In the late 290sTW the Malaysian colonists from Terra had started to arrive on Sulewesi and by the turn of the century, having found the planet and it's two moons to be rich in iridium, molybdenum and beryllium, they had begun to build themselves an industry, the objective of which was to turn Sulewesi into the premier mining system within the sector. By the early 320's, however, all was not going according to plan on Sulewesi. The early settlers and their families had established a functional hegemony which almost entire excluded later arriving colonists from power and the seeds were sown of an argument which metamorphosed into a political movement which – in turn – became armed conflict when those who held the power seemed less than willing to share…
This is a new force link , taken from the David Drake story Night March. It uses the new South African 15mm models from Brigade (suggested infantry are the GZG Colonial Defence Force) and is a complete force in itself with multiple detachments at two levels of training (Veteran and Trained) though it can also be used with it's 'historical' allies (or rather employees) the Slammers. See here PDF link for the play sheet
In addition, it can also be used as it's own opposition as the Sulwesi Rebels with support from the Zaporoyskiye Brigade PDF link PDF link or the Brazillian Brigada Independência – the "Smoking Cobras" link . Thanks to Tony of Brigade for supplying photos and renders for me to colour up. Have fun! John Treadaway |

Amazing stuff as always. I don't currently play the Crucible, but I find the material to be very inspirational! -Will |

Thanks Mark I have a list of named forces within the Drake/Slammers canon that I'd like to do forces for, applying them to apprpriate vehicles and figures as they materialise. With the current output from various manufacturers – especially Brigade! – I find it hard to keep up, to be honest! This one was constructed after a lot of input from Tony at Brigade and – with any luck – I might even get to see them 'live' as I have a game planned at his local club on the 24th of this month!

Thanks wminsing The Slammers background is such a 'wargamers paradise' that it's quite easy to extract information for forces like this. That's the reason for all of the 'New Forces on the Web' section. John T |
