Following on from the release of the 15mm versions<\/a> last year, today sees the release of three 6mm Han Chinese vehicles – the same trio of wheeled tank, APC and scout car. The Hammer’s Slammers story that they are taken from, The Warrior, sees them fighting in a region of paddy fields and marshland, which is why they are equipped with wide balloon tyres to better negotiate the terrain.<\/p>\n

These vehicles are used by the Han Black Banner Brigade, an elite armoured formation. Also in the works are large 8×8 trucks used by the People’s Militia infantry units, including an 18-round rocket launcher unit. This will give two contrasting options for Han forces and tactics – the laser-armed armoured vehicles of the Guards, or human wave attacks from the truck-borne militia. We’re currently working with John Treadaway on new playsheets for the Han – in fact, play-testing is happening next week.<\/p>\n
