Hello everyone!
Who know, Foundry plan to release a book about the warriors Oceania or not? They have already released a lot of books about various tribal warriors. Asia, America, Africa ... What about the Oceania? This is no less interesting and varied topic.

If not, let's try to create something like that! In particular, their famous "figures". Those who have any information on this topic?

Probably too narrow a niche for Foundry, but I am very interested in them.

Your idea of collecting information here on LAF is a great one.

I have a bunch of information on Dyaks, but don't know if you consider Borneo to be Oceania.

That's what I mean:

I did this sketch for 1 hour.
Figures 1 and 2: The pre-colonial Samoan warriors.
Figure 3: Samoan chief, 19th century.

Do Foundry actually still sell books?

I do not know. But Japan and Korea came out in 2011.

I was asking as I was looking for the 'Books' section on their temporary website and came up with nothing(?).

Thanks also from me, i also did not realise they were still supplying books. Have added the page to my bookmarks, as I still can't find a link direct from their homepage to the books.

Just pop 'books' into their search facility and they come up

Not the cleverest of set ups on their part. I wonder what else you can find on their website if you just know what to search for. I did try "Nubile young Ladies" - nothing found. Possibly a good thing, as the wife would not have been too happy with me if I purchased a couple of those.

Hello,

there is an item about the French military campaigns in New Caledonia 1870s-80s in "Miniature Wargames " magazine issue 127 , December 1993, titled "The Kanak insurection".

I no longer have a copy , but i recall that it has info about the battles, uniforms ,French, auxillary and "rebel"

(who actually wore mostly European clothing) forces.

Should be able to get a copy on ebay.
