Bolt Action: Japanese Army Infantry Platoon

Original price was: £37.00.Current price is: £29.60.

Build a force of the Emperor’s fanatically loyal troops and campaign through some of the most brutal battles of WWII.

The Imperial Japanese Army would call upon nearly five and a half million men across World War Two. Though many would be conscripts, they would be well-trained, highly motivated, and highly disciplined. Their aggressive tactics saw them capable of striking swiftly and relentlessly, and they displayed a fanatical will to keep fighting, even in the face of an ultimately unassailable adversary.

This box contains 30 infantry models allowing you to build a huge variety of Japanese infantry units. On each sprue, you’ll find a wide range of weaponry, including Type 99 Arisaka Rifles, a Type 99 LMGs, a Type 89 Grenade Dischargers (also known as ‘knee mortars’), lunge mines, swords, and more besides. There’s also a Type 92 Machine Gun enabling you to represent a Medium Machine Gun Team (we’ve included a trio of 60mm bases to help with such an endeavour!), and plenty of extra pieces to customise your troops further. Most crucially a variety of heads and gear is included that allow you to represent not only troops of the Imperial Japanese Army, but also those of the Special Naval Landing Forces, or Veteran Jungle Fighters and take advantage of the Yamato Damashii special rule!

    , ,
    Start your island-hopping campaign and make ready to wage World War II on your tabletop! The battles of World War Two ravaged the entire world. Where the Band of Brothers starter set is very much concerned with the European Theatre in the wake of D-Day, Island Assault! shifts focus to the Pacific, pitting the United States Marine Corps against Japanese Island defenders in some of the most brutal and hard-fought battles of the War. Island Assault! is one of the best ways to jump into Bolt Action, whether you're a newcomer to wargaming or a hardened veteran of many a tabletop campaign. Inside this box you'll find two opposing forces in highly detailed plastic. Twelve infantrymen of the United States Marines Corps (USMC) supported by an M3A1 half-track face off against twelve Japanese infantrymen and the threat of a Chi-Ha tank. Also included is a double-sided battle mat, and MDF scenery themed to the theatre to set the scene. In the box, you’ll find a QR code. Simply scan it, and it will take you to the Bolt Action website, where you’ll find a free downloadable Bolt Action Field Manual. This incredibly useful document takes you through every stage of the hobby with simple, easy-to-follow instructions. Learn how to build your new models, then take them straight into the action! Through a series of fun, introductory missions, you’ll familiarise yourself with the key mechanics of Bolt Action. In no time at all, you’ll be leading your forces into battle! Once you’ve played through the introductory missions, you’ll be ready to dive into the full A5 Bolt Action rulebook in the set, and from there the possibilities are endless!

    Bolt Action: Japanese Type 91 So-Mo Armoured Car

    , ,
    Also referred to as the Type 91 broad-gauge railroad tractor, the So-Mo has the unusual distinction of being able to quickly switch from road to rail. The So-Mo could achieve speeds of around 25 miles per hour on roads and almost twice that on railroads. Fielded by both the Imperial Japanese Army and the SNLF during World War II, the six-wheel-drive So-Mo also served in the 1937 Japanese invasion of China. The vehicle did not have integral weapons, but the crew often carried a 7.7mm machine gun that was fired through the observation ports in the turret. Despite its light LMG armament, the So-Mo provides a relatively inexpensive armoured car for a Japanese force, which has the dual benefit of being able to transport six infantrymen across the battlefield. It is particularly useful if the battlefield contains any railroads! Box contains one resin & metal Type 91 So-Mo Armoured Car in its road configuration, decal sheet, and vehicle damage markers.
