Here are some news photo's of my JIA for my Okinawa project, this unit on the photo's is representing the 44th mixed brigade garrisoned on the island during the American invasion. The number of soldiers and bases is based on the rapid fire rookie ruleset.
The unit (battalion ) consist of
- 1 command
- 4 squads of 4 bases (= 32 men)
- 6 heavy weapon bases (3 mortars and 3 machineguns) (= 12 men)
- 1 no retreat marker (just for fun)
Total = 45 men ( 23 bases)
Commanding officer (commandbase) made of a cheap 1/72 plastic cowboyhorse and and esci officer (such as all the soldiers in this unit)
The entire unit on the parade ground soon (after the project is done and painted) they will crawl in the Okinawa tombs and mud.
I hope you enjoyed the picture,
