Warlord Games: Japanese 70mm infantry gun



Hi, I just found this new artillery piece from Warlord Games for their Japanese rang. These guns were to provide more punch to the stretched armies of the Emperor who faced the new sherman tanks, the Type 92 is easily recognisable with it’s sliding shield and stub-nosed gun. The gun was extensively used during the Second Sino-Japanese War. It later accompanied units assigned to the Pacific front and was used with considerable effectiveness against Allied forcesthroughout the South Pacific Mandate and in Southeast Asia.This gun and three valiant crewmembers is now available in the webshop for £12.00.

Actually it was not used in the Manchurian incident. The Type 11 70 mm mortar was used. The Type 92 replaced it later on in the 30s.

Cheers,
