I'd like to see the WWI sets move out if 1914 and depict the war at it's height. Verdun and the Somme. Steel helmets on all sides, mud, gasmasks. Grenades, mortars, flame throwers, trench raiders.
I'd like to see Belleau Wood for different reasons -- the first large scale US action(Chateau Thierry -- a few days earlier and 5 miles away only involved one battalion), it involved USMC, US Army, French and German troops. The Marines were wearng a mixture of Marine Green and Army OD uniforms, and because of the summer heat, most fought without their uniform coats, in shirtsleeves. Should make for an interesting variety of figures.
