  I really like the awesome Survivors, Agents, and Operators but I feel like a simple upgrade sprue could expand their use beyond an american setting. My thoughs would be weapon upgrades sprues for these boxs (plus the French Resistance and Upcoming Female French Resistance Boxes. My Thoughts were:

  British Upgrade Set:

  L2a3 Sterling Gun (including a variation with fixed bayonet and one with a lanchester magazine), L33 Silenced Sterling, L1a1 SLR (with and without bayonet), L85a1 Rifle (including bayonet and UGL), L42a1 Rifle, Bren L4 LMG, L22 Carbine, L129a1 DMR, Accuracy International Arctic Warfare Magnum, L86a3 SAW, Lanchester SMG , Enfield L7 GPMG, Cricket Bat, L96a1 Sniper Rifle, M16 Rifle (suprisingly this is not any of the sprues)

  *I did not place the KS-01 rifle, Mp5 SMGs, FN Minimi, Colt Canada C7 or C8 rifles, or any shotguns or handguns as these can be proxied from existing kits. Nor did I put any ww2 stuff except for the Lanchester which doesn't exist in plastic.

  Ukrainian Upgrade Set:

  Ak-47, Ak-74, AKM (these all exist on the operators sprue but it would be nice to have more), Malyuk Rifle, M4 WAC (a M4 with an ak magazine), CZ Scorpion Evo, Saiga 12, AK-12 (captured from Russians), FN FNC, CZ BREN 2, FN FAL, IWI Tavor (rifle and carbine), UAR-10, FORT-101 (liscence produced Negev), PKM, Shashka sword, SKS

  *I threw a lot of stuff in here. The aim is to not make a russian set so I put some russian weapons in here but only if the I could confirm the Ukrainians have used them.

  French Upgrade Set:

  MR 73 revolver (GIGN), FAMAs, HK 416, MAS-49, MAT-49 SMG, FR F1 Sniper, AA-52 GPMG, FR F2 Sniper, 

  *No WW2 rifles are included as they are present in the French Army boxes from Warlord Games and Wargames Atlantic.

  Hunting Weapons Upgrade Set: 

  Muzzleloaders, Compound Bows, Modern Crossbows, Winchester Model 1895 Rifle, Some more generic looking bolt actions, lever actions, semi-auto rifles, Magnum Revolvers, Bear Spray, Machetes, Hatchets, Big Knives, Over-And-Under Shotguns, Pump Shotguns, Side by side shotguns, Semi-auto shotguns, .22 rimfire rifles.

  *ALl of these weapons would have a less tactical and more hunting look by having longer barrels than the models in the basic civilian and survivor sets.

  Any Other Ideas?

  *ahem*.

  P90s P90s P90s P90s P90s P90s P90s P90s P90s P90s P90s P90s P90s P90s P90s P90s P90s P90s please please please please please for the love of god please

  (I imagine other esoteric/experimental weapons might go over well, if we're doing upgrade sprues. particularly, I think an SCP-styled mtf sprue would be fun, if kinda niche. lastly I'd quite like cooler helmets, the current ones look less like soldiers and more like that one weird cousin who's way too into tactical gear but would never join the military. but I digress.)

  Can't speak much for other countries, but for armed civilians for a zombie apocalypse/Red Dawn scenario in the USA, these sets are pretty well-rounded and covered, with a few curious omissions that would be pretty common for the setting:

  • "AK-47" stile rifles:  the semi-auto AKM platform is not quite as common as the AR-15 in Fly-Over Country gun-and-knife shows and pawn shops, but it's pretty common and popular, thanks to a post-Cold War flood of Romanian WASR-10s, Yugo M-70s, and similar rifles modified for the US civilian market.  Chances are good you're going to find a couple of these in any gathering of American hillbillies at a gun range, dump, hunting trip, or family reunion.
  • The SKS:  imported in fairly large quantities back in the '80s and '90s from Russia, China, Yugoslavia, and in smaller numbers from other countries, the SKS was a popular low-budget "plinker" back in those days, before supplies faded, inflation kicked in, and prices rose.  Up to the 2000s or so, the SKS would have been among the top recommendations of a rifle for any surivalist's preparations for TEOTWAKI, as a fine hunting rifle for deer, hogs, rabid dogs, poisonous snakes, zombies, and goblins.
  • Small handguns:  the sort that would be suitable for concealed carry, such as compact semiautos, snub-noded revolvers, etc.
  • Modern crossbows, compound bows, katanas, nunchaku:  all the other usual goodies for arming up a party of mall-ninjas and Walking Dead cosplayers!

   

  There's otherwise a host of civilian deer and other sporting and home defense rifles and shotguns, such as the popular Ruger 10-22 (another popular recommendation for survivalists over the years); the two survivor kits will cover most of these bases just fine between the generic hunting rifles, pump shotguns, generic larger-frame revolvers and semiauto handguns, and the ever-popular AR-15 (M-4/M-16) style rifles included in all of these kits.  And then, there's the huge number of collectible military surprlus arms, generally from WWII up to the early Cold War, such as Mosin-Nagants, SMLEs, M1 Garands, and Mauser rifles, which are mostly available in the WGA WWI and WWII kits.

  I'm not really sure if the omissions are worth an accessory sprue, but they do make for an oddly un-American looking group of survivors!

  But, as always, improvised weapons and non-weapon gear would certainly be welcome for any hypothetical upgrade sprue:  molotov cocktails, sticks of dynamite, hand and power tools (say, claw hammers, pitchforks, or chainsaws), cell phones and radios and tablets, backpacks, shopping bags of looted supplies, meat cleavers, butcher knives, hatchets, flashlights/torches....

  Come to think of it, the survivors are a bit suburban and urban for my part of the country, and I could really go for a set of Pulp Adventure modular build-your-own Southern Gothic cannibal hillbilly family, "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" or "Hills Have Eyes" style, in more rural outfits (overalls, longer dresses), with gross faces and creepy slasher masks among the head options.  I really should have suggested that for the Sprue Game contest!

  Oh well, I've got enough of a variety of spare bits these days, I can make do with what I've got the next time I ever want to go there - I guess I'm basically talking about modern-era orcs and goblins, after all, and just between the Survivors sets and the Damned, I'm probably close enough.

   

  Anyway, I'm all for upgrade sprues for this line, and for my tastes, I probably lean more toward general-purpose improvised weapons, tools, and outdated military surplus, but YMMV.
