Chinese 88th Division - 1937

You can't beat an Easter weekend an opportunity to bag a day or two of painting.

With the Chinese Army made up of a number of Warlord factions, some troops are better than others. One of the most famous was the Chinese 88th Division deployed at the battle of Shanghai.

One of Chiang Kai‑shek’s German-trained divisions, they make for an interesting addition to the Chinese forces.

During the 1930s, China cooperated closely with Nazi Germany for military modernisation. The 88th Division was reorganized, trained, and partially equipped following German Army (Wehrmacht) doctrine, including, Modern infantry tactics & Improved discipline and drill.



Perhaps they should be heavy Infantry in the Xenos Rampant tweaks.


They will need some heavy weapons to help keep the Japanese at bay.
