Pacific War

Again a new project: Pacific War. After writing the World at War rule book I am now working on the 1st supplement about the Pacific War.

To provide some fast play test armies I go again the 20 mm road plus the occasional 28 mm mini. I have finished a squad of HäT Gurkhas, 2 Millicast Ha-Gos, 1 SHQ Ho-Ni, 40+ Airfix 1/72 Japanese Army infantry, some Eureka Australian Infantry, IJA Paras, 3 Britannia Stuarts, a Hasegawa Grant and a Company B Te-Ke tankette so far. Unfortunately a little bit later Mongoose decided to not feature any painted minis in the book...

I also have some 15mm Japanese vehicles, that will fit nicely to the upcoming Gear Krieg Shiki combat walkers.

Milicast Japanese Type 4 Light Tank "Ke-Nu"
When the Type 97 "Chi-Ha" was upgraded to the "Shinhoto" variant, the redundant turrets and their armament were fitted to the Type 95 to produce this variant.

Milicast Japanese Type 98 Light Tank
The Type 98 was introduced in late 1942 and differed from the original Type 95 by the substitution of the larger turret from the Type 2 "Ka-Mi" armed with a 47mm gun.

Milicast Japanese Type 2 Ka-Mi Amphibious Tank  
The "Ka-Mi" was intoduced into service in 1942. With a crew of five this Light Amphibious Tank was based on the Type 95 but with a wholly redesigned hull and came with two detatchable sponsons.
When they came ashore the sponsons would be jettisoned and the tank then continued as a normal light gun tank.Used by both the Army and the Marines, they saw considerable action.
