What the Hell is an Indian Pattern Carrier? I Never Saw That in Any History Book.
It is no surprise that you haven't seen it in any history books. The Indian Pattern Carriers are simply a horribly unappreciated vehicle of the war. I've been through all the same books you have and quite a few more and until now, the Indian Pattern Carrier seems to have been mentioned in only a half dozen or so books, and in most of those, it was simply mentioned in passing. To make matters worse, several of those references confuse later versions of the carrier with entirely different vehicles. What makes this particularly astonishing is the fact that during World War II, the Indian Pattern Carriers were utilized as propaganda tools. In the U.S., they were used to promote the Lend-Lease program, in Canada, they were referenced in the manual of the truck they were based upon, and elsewhere in the British Empire, they made it into newsreels, where they were popularized as a highly effective vehicle of the Long Range Desert Groups, with the media nicknaming them "The E-Boats of the Desert," referring to Nazi Germany's effective PT-type coastal war boats.
Anyway, the Indian Pattern Carrier was a means of equipping the massive Indian Army with a cheaper, simpler vehicle that could be made in India, rather than relying on efforts to supply India with vehicles made in Britain or Canada, in effect providing them with their own equivalent of the Universal Carrier. It and many other wartime vehicles also demonstrated of how heavily exploited and oppressed the British colonies were, considering indigenous industry in NZ, Australia and India were incapable of mass producing many of the major components of military vehicles they attempted to build.
Along with the 10 page entry for the Indian Pattern Carrier, this book provides 13 pages of coverage for the Bren Light Machine Gun and three pages on the Boys Anti-Tank Rifle, the only two weapons officially deployed on the Indian Pattern Carriers.
It is all topped off by an appendix providing game material compatible with D20 Modern. Currently 31 pages in all, plus the cover. Please note that the appendices are provided as separate files.
Additional appendices with material compatible with Spycraft 2.0 and Savage Worlds will be released in the near future.
4 May 2010: Initial release with D20 Modern appendix.

Nestled among the dark forests of lake country stands a summer camp. It is a place named after an old Indian word; Camp Wicakini. On the shores of Lake Wicakini, the Lake of Ressurection, the camp has stood for decades. However, now something evil walks the woods; something terrible, something...hungry....
In this adventure, the players are shown the surroundings of Camp Wicakini, and they play the parts of the camp counselors. Eight pre-generated characters are available for use, as well as crucial parts of the Zombacalypse book. The adventure is designed to be run using only the Savage Worlds Core Book.
In addition to the eight pre-generated characters, this adventure comes with maps appropriate for the adventure, inventory lists of what's in the camp, and enough information to run the game and yet, in Silver Gryphon style, allow you to make the game your own. The interior, as well as the cover, is richly illustrated by Storn Cook, with the cover colors done by Ben Overmyer. Kevin Rohan supplied additional artwork for the interior.
This tight little adventure with a killer twist makes the perfect game for new players to the Savage Worlds system or for long time veterans. Get into an adventure today!
