[FT and DS 2]

Indonesian Commonwealth ships vehicles.

The GZG catalog (hard copy) I have has 25mm (but not 15mm IIRC) SG2 type
figures but the elements (infantry and vehicle for DS2) and ships (FT) are not
readily noticeable in same.

Has anyone worked up homegrown designs for same? Maybe the OUDF
players/designers have something in the wings they use for IC-OU
clashes?

The 'Pedia blurb (went out there at lunch today) leaves a lot of room for
mercenary infantry (and maybe mechanized units) but not too much use of the
fleet.

Fleet thoughts: Would the IC recycle older designs of the EC? FSE (They sell
to anyone I expect)? NAC (for political purposes the NAC might want to
influence the IC)? Certainly not the OU! Marginally (maybe) the NSL would get
involved. With a 'Pedia declaration of Military Power 5 would they *have* more
then a token Capital ship force?

How would you reflect their lowest status force of the military aspect in a
game?

What would they favor on their ships equipment/weapons/defenses-wise?

Seems the 'Gunskimmers' type vehicles of IC-OU war (2110?) must have
been army or marine crewed or the navy had a better status for at least that
period.

Seems that the forces operating off earth (Vac Navy) would be fairly efficient
to control piracy and protect trade in general between the colonies and the
Earth government. But with only short term conscripts in space? They would be
lucky not to suffer catastrophic accidents on a regular basis! Space is a very
unforgiving environment.

Possibly from the Dutch? (I know the Dutch controlled Indonesia for
300+ years, I don't know whether the Indonesians love them or hate
them).

The GZGPedia may need some editing to make those ratings accurate.

Off hand I couldn't say, but I do know there was a 'shooting match' after the
end of WWII, various police actions between the Dutch (and some British
troops) and Indonesians. But since then I think both countries have continued
to trade.
