New Brigade Games Pacific War releases debuting in the store today and at Historicon this upcoming week.
Sculpted by the incredibly talented Paul Hicks.
FYI - Due to convention cutoff and us packing the trailer for Historicon, these will not ship until after we return from Historicon.
Hi Lon, thank you for sharing this news on the LAF. For the gamers and collectors of the Japanese and USMC this small release will enhance their collections.
The USMC Raiders can now be achieved with these weapons that were unique to them in the early campaigns of the South-West Pacific.
For anyone interested in raising a Raider unit please look at the Osprey Battle Orders "US Special Warfare Units in the Pacific Theater 1941-45" which will provide a breakdown of weapon systems used by the raider platoons.
The Japanese look excellent and will look very nice alongside the other codes currently available.
