Japanese in Manchuria
« on: August 06, 2009, 12:00:12 PM »
This is on the Gentlemens Wargames Parlour, but deserves a further audience I think

Good stuff indeed.

Manchuria's kind of cool because, in addition to the use of virtually every Japanese weapon in the inventory at the time, many were still wearing the M1930 uniforms with "Cherry Blossom" adrian helmets. I've always liked that uniform. I plan to do some in the Shanghai range soon. Anyway, it's a great (and totally under appreciated) conflict to game. Endless possibilities there.

Picked this up from the Axis History forum, a little later than the 1930's but still relevent I think, set mostly in 1944 showing the New Fourth Army and in particular the 8th Route Army which made up the Communist part of the resistance to the Japanese.

There is an add before each episode starts, its in Chinese of course. The most action scenes are in episodes 3,4,11 & 12
