On a complete tangent is it true that Australian special forces were
recently authorised to make use of steroids and other performance
enhancing
drugs usually used by athletes (illegally)?

If it is this gives me a vision of the OU police forces shunning power
armour in favour of being doped up to the gills with boosters and pain
killers?  Cheaper than power armour I suppose.

On one other point whats happened to the Indonesian Commonwealth in FT?
I'd nearly forgotten about them but they strike me as being important
minor
players in the overall scheme of things.

I thought he meant Australian nukes - do they have any?  I can't
remember 
if they're a member if the 'club' or not...

Anyway, the idea of having an OUDF specforce that uses biotech instead
of 
PA would be interesting - drag out a few GW minis (suitably musclebound
in 
contrast to the usual SG stuff) and use them.  Or some other slightly 
larger-scale minis.  I think that would add some flavor to the game. 
They 
would have increased move, close combat, maybe armor, to represent 
'toughening'.  Could be justified by the enormous variety of
environments 
that the OUDF would be expected to operate in: tropical jungle, desert, 
aquatic, etc.  A grafted-out SEAL-type might do the trick better than a
PA 
trooper.  Give him gills, and watch out!
