Very fun looking game, but I would suggest that "Japanese" isn't the best term to use.

Would you mind changing the title as 'Japanese' is considered racist.

Thanks  :)

cheers

Looks like a fun game and I like the looks of the figures.  Gotta get mine painted.  Not to be picky but...isn't that the Army flag those Naval Landing Force fellows are carrying?  The naval flag has the offset sun with rays (disc of the sun is closer to the flag staff).

Great looking game! The war in the Pacific has so much potential for company and below wargaming with the 37mm gun being a dangerous weapon even in 1944!

Really? isn't it just short for Japanese. Like Brits = British?

I've never thought of it that way ever.



Great battle report btw table and miniatures look excellent

Well my high school English teacher yelled at me because she insisted "Yanks" was offensive...so I think the general rule here is: everything is offensive.  lol
