Hi Scott
Happy you like them

It came second again for a Display game
the game that came first was
SOUTH EAST SCOTLAND WARGAMES CLUB
SINO-JAPANESE WAR- 1931 to 1945 using T&T rules
At the time of Pearl Harbour the Chinese had already been fighting the Japanese for over ten years. What had been intended by the Japanese as a war which would bring China to its knees in a few months had developed into a stalemate, and an expensive one at that. In the end, the United States became a firm ally of Chiang Kai-Shek and helped him to defeat the Japanese.
But all this is in the future. Here a Japanese naval force has established a beach-head on Chinese soil and is awaiting reinforcements to allow them to link up with other landing zones to the north and south. Meanwhile, the local Chinese commander is trying to concentrate enough troops to attempt to drive the invaders back into the sea.
