What do you think August dispatches will hold for us?.Will we get a glimpse of those much anticipated Red Devils do you thnk?.I thought the announcement of the FJ's last month was a a very nice surprise,can Andy top that this month do we think?.

Rob
 
It depends I guess if they are coming out in September or October.
Do you think a similar number of releases to the FJs? Or maybe a few more?
Vehicles? A Jeep seems almost certain and a motorcyle set too maybe.
A piat team, mortar team, vickers team oh the list could go on! :)
 
As its been a bit quiet on the Para front recently i'm sort of getting the idea that it may be October on these now?.I think there would probably be at least as many sets as the FJ's to start with.As for vehicles a Jeep must be fave and as you say a Piat/Mortar team would be cool.

Apart from the Paras i wonder what other goodies may be coming.I think it might be too early for Bulge stuff as thats normally wintertime isn't it.Maybe there will be an announcement on the EA/AK front?.

Rob
 
Actually come to think of it,Tony just posted that Andy is away on Hols next week.So it might be a bit later we get the dispatches.But i'm thinking he deserves his hols so we can wait!:D

Well the announcement of an EA piece of armour would be amazing. A Grant would be cool or a desert Sherman. I think it would need to be a heavy piece of armour though not another light tank.
If it was going to be DAK armour I would like to see a short barrelled panzer IV. That's the one important thing missing from the DAK range I think, well that and a desert 88!:)
 
I got a feeling Andy said a while back he won't be doing a Grant.Which is a shame as its such an Iconic Tank from that theatre.A desert Sherman would be most welcome,but maybe HB will do one first?.A short barrelled Panzer IV would be a great release,unless of course your in my EA in which case its about as welcome as dysentary!

My EA troops have transferred to Crete they are fed up with being chased all over the desert by the DAK! They've just got off the boat from North Africa which is why they are in tropical gear. However thay are mingling in along the harbour with those FOB troops that have retreated from Greece quite nicely.
"Don't mention the gasmask bag" said the EA officer. "I mentioned it once but I think I got away with it!" :D
 
:D
I will send over my Matilda and 25pounder and light tank to support your Troops James.I'm ashamed to say have no EA troops to send you yet,i could deploy my 101st/82nd Airborne divisions to protect your Cretian airfileds.:)

Rob
 
Good idea. if you could stage Operation Torch slightly early and also change the landing location to Crete I think we just might be in with a fighting chance.
 
No probs,i'll just pop back and change History,give me ten mins!!!!:D

I thought Andy mentioned a while back that the Brit Paras would be out in September, which would mean he would have them for ONTC, thus they would be in the August dispatches.

Yes you are right there Gary,so it seems we just have a few days to wait.

Rob
 
I'm picking the 88 and Tunisian Tiger every month until I get it right. The JS2 is my long shot. And maybe a non-WWII limited edition later this year. Thinking Napoleonic era.
 
YES - We need more Napoleonic release !!

I'm ashamed to say that I think its time for some French Artillery ;)

I recall the same thing. Arnhem.
 
I Wonder if we may hear about the Storch?

Rob
 
I'm hoping for some more Crusaders, specifically mounted charging Templars, Hospitallers or Teutonic knights.
 
I don't think we've had any Strictly Limited Rev. War stuff yet? Or maybe Civil War???
About time I think!
O.C.
