Guys, I'm working my way through the complete saga, and thinking that this would be a neat background for my games. Has anyone done the same? I haven't seen...
IIRC, the armor consisted of a helmet and black "synthileather" tunic and trousers. I've always presumed that the Nemourlon was either fitted into the leathers...
I just recalled - there's a description of a trooper's gear in "The Mercenary" (when the New Washington representative arrives to hire the Legion). Relevant...
Thanks much for the great input. So my inclination to do the Cadians in maybe khaki trousers and tunic and a drab brown armor and helmet should be about right?...
For 25mm size minis, I think the old Ral Partha Battle Tech "Battle Troops" would be great for this also. They are in light armor and one platoon is armed...
Probably - if anyone asks, just tell 'em the Legion is wearing appropriate colors for the terrain they're fighting in. :) - Geo ... -- The Techromancer's...
I noticed some of these flyers being used by the Sergeants Mess Games club, in the report on Bovington in Wargames Illustrated. Does anyone know where I can...

Hugh, I had chance to look in Mr Smiths reading rooms at lunchtime and found the show report from Bovington. The Sergeants Mess game was captioned as a Hammers...
Either actually, I have seen the flyers, as Shieldwall were at B'mouth and Eastbourne and Woolwich recently, they are said to be 15mm and would be about...
Hugh, from the image on Sheildwall's site I'd say it looks like a cross between a jetcopter gunship and ED209 from Robocop. You could add a pylon and rotor...
I've been having a clear out ready for moving house. Mainly this has meant unloading masses of unpainted white-metal and loads of rule sets I don't play...
SMLE 2.0 Ideas so far ... Organisation is 'Platoon Level'. Activation for squad/section and/or platoon leaders. Squads/Sections are composed of 2-4 ELEMENTS. ...
Hi, I received an e-mail query re Predators in Slammer. It looks a good'un to pass around the Y! Group. Have any of you played Predators in Slammer ? Have you...
Robert, You may find Predators work best in an umpired game where your players think they are just fighting each other. An urban gang vs police scenario, as in...
Ontos, I've added you to the Slammer skirmish mailing list. Welcome, come in have a look around and ask questions... Slammer rules is not specifically about...
... Comment from user: Found your rules while searching for sci fi skirmish games. Looks interesting (& fast) & might be suitable for Star Guard or the old FGU...
Hi, I've added a couple more mini's companies on the Slammer Links page and re-pointed some of the older links. http://www.loran.karoo.net/slammer/links.html ...
Just an idea you may like to consider when setting up a game... Part 1 The referee presents a scenario to the players. The scenario includes an 'Intelligence'...
... Further thoughts... You might be wondering why a 1D6 table goes from 0 to 7 ? I intended that unit leaders would modify the dice roll for their subordinate...
Marc, Zulus were added to Slammer after watching the film one Christmas. Also to see how they would work. I don't know if any one ever play tested them as...
I did not send that. I don't know how they did it. It used my work e-mail address while my PC was switched off. I neither use, need or sell their product and I...
Hey Chris. Long time no chat. I have been here since the early days of the rules. I was wondering if you had thought about using Print on Demand services like...
Hi John, For most of its life Slammer has been free to download. I've no idea how many people have downloaded it or are playing it (if any). There was a time...
Hey Chris. Actually, you can do it both ways. You can provide a PDF for those that want it. Or you could do as Two Hour Wargames does and send a PDF...
