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
Infantry - Russo-Japanese - RJ1 Russian foot
Infantry - Russian WW1 - RP1 Infantry, tunic, in cap
Infantry - 2nd Afghan War - RA3 Foot, lambskin cap

Artillery - Russo-Japanese - RJ2 Russian artillery

HMG - Russian WW1 - RP2 HMG, tunic, in cap

Cavalry Mounted - Russian WW1 - RP7 Cossack cavalry
Cavalry Mounted - Russian WW1 - RP3 Cavalry, tunic, in cap

Cavalry dismounted - Russian WW1 - RP6 Infantry, greatcoat, fur hat, firing
Cavalry dismounted - Russian WW1 - RP1 Infantry, tunic, in cap

High command - British WW1 - BP22 High command
