Satellite observations had picked up the task force hours ago, but the extra preparation time had done little to reassure the defenders of the small Northern outpost. They looked with apprehension at the dust cloud that was forming on the horizon, and turned their sensors toward the incoming enemy force.
Rows after rows of armored tanks and Gears were on the march, crossing the desert in a gigantic line that extended as far as the eye could see on either sides. Menacing weapons gleamed in the late afternoon sun, and the distant rumble of a thousand engines could now be heard in the distance.
The Southern MILICIA is on the move — better hope you are not in their path.
MILICIA is an acronym which stands for MILitary Intervention/Counter-Insurgency Army. The Southern MILICIA recruits troops from all four Southern leagues; they are used to staff border outpost and perform counter-insurgency duty in the three vassal leagues. Most importantly, they spearhead the fighting against the South’s enemies, taking the fight to protect their own across Terra Nova.
The Southern MILICIA Army List provides Heavy Gear tactical Players with all the information they need to run battles featuring the MILICIA and to build their own MILICIA units.
