July-August theme poll
🕑 Added 2023-06-04 08:15:06 +0000 UTCPrepare for trouble!
And make it double!
Hello everyone! While I'm (slowly) finishing the VBSS addon, let's now vote for July-August theme
As always you can check the existing themes in the spreadsheet below to propose new ideas, which will appear in the future polls. Also - if i did not add something you already proposed, please do it again as i could just forget.

All my polls are held in a bit complicated, but more fair way to my opinion: Initial poll will have several subjects and if none of them will reach 50%+1vote, I will make second round with only two post popular choices. A bit like during elections, yeah.
Today's poll will consist of three options instead of usual four, but i was glad to see that all of them were supported in comments so i hope you don't mind.
1. PMC in plainclothes
Title speaks for itself - will be about 8-10 models wearing T-shirts, polo shirts, jeans, tactical pants etc with warbelts and occasional packpacks. Think of it as a "a bit more discreet" version of Combat Octopods NA&E (Octopods will have heavier and high-profile equipment)
Extra comment: some of my subscribers asked me i can make a couple of female operators. Same style as everyone else, with warbelts/backpacks/rifles. I think it would be a good idea, because the girls don't appear often in PMC-ish sets.
For Corporal will be models with mix of weapons (SIG 716 return, anyone?)
For Sergeant will add Magpul Masada option (because i love it) and heads + something from your proposals which i like the most
2. Combat Octopods Caucasus and Central Asia
New Octopods! Gorka suits, plate carriers, warbelts, Russian weapons and stuff. Will also allow to make "Eastern Europe irregulars" to those who really need them with some mix-and-match with Octopods/KSK/etc.
For Corporal will be models with assortment of Russian weapons
For Sergeant will add some new weapons (AGS-30 or NSV-12.7?) and heads
3. US and Soviet-Russian tank crews
A new theme but why not. As Big Nick remarked, there are terrific AFV minis from Bob Mack out there, but not enough crews for them.
For Corporal will be a 4 + 4 teams (Abrams crew and T-55/62 crew so to speak)
For Sergeant will add extra heads and "tank commander in hatch" options

You had me at Masada - Plainclothes PMC also fits very well with a US-Marshall Fugitive Task Force project I've had in mind for a while!

Love all three, the AFV crew is definitely going to be a wish list down the line. But the call of the Masada is too strong
