As I've been working the way through the timeline, the Thunderbolt Division – exponents of halftracks and a Germanic approach to fighting – now have some new, updated vehicles, which are being made by Ainsty. The production masters were available to see at the Warfare show in November and I have produced a new sheet – The Thunderbolt Division post 348 – to show off the new, bigger, more capable vehicles. link
The Division has a new small half track in the pipeline too (that's at the 3D printers now) and I have – before I can get my hands on them enough to paint them – produced some rendered versions for the play sheet. PDF link
When I can get some painted – and some of the excellent new GZG Colonial Defence Forces and an MLRS or two – I will update the sheet (I want to do that from an aesthetic point of view – I'm not as happy with my renders of the half tracks as I am with the actual models…) but – mean time – you can start planning forces and ordering figures from GZG and half tracks and decals from Ainsty (there are three different sheets). The pictures won't affect the functionality of the sheet (which is a two pager covering all of the Optional Rules and Elite Skills that apply to the force.
This means that there are now 14 different forces on the Slammers website that are complete with stats and vehicle guides for vehicle manufacturers from Ainsty, Brigade, GZG, Khurasan, Critical Mass, Old Crow and Antenocitis Workshop, with figures from GZG, Armies Army and others. link
My aim is to continue to expand the choices available to players for using these rules in the Slammerverse.
