On the workbench Imperial Japanese Army Support units

Thats the Imperial Japanese Army force for Burma 44-45 done with a few support options Reconaissance and anti tank defences. I may invest in some Chi_Ha  tanks but first some games!

 Advancing with a foot patrol and sniper



Close up of a spider hole. I made several of these out of the extra miniatures from the platoon. They have either Type 99 LMG or the Type 97 20mm AT rifle  which I had a few spare. Liberally scattered around the battlefield should give a nasty surprise to pass allied infantry or armour.   


 I have made 6 camouflaged spider holes
 Two three man improvised Antitank teams. Antitank mines on a bamboo pole

 Another team stalk a Grant tank

 A 50mm grenade launcher battery for local support
