http://lists.csua.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gzg-lI have plenty of GK
stuff and love it.  I would like to make some of my own stuff though.

I believe the middle ground of providing a bit of variety but staying
away from specific designs for specific nations is a good way to go.  I
know plenty of folks who use NAC troops for Aussies or NSL for
Americans, etc.  Heck, I saw one person who used Israelis as alien
troopers.  

The thing that has made GZGs line strong is variety.  In all their
infantry lines you are bound to find a trooper style that fits your
vision (unless your me, but that's my problem) of your force.  Same goes
for Full Thrust.  There is a ship style for everyone.  Now, if they can
achieve this with the 15mm vehicles, they will have done a great thing
and the hobby will be all the better for it.

I think the key here is going to be variety - within reason.  Having
just one contribution to each category of vehicle will lead the GZG
hobby to a bit of stagnation.  As the supply of good 15mm vehicles is
still pretty limited, I do hope that GZG will add a few more designs to
each of their categories. 

Of course they have done wonderful things for adding variety by
including the bits (grav emitters, guns, etc).	I would like to see them
make the walker legs available seperately as well.  These all allow us
to take vehicles from other companies and tweak them, widening the
variety.  I know that some T-55s will be getting some grav emitters soon
to make them into low-tech grav vehicles. I would love to be able to
give some WW2 German Scout Cars legs too.

Gear Kreig figs can still be found. I don't play 15mm Sci-fi but I
understand why the 15mm line is getting all the love right now. I can
buy 25mm Hover tanks from several companys and I can kit bash a good one
pretty simply. Yet the only company's I can think of make good 15mm
sci-fi is GZG and PP...Since GZG stuff is darn nice and PP is hit and
miss I think GZG should be slamming the 15 sci-fi's hot and heavy...A
stronger company means that I might get to finish buying all the 25's I
want. 
As far as army specific tanks and what not, I don't think it needs to be
done....a small note in the item description saying where Eq is made
would be cool and could fit the flavor..
