What a fascinating post thank you for highlighting this lesser-known conflict - imagine this could be a fun one to game in all its gruesome glory...

You need a new group  ;)

An alternative is to play it solo. The nature of this conflict seems to have been quite suitable for TMWWBK "Mr Babbage". The Seediq ambushing the Japanese over and over again.

Anyway, I staged some photos trying to mimic the movie where a platoon is sent into the highlands.

The sun is shining and everyone are happy, looking forward to civilize the primitive hilltribe







Meanwhile the Seediq Bale are preparing the reception...










The Japanese police patrol move into the ravine...not knowing that the enemy is all around them...







The trap is sprung and the point man receives an arrow in the chest







After firing their muskets the Seediq Bale are eager to add to their head collection and rush towards the invaders...
















Thus starts an almost 40 year long struggle for independance from the Japanese

Had to move them from their own section to make room for the medieval buildings.

Looks great, and now definitely curious to find out more about the history of the conflict.
