Hi again,
time for some additional information of our planned Gear Krieg: Banzai! book.
The book follows our established and successful format.
Gear Krieg - Banzai! is a comprehensive guide to using the Japanese superscience infantry forces and the famous superscience walker in Battlefield Evolution World at War: Gear Krieg. It also provides the rich and detailed background of the Pacific War in the Gear Krieg universe. Over 10 pages will just be on the background of the conflict in the Pacific theatre of the Gear Krieg universe.
Gear Krieg - Banzai! takes a close look at superscience infantry units and the many types of the Shiki, Watatsumi and Hachiman walker for your Japanese forces from all periods of World War II!
Each unit and vehicle is detailed with background information, factory variants, field modifications and a modelling guide.
Included are 5 Shiki 38 variants, 6 different Shiki 41, 2 Watatsumi and 1 Hachiman combat walker configurations. The book also provides new Traits and weapons, four Infantry Army lists (Betsudotai Ninja Special Forces Platoon, Imperial Japanese Koumajutsu (Zombie) Platoon, Imperial Japanese Oni Trooper Platoon, Imperial Japanese Supersoldier), an AFV and Combat Walker force list and an extended Japanese armoury to add to your games of World at War: Gear Krieg.
The keen reader will have noticed two new Japanese Walker names! The Watatsumi and Hachiman are new designs!
Robert and I talked a lot about the possibility of the new Shiki models and agreed to use them a bit more to provide the Japanese players some more toys.
Background preview (the final text maybe a bit different, but you will get the point)
The Watatsumi
The Watatsumi combat walker was based on the German Panzerkämpfer VI, known as the "Donner" ("Thor"). In 1944 some Donner walkers, along with a few Tiger tanks, were sold to Japan. The blueprints could be delivered in 1943 by a successful Yanagi submarine mission. At the time the German walkers were delivered to Japan, Japanese Engineers already worked on unique solutions to adapt the German design to the Pacific operation theatre. The first combat ready Watatsumi walker was delivered in March 1944 to the Imperial Japanese Army.
Since the German Donner was designed from the beginning to be highly modular, with multiple reinforced hardpoints, redundant wiring and hydraulic networks, and spacious engine compartment most modifications proved to be easily done.
It was very soon decided to use the same multifunctional turret that was used on the Shiki walker variants. The sturdier frame of the Donner walker enabled the vehicle to carry a better armoured turret that could also mount bigger guns. The unusual at least for a Japanese AFV - big engine compartment could take the 400 HP Air-cooled Type 4 V12 Diesel engine with supercharger that was also used in the Type 4 Chi-To Medium tank. The combination of the Donner frame and the V12 Diesel engine proved to be a great success, no Watatsumi walker was plagued by the random shutdowns of the frequently overheated engine that bugged the original Donner walker.
The Hachiman
A single Uller was sold to Japan in early 1943, but was never delivered thanks to an Allied commando operation. Later that year another Uller including all necessary blueprints to rebuild the walker - was successfully delivered to Japan by a Yanagi mission. The walker was renamed Hachiman, as the Shinto god of war and divine protector of Japan and the Japanese people.
As with the Watasumi walker Japanese engineers could benefit a lot from the experiences made during development of the German original. It was soon decided to make the armour on the heavy Hachiman walker a little bit thinner on the sides to decrease the weight of the walker. Mobility and engine endurance was more important in jungle warfare as thick armour.
The Type 3 Hachiman was initially to be powered by a Diesel engine, but the advancements needed to provide the necessary horsepower could never be realized, and a 800 HP V-12 gasoline-driven aircraft engine designed by BMW in Germany and licensed to Kawasaki Heavy Industries in Japan was selected instead. The "Kawasaki Type 98 800 HP engine Ha-9-IIb" was detuned for the walker to 550 HP. The engine performed better the original Uller engine, which required continuous maintenance.
In June 1943 the first production Hachiman walkers immediately shipped to frontline units in the Solomon Islands and the rest of the Pacific theatre.
Both walkers are based on the Donner and Ullr models, to build them you will obviously need a fitting Shiki blister and either a Donner or Ullr blister. I am working currently on the models and will show them asap.

