Japanese invasion of Taiwan - Warriors of the Rainbow (Seediq Bale)

[fred]

What a great project!

The figures and terrain come together so well. I had zero awareness of this as a conflict - so will now go and find out more!

Thanks for your comments! I have not been able to find so much detailed information on the conflict. There are some good details of the tribesmen in "Armies of the 19th century" by Ian Heath.
The "milestones" are the initial invasion  after the native tribes were defeated but insurrection started again in 1930 with the "Wushe (or Musha) incident" where the Atayal tribe leader Mona Rudao orchestrated the slaughter of 134 Japanese.  Some info below but he best inspiration is definately the movie

Is the film mentioned at the beginning of this thread (Warriors of the Rainbow) a Taiwanese production, or was it done by mainland China (CCP)? 

Thanks
