Wargaming the Russo Japanse War - Japanese Troops

A little later than previous planned, but the Japanese are under way for the Russo Japanese War Project. The figures are from Tsuba Miniatures a growing range of figures sculpted by Paul Hicks.

The Fist section is complete designed for for the Mud & Blood rules from the Too Fat Lardies, I have decided to provide the Big Man with a Hex Base to separate him from the rest of the section..

 

 

I have also completed 3 shock markers to collate shock points during the games, besides it gives an excellent way of using the causalities and medics from within the range.

 

The figures are dressed in the M1904 Khaki uniform which were issued in Manchuria in June 1904 after the battle of the Yalu River. I used the colour plates within the osprey book on the Russo Japanese War as a guide.
