The June-July Theme for the 19th Century Warfare and War-gaming Facebook Group is going to be the Russo-Japanese War of 1904-1905. The previous theme was the Hungarian Revolt of 1848-1849. There will not be a collected pdf with the posts for that one, as I did not do it. There will be one for the Russo-Japanese War of 1904-1905

No, no, no, no no. No!
I have enough on my plate without you causally tossing in the Russo-Japanese war. Do not get me interested in another period!
By the way, if one were to game the Russo-Japanese war, which codes would you use from the Pendraken range?
Pass the port, Arthur.

On figures
Pendraken does have a dedicated range for the RJW. For some variety I guess one could add various Russian codes from WW1, or the Furshaka wearing Russian infantry from 1877. For the Japanese I believe there was a uniform change early in the war from the 1895 style uniform to the new khaki. You could justify having a mix for a representative army.
This is what I've used (to date)
Japanese
Infantry - Russo-Japanese - RJ3 Japanese foot
Artillery - Russo-Japanese - RJ4 Japanese artillery
HMGs - Russo-Japanese - RJ5 Japanese Hotchkiss HMG
Cavalry mounted - South American Pacific War - SAP8 Cavalry, kepi, havelock, carbine
Cavalry dismounted - Russo-Japanese - RJ3 Japanese foot
High command - French WW1 - F16 High command
High command - 1866 Saxon - SA7 Mounted generals
Russians
Infantry - Russo-Turkish - RT2 Russian foot, furashka
Infantry - Russo-Turkish - RT4 Russian foot command
