Project WW2 Pacific Part 5

 Even more Japanese:


Senior leaders and guy with flag (probably to be used as a marker):



Tank killer team:



Third squad:





Infantry gun:



Sniper and extras for the MMG. The sniper is actually a figure from the WW2 Italian range, but he'll be partly covered with foliage to obscure this.



More support options and an additional marker figure (the bugler). The rifle grenade is from the WW2 French infantry box. The historically accurate type 100 Japanese rifle grenade looked too flimsy to scratchbuild myself. The Japanese made ample use of material left behind by retreating or overrun allied forces so who's to say that they didn't pick up some French VB launchers in Indochina.



Spider holes:


And the multi-role engineer team:



Plus one final addition to the Australians: the fuzzy wuzzy angels.


All of the minis are now in my painting queue. Let's hope the Chain of Command Pacific handbook is also forthcoming!
