Eagle Hammer

by Eric Johnson

After the unsuccessful attempt of the unit and the Texians to capture General Malik, the unit is eventually deployed to Talis, a forested planet where a republic has broken away from the main planetary government. Hired to support the Golden Eagles, a crack tank mercenary regiment, the unit heads to the planet in a more "conventional" tank setting rather than a couner-insurgency one.It should be noted that this is not a "True" Hammers Slammers book.from the book "Hammer's Crucible" miniature book, since that literally was the only other information I had available to me. I wasn't intending on doing the massive tank battles, etc. etc. that David Drake originally intended.But instead of being a tank and combat car based unit, it is more of an airmobile unit, using vectored thrust tanks and infantry to perform their missions. While combat cars are mentioned in the stories, it is not entirely focused on that aspect.2-4 Cavalry Chronology2-4 A New Hope2-4 Operation Rockslide2-4 Another Day In Paradise2-4 Thunder Run2-4 Eagle Hammer2-4 Operation Morning Glory2-4 Rolling Thunder
