I've got a 'bigtator', always thought it'd make a good mecha for an army of Urban War Viridians (with Rezolution 'peacekeeper' elite power armoured troops).

Not as good as the real thing obviously, but the Damocles box page
http://www.at-43.com/game_support.php?lg=EN
on the AT-43 official site shows pix of the factory paintjobs.

Made a couple of small edits to the PDF list (http://herosgames.homestead.com/files/PDF.pdf). It now allows you to field the up-and-coming Karmans from AT-43 as uplifted gorillas (they do look like gorillas, really!) as well as humans.

Also added an option to field uplifted canines. Suchlike aren't in the game, at least not yet, but I since all the apes can now come out and play I though the dog oughta get their chance to serve too

OKAY!

UNE army list has been finalised after much agony and several total reworkings. I really think this one captures a decent cross-section of the UNE, with particular reference to high morale troops, plenty of heavy powered armour, and some pretty big guns. In addition, many of the core troops are available from Amazon Miniatures UK.

Now, how do I upload it??

Well, I managed to work in most weapons suites, PI, Assault Troopers, HAT/ASP, Commandos, Recce Commandos, Recce Troopers. I added a "PI support" frame to kinda-sorta carry the weapons associated with the HQ section and bring the Calliope and Auto-RAM into play as ordinary PI weapons.

I knocked the Calliope back to 2 ammo, both as a legacy of an older version of the list where I was working with different point caps, and because the damn things don't really work all that great so they might as well be cheap.

I up-gunned the Blaster to compensate for the lower availability of attack chits and the lack of auto-fire, and just because I thought UNE Commandos should be scary.

I had to pare back some of the less significant (outdoors) weapons on the standard Behemoth as they were wasting points and frames. I wanted to keep the RXS as infantry, but it wouldn't take much effort to make it AME.

Currently I'm going with a fairly low % Elite (only 25%) relative to Vehicle and Ad-Hoc. I reason the Commandos are mostly underground or committed late... and fairly inflexible. Also: the UNE vehicle I have- the Superfortress- is really pricey and I want to field it pretty much every game The high ad-hoc allows for some of the Planetstorm/ LOS flexibility, and I figure the UNE are sort of WW2 Americans, who as far as I understand, showed a remarkable ability to regroup and reform ad-hoc units after bungled drops and heavy casualties.

I've worked in a Ford FAV and have a placeholder for an APC. I think the Pig Iron Ironshield/ Ironstorm might be the only real option considering the size of the later sculpts, which were unabashedly 32mm scale and sometimes hit 40mm.

I was wondering if someone would set up a page for these armies. It would be nice to be able to refer people to it.

Well, I feel compelled to say it; that the UNE are actually patterned after Korean War/Cold War Era Canadians, (Ref. discussions with the creator and other sources.) but I get your meaning.

Well, as far as the Planetstorm concept goes, you have definitely got a point there.  Liberating planet by planet has a definite War-in-the-Pacific feel to it, and Canadians were not big players in that theater.

Yeppers.  I also enjoyed the diplomatic way they handled that in the fluff text too.  words to the effect of: 'Because a majority of the planet had been under the British rule at one point or another, that the insignia would be the most commonly recognized version for a new united planetary army.'

Yeah, the term 'Fantasian' was used to denote our adversary in any military training we did during the Cold War... we all knew it was really the Soviet Union, but it wasn't polite to practice going to war against an actual country we weren't actually at war with.

The 'MRR' Motor Rifle Regiment was the standard Soviet combat unit.  Motor referring to the fact that the infantry were motorized...meaning the rifle infantry didn't walk to battle.

All in all, that's why I love the UNE so much.  It's got enough nods to realism, and personal nostalgia to make it a worthwhile force to have, especially with the Fantasians as a counter-point.

I sometimes long for the days when we were prepared to go toe to toe with the big tough bad guys, rather than drive around looking for the third-world-weakling bad guys, and hope not to get unceremoniously blown up by an IED.

I can set one up, it's not a biggie. In fact, here's a placeholder for one (awaiting the time I can actually spare a few minutes to add content, obviously):

Can't guarantee the site'll hold up under the inevitably humungous barrage of download demands tho :roll:

The page's been updated into a bare-bones version (as opposed to the previous placeholder version):

Smokingwreckage's LoS Infranite list and Ironchicken's 2 Victorian scifi lists can be now accessed at or via my D:VG fan site. With apologies to the authors for the long publication time.
