I've been doing a lot of thinking. While I stand by what I'd like to see, I am also not absolutely married to the exact release pattern I outlined. Since Set 2 is going to come with a full rulebook, perhaps SJ Games should finish up the Paneuro forces before moving on.

With that in mind, here's an alternate path:

Set 3: Paneuro "Rare" Units
Red Plastic:
2x Ogre Mk I and 1x Ogre Mk II
1x Ogre Mk III-B
Blue Plastic:
2x Laser Turrets and 1x Laser Tower
2x Missile Crawlers with removable missiles and 2x extra "flying" missiles
4x Hovertrucks and 6x Trucks
6x INF with 6x Heavy Weapons and 6x "2-squad" bases (or more)
1x Mobile Command Post + 4x Light Artillery Drones

Set 4: Combine "Basic" Units
Red Plastic:
42x INF in 3 different poses with 14 bases
8x GEVs
8x Heavy Tanks
6x Missile Tanks
4x Howitzers
1x Command Post
Blue Plastic:
1x Ogre Mk III
1x Ogre Mk V (perhaps with a new supplemental sprue for a towerless variant)

Set 5: Combine "Advanced" Units
Red Plastic:
12x Light GEVs
12x Light Tanks
6x GEV-PCs with 18x INF
6x Superheavy Tanks
4x Mobile Howitzers
1x Ogre Mk VI
Blue Plastic:
1x Doppelsoldner

Set 6: Combine "Rare" Units
Red Plastic:
2x Laser Turrets and 1x Laser Tower
2x Missile Crawlers with removable missiles and 2x extra "flying" missiles
4x Hovertrucks and 6x Trucks
6x INF with 6x Heavy Weapons and 6x "2-squad" bases (or more)
1x Mobile Command Post + 4x Light Artillery Drones
1x Ogre Ninja with 2x modified LGEV drones
1x Ogre Vulcan with 2x modified Heavy Tank drones

This would make Set 7 a bunch of buildings and Militia, Set 8 would be new cybertanks and other units, and Set 9 - if we got that far - could be Ogrethulhu. Yes, I'd repeat the Ogre Mk III and Mk V, but they ARE the most common cybertanks of the Last War. Even if someone is limiting themselves to one of each set, they can use extras of those two Ogres, especially in Paneuro Blue.
