Rick asked me to pass along some info as he still cannot access this forum,
There will be a hold on any new Iraq sets until after OTSN and some sets will be retired, however he has not decided which ones.
There will be a new British Honey with new markings and a seperate set of ground troops to go along with it, this will be limited to 150 sets.
There also will be a set of free French troops to go along with the free French tank.
Both of the above are scheduled for a June release.
Rick also advises there is more, but wants to keep it under wraps for now.
He is getting new software in hopes of being able to access this forum.

I think it's great that there will be a Honey and, depending on the markings, I'll probably buy it but I also wonder when Rick and company will turn their prodigious talents to making tanks and other vehicles other than the Stuart. Since they've delved into North Africa, I would really like to see vehicles that King and Country hasn't done. Hopefully what he's keeping to himself will include new and exciting North Africa vehicles. I just wonder how many variations of the Stuart do we really need or can afford.

I was thinking the same thing also. Imagine their talents on some German panzers. I bet they would look awesome.

Yeah, and when is the Abrams tank they had the prototype of at the West Coaster going into production?

With Rick not being able to access the forum from the PRC, isn't it too bad that a country trying to become a nation of the first order has to revert to censorship of such things as this forum out of fear that someone may say or that a revolutionary thought may be expressed. Those in the Party have to be paranoid to a degree that must be uncomfortable to say the least.

I think I mentioned the TAR in passing in one post, and in another I may have mentioned a certain individual from what is now the TAR who claims to be a reincarnated deity when discussing a comparison with Japan and the Shinto religion (in which the emperor was supposedly one of the descendants of the sun goddess). I think that in another thread there was mention of economic development effecting political change. Overall though I'd imagine it takes quite a large number of "keywords" to be mentioned on a website to trigger a block. (Just as above, I often don't make reference to certain words just in case it does trigger anything).
I'd say the access problem is probably a technical one rather than an issue of censorship.
