Another week and an hour a night eats into the Chinese backlog.
The Chinese crew are from Eureka Miniatures with gun salvaged from some WW1 British, the great thing is the Chinese had a mish mash of equipment so the old gun felt like a nice fit.
Next up a Chinese knee mortar, from what limited information is available they were not used in collective platoons as with the Japanese formations so one team it is for the nationalist forces.
Finally a one time only Anti-Tank team - The original suicide squad.
I need to think about how to represent these in Xenos Rampant, perhaps some kind of wild charge when an enemy AFV is in sight?
Well lets see how these units can slow the Japanese advance.
A day on the brushes tomorrow and the last of the Japanese forces.
Some nice additions Stu - the period is reminiscent of BoB/RCW where you can "mix n match" all sorts of weird and wonderful combinations of kit and troop types!
ReplyDeleteCracking progress Stuart. Some important support for the Chinese.
ReplyDeleteNice. That field gun looks great 😃
ReplyDeleteGreat looking additions. I especially like the field gun. Well done.
ReplyDeleteVery nice and useful additions there Stu:).
ReplyDeletePairing Eureka crew figures with a salvaged WW1 British gun is exactly the kind of mix-and-match that makes this period so appealing, and the field gun itself looks great on the table. The knee mortar is a nice contrast too, since it gives the Chinese a different sort of support weapon to work with. I also like your idea of a wild charge for the one-time anti-tank team in Xenos Rampant, as it captures their desperate role without overcomplicating the rules. For a similar step-by-step walkthrough, see this Kick the Buddy guide.