Hi again,
time for some additional information of our planned Gear Krieg: Banzai! book. The whole story can be found here:
http://www.adpublishing.de/html/gear_krieg_banzai_.html
Japanese Supersoldiers
Minis by Rebel Minis (-> http://www.rebelminis.com/) ; the head from the second soldier from left is by Skytrex (Command Decision)
We have reached an agreement to use the fine 15mm Titan Marines from Rebel Minis as our weird WW II Japanese Supersoldiers.
Background: In July 1943, Unit 100 received the chemical formula of the chemical cocktail used for the creation of the German Supersoldiers. Together with their own research Unit 100 scientist were able to create a highly addictive, breathable drug that could be given for a prolonged time to humans.
The test subjects showed the same increased strength, endurance and reaction time as the German Supersoldiers without the constant risk of physical collapse. The drug needed to be applied almost constantly via a specially designed breathing apparatus. As soon the drug was not used for more than two days all test subjects died within minutes.
Still the Japanese high command did not hesitated for long and ordered the production of the combat drug for field-testing. The effects of the breathable drug allowed the soldiers to wear heavy body armour without penalty and carry the Type 4 light machinegun as a standard weapon!
Owing to their greater effectiveness and the limited amount of the drugs a Supersoldier squad consisted of just two teams of three members each.

The keen reader of previous post will have noticed two new Japanese Walker names! The Watatsumi and Hachiman are new designs! Robert and I talked a lot about the possibility of the new Shiki models and agreed to use them a bit more to provide the Japanese players some more toys.
Shiki 38 Command - by DP9, Jungle Buildings and Peasants by Peter Pig
The Watatsumi
The Hachiman
Both walkers are based on the Donner and Ullr models, to build them you will obviously need a fitting Shiki blister and either a Donner or Ullr blister. Since both blister are equipped with an abundance of parts you can still build two complete walker and do not have to sacrifice anything!

some more pics...
I have the army for the pictures of the Gear Krieg: Bazai! book more or less finished. 2 more walkers and all will be fine to sent out to our layout guru Dave.
The bulk of the infantry was painted by "Reinforcements by post", they did a fantastic job, even I have a hard time to tell which infantry bases are painted by me and which by them!
Highly recommended. So 'nuff said, on with some teaser pics...

Also - After long discussions with our creative consultant Reuben Molloy, we also decided to add rules to use multi-based infantry (as in Flames of War) in Battlefield Evolution including many examples and clarifying photos. The section will be similar to the corresponding section of the Gear Krieg book, but will also feature the adjusted points values for the multi-based infantry units of the Mongoose Pacific War book.

New Project: World at War Back of Beyond
I am also working on a supplement covering the Interwar period armies of Central Asia!
The Back of Beyond title is a working title, I am not sure if I may get into any copyright issues by doing so...
BTW- How to contact Mr. Copplestone? I have ordered countless times via his website, but there seems to be no email address?
Anyway - what will be in the book? New or modified traits – covers all the traits you need to play with the units of this book. There are new traits (Grenades, Weak AA) to give you the “interwar feel”.
Army lists – the meat of the book – brings you the force structures and unit descriptions, pictures and stats for most of the factions involved in the troubled years between the wars in Central Asia.
Already written are the following army lists:
The Army of British India
The Bolsheviks
The Chinese Bandits
The Chinese Warlord Army
The Mad Baron’s Army
The Mongolian Tribes
The Tibetans
The White Russians
Army of British India Gun - Brigade Games
Stats for the following vehicle and air units will be also included:
Rolls-Royce Armoured Car
Lancaster 4x2 Armoured Car
Austin Armoured Car
Austin-Putilov Armoured Car
Austin-Kégresse Halftrack
Medium Mark C Tank
Vickers Medium Mk I Tank
Renault FT-17 Tank
Generic Biplane
Larger than life Characters and eccentric Equipment – special characters for all the army lists to give you even more options. Beware – some of these characters are indeed larger than life, they extend the game into a pulpier setting, away from the historical one.
Artillery Officer
Communist Demagogue
The European Spy
The Big Game Hunter
Female Adventurer
Female Scholar
Foreign Bodyguard
Foreign Mortar Supplier
German Mercenaries
Heroic Scout

The last couple of days I was writing a bit more on the historical background, while doing so I realized that the book would not be complete without the Basmachi and the possibility to field a Turkish adviced army (Enver Pasha!).
So another army list will be included as well: The Basmachi!
I have to stop soon otherwise the book will get too big...
