I 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..
