Sweet new ride

The G.O.T. Hunchback usually served the T-PEA in an urban pacification role (http://www.antenocitisworkshop.com/governance-of-technology.html). 

The hunchback has earned a good reputation as an effective and well-protected vehicle leading to strong export sales.  The Hunchback v2 (Hi-Mob) has just entered service with the Red Jackets, an up and coming mercenary group.

The Hunchback v2HM is pictured in delivery spec with no additional markings.  It sports enhanced traction hi-mob wheels and an up-gunned remote weapons station (medium ATGM and light plasma cannon)

 The hunchback v2HM is spacious


 and stylish...


When I saw these I couldn't help think that they might serve as an updated version of GZG's Hoplite carrier, much like the new Phalanx and Paladin's are updated versions.  So, having a few spare wheels I tried out one conversion, and hey Presto! It works, for me at least.

I only had one set of wheels so so this one will be lonely until I get some more.

Helloooooo, any one there

Quiet time at he blog these days as I've been in my post-ECC GZG Con lull, and leading into summer kid- and house/garden-stuff has had me busy. 

However, an old friend and I just recently revived our interest in gaming Warlord Africa using Peter Pig's excellent AK-47 Republic rules.   A few years ago when we both lived in New York we played a few games in a series with the same armies: MOFO (his), CRAP and ZITFACE (both mine).  The campaign got suspended as first I, then he, moved away for work/family.  This long intro serves to introduce, Zoswete, the fictional country we set our campaign in.  At the time I was learning how to blog, so I made a forray into bloggin with Zoswete: Its kind of sparse but got some old pics on there. 

So on to the revival, my friend was recently spotted recruiting ex-Rhodesians as a mercenary Fireforce into his army MOFO (unfortunately they did not make it in time for this engagement).  As luck would have it, he had to come up this way for work so he stayed over.  We managed to squeeze in a game before he left, so here for your pleasure is the latest installment in the Zoswete saga:
