The latest of our 15mm models to be co-opted into the Hammer’s Slammers<\/a> background by John Treadaway are the South African<\/a> wheeled vehicles. They represent the National Army of Sulewesi<\/a>, a Malaysian mining colony riven by civil war. John has paired the SAC tanks and APCs, our new EuroFed<\/a> 4×4 and 6×6 utility vehicles and Ground Zero Games<\/a>‘ Colonial Defence Force<\/a> figures to create a fully wheeled force (except for the scout troops on horseback !).<\/p>\n

I’d already started painting an SAC force when John told me about his plans for the Sulewesi, so I ordered a few extra infantry, added the scout cars and created a force of three 10-element detachments.<\/p>\n

I decided to kit the vehicles out with plenty of accessories – crew in open hatches, lots of stowage including external fuel tanks and pintel machine guns. I created a command Rhino using aerials and a spare radome from a PacFed AA tank.<\/p>\n
