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 Bushi Gunjin Supersoldier), an AFV and Combat Walker force list and an extended Japanese armoury to add to your games of World at War: Gear Krieg.

Thanks!

One of the good thing of pdf books is the possibility to update files.

At the time I wrote the Banzai book there were no suitable American 15mm Zombie miniatures around, that changed when Rebel Minis brought out their WW II US Zombies. Enough reason for me to get 50 of them, let them paint by Modartis Limited (http://www.reinforcementsbypost.com) as USMC and take some suitable pics to update the Banzai file!



All who has already bought the book should received their update note by now.


Have fun and may your dice roll high!

That's sad to see a commander order his tanks to perform a suicide attack with anti-tank explosives on the end of a pole!  The cannon are just for looks, right.   I would not want to be mech crewman for the Japanese.

Great stuff as always,
Brian

Thanks Brian!
However- the Teppoyari AT Torpedo lance is NOT a suicide weapon. Contrary to the Infantry Lunge  Mine the good armour of the walkers gave Shiki Pilots a good survival chance!
