if need be. Could have a couple of different styles. Incorporating anti-grav dragoons into a fight could be an interesting new dynamic.

Orbital drop pods! Wouldn't necessarily have to be squad-sized; could be individual pods a la Heinlein's Starship Troopers (the real Starship Troopers).

More to follow.

Since some new products have hit the virtual shelves:

I think there might be interest in seeing the new Russian vehicles scaled up to 15mm, especially if the Kuritsa APC came in a number of variants (mortar carrier, antitank, cav, etc.). The Bison and Vombat would also be cool to see in 15mm.

And the new German Helheim tank... that would be a wicked addition to anyone playing 15mm in an urban setting! MOUT scenarios just beg for something with twin Gatlings!

[Brigadier Tony]

The 15mm range is in need of some attention, having been neglected in favour of LI and it's 6mm brethren of late.

There are some models on my list for this year - notably the Hippo truck.

The Helheim (and, since I'm making that, the Woden) would be extremely cool in 15mm. And since it's designed for close range urban combat, ideal for the larger scale. I have a plan of a small family of urban combat vehicles based on the Woden hull, including a Sturmtiger-like assault vehicle with a Very Big Gun and a personnel carrier designed for power armoured troops. They'll appear in 6mm first, but 15mm is a logical step forwards.

The popularity of the Russians would also imply that they'd do well in the larger scale too.
