This was the main battle tank of the French during the 1980s and up into the 1990s, finally seeing action when the French engaged the Iraqi Army in the first Gulf War. The AMX-30 had a pile of variants (crossing fingers we see the BRENUS slathered in ERA) and other vehicles using the chassis, and modernised versions are still in use today, including by Saudi Arabia in their conflict against the Houthis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is going to be a very handy set for the Ultramodern games &#8211; there are a lot of vehicles from this time period that ended up being used all over the world, especially among the smaller nations using APCs.

These were previewed over the last few weeks (including AT3 Sagger teams, Anti-Tank grenades and a pile of other toys. However, Steffan at Flank March has been starting work on Wave 3 and, as part of it, has added a new item. It seems that there has been a ghost hidden in the archives, a reference to the KdA militia using a &#8220;12.7mm Machine Gun&#8221; but with little other reference to what exact weapon this refers to &#8211; the Soviet Bloc had two 12.7 HMGs (the classic DShK and the NSV), and there was potential for either of them to appear in the East German arsenal. However, Flank March has managed to find pictorial evidence of KdA militia using the DShK on a wheeled platform and has sculpted them up, giving a new model that will be included in Wave 3 for free for all backers when they are released later this year.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<h2 id=\"pegasus-miniatures-details-more-about-contact-wait-out-9a3c65cb-3613-42bb-ae62-de55ba22f91a\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pegasus Miniatures Details More About &#8220;Contact, Wait Out!&#8221;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;6a899f483a795&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"6a899f483a795\" class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full is-resized wp-lightbox-container\"><img data-opt-id=889760070  data-opt-src=\"https:\/\/mlacoqdo5690.i.optimole.com\/w:auto\/h:auto\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/image-6-4.jpg\"  decoding=\"async\" width=\"1272\" height=\"1771\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--pointerdown=\"actions.preloadImage\" data-wp-on--pointerenter=\"actions.preloadImageWithDelay\" data-wp-on--pointerleave=\"actions.cancelPreload\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20viewBox%3D%220%200%20100%%20100%%22%20width%3D%22100%%22%20height%3D%22100%%22%20xmlns%3D%22http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%22%3E%3Crect%20width%3D%22100%%22%20height%3D%22100%%22%20fill%3D%22transparent%22%2F%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-34150\" style=\"width:auto;height:800px\" old-srcset=\"https:\/\/mlacoqdo5690.i.optimole.com\/w:1272\/h:1771\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/image-6-4.jpg 1272w, https:\/\/mlacoqdo5690.i.optimole.com\/w:108\/h:150\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/image-6-4.jpg 108w, https:\/\/mlacoqdo5690.i.optimole.com\/w:768\/h:1069\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/image-6-4.jpg 768w, https:\/\/mlacoqdo5690.i.optimole.com\/w:1103\/h:1536\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/image-6-4.jpg 1103w\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-bind--aria-label=\"state.thisImage.triggerButtonAriaLabel\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.thisImage.buttonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.thisImage.buttonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No updates on figures this week, but Pegasus Miniatures did have some more updates on their ruleset. Contact, Wait Out is going to be a very small number of figures, with 1 to 6 figures per side and a recommendation for multiple players per team, especially if you can have each figure controlled by a separate player. This is also a ruleset where detail will be king &#8211; stance, speed and ammo are all important, and it&#8217;s very easy to be hit and dropped. As much as this might sound overwhelming, the ruleset is an adaptation of Warwick Kinrade&#8217;s &#8220;Normandy Firefight&#8221;, which I have heard very positive things about.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pegasus Miniatures are still waiting to launch once all the behind-the-scenes stuff is done, so expect more updates soon.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<h2 id=\"haywire-modern-ai-previewed-on-modiphus-blog-f4df2772-4955-475b-96d6-c5d34dbdaecb\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Haywire Modern AI Previewed On Modiphus Blog<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;6a899f483b8ad&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"6a899f483b8ad\" class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full is-resized wp-lightbox-container\"><img data-opt-id=36107542  data-opt-src=\"https:\/\/mlacoqdo5690.i.optimole.com\/w:auto\/h:auto\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/image-6-5.jpg\"  decoding=\"async\" width=\"1500\" height=\"833\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--pointerdown=\"actions.preloadImage\" data-wp-on--pointerenter=\"actions.preloadImageWithDelay\" data-wp-on--pointerleave=\"actions.cancelPreload\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20viewBox%3D%220%200%20100%%20100%%22%20width%3D%22100%%22%20height%3D%22100%%22%20xmlns%3D%22http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%22%3E%3Crect%20width%3D%22100%%22%20height%3D%22100%%22%20fill%3D%22transparent%22%2F%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-34151\" style=\"width:800px\" old-srcset=\"https:\/\/mlacoqdo5690.i.optimole.com\/w:1500\/h:833\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/image-6-5.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/mlacoqdo5690.i.optimole.com\/w:150\/h:83\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/image-6-5.jpg 150w, https:\/\/mlacoqdo5690.i.optimole.com\/w:768\/h:426\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/image-6-5.jpg 768w\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-bind--aria-label=\"state.thisImage.triggerButtonAriaLabel\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.thisImage.buttonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.thisImage.buttonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Modiphus have continued their previews of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/HaywireWargame\">Haywire Modern<\/a>, with <a href=\"https:\/\/modiphius.net\/blogs\/news\/how-do-enemies-work-in-haywire-modern\">this week&#8217;s post covering how the enemies and AI systems work<\/a>.

The Ukrainians and Russians are getting upgraded, but then we&#8217;ll be seeing a core set of new Insurgents to replace the sets currently available, before expanding into region-specific packs around various theatres around the world. After that, we&#8217;ll be seeing a set of 2003-era US Forces in Iraq, ideal to match with the figures being released alongside<a href=\"https:\/\/www.kickstarter.com\/projects\/no-name-games\/eleven-bravo-miniature-agnostic-modern-warfare\/description\"> Eleven Bravo.<\/a> Overall it&#8217;s a good time to be interested in 15mm ultramodern wargaming &#8211; maybe I should take a look at that&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you want to receive the Ukrainian figures, you can sign up over on the WarDaddy Studios Patreon.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img data-opt-id=965187363  data-opt-src=\"https:\/\/mlacoqdo5690.i.optimole.com\/w:auto\/h:auto\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/image.png\"  decoding=\"async\" width=\"1058\" height=\"775\" src=\"data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20viewBox%3D%220%200%20100%%20100%%22%20width%3D%22100%%22%20height%3D%22100%%22%20xmlns%3D%22http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%22%3E%3Crect%20width%3D%22100%%22%20height%3D%22100%%22%20fill%3D%22transparent%22%2F%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-31472\" old-srcset=\"https:\/\/mlacoqdo5690.i.optimole.com\/w:1058\/h:775\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/image.png 1058w, https:\/\/mlacoqdo5690.i.optimole.com\/w:150\/h:110\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/image.png 150w, https:\/\/mlacoqdo5690.i.optimole.com\/w:768\/h:563\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/image.png 768w\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you want to support my work on gathering the news together,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.patreon.com\/ChargeBlog\">my Patreon<\/a>&nbsp;is the best way to keep things going.
