Title: Banzai!
Post by: Hertsblue on 26 September 2011, 03:21:09 PM
Finally finished the WW2 Burma Japs. Force amounts to an infantry company reinforced with HMGs and mortars, plus an artillery section of two guns and a pair of light tanks.

Lovely looking stuff - suitably menacing with those officers waving Katana's and infantry with bayonets fixed!

Very nice.  There is a lot of potential in a Japanese army as the kit does not change much - generally late 1930s light  tank and prewar artillery (and yes Ian I am aware of later types, but even the Type 97 was in service in 1938) - anyway I pitched my VBCW forces (posing as Nat Chinese)- very enjoyable game with BKC rules.

Good work - it inspires us all .

Some years ago I heard a radio announcer talking about the potential of Guadalcanal as a tourist detination. Talking about a specific hillside he referred to it "as the the site of a fanatical bonsai charge during WW2"
I immediately visualised a bunch of Japanese charging up a slope all carrying miniature trees in pots.

If nothing else it would surprise the enemy.
