Burma July, 1945

A British and American Airborne force has dropped into a position to demolish a Japanese Divisional HQ.

With Australian Armor support, they begin to hit Japanese.

In the first round, the Japanese poured a withering amount of fire onto the Allies. They took out a Frog tank, the first one fielded by me in a game,
The Australians move their tanks out of the line of fire. The American Airborne hit a Japanese battalion hard.

The British Airborne hit back hard, destroying a barracks, and taking a trench line. They also take out a Japanese 75mm gun position. The RA gun failed to fire on this first turn.

The Royal Marines will soon add their own firepower.

Pictures to follow.

On the Second turn, the Japanese ripped into the Australian armor, destroying everyone of their tanks. Its amazing what a Japanese soldier can do with a grenade.

Operation Market Garden: American Airborne

I'm not a big fan of doing American units for any wargamming. However, they do have some amazing kit, so I have troops done up for Market Garden, and I also will use these as generic NATO for my Cold War games.


 These ESCI figures I bought at Maritime Hobbies and Crafts in Halifax, Nova Scotia.
The Mohawk character will become some character for a Cold War event, perhaps, ala Red Dawn.

Lots of semi-automatic weapons to give them some added firepower.







The other US Airborne I have include




Mr. Mohawk will become another addition to my Cold War Red Dawn kit.




The .30 CAL MMG gives good fire support.
For weapons support, I have these jeeps and 57mm guns




For the actions in Bastonge, I have these figures



These American troops are in cold weather kit, and I have some painted up for Korean War, but will refurbish them as generic NATO for early to mid Cold War.

These mortars and .50cal HMGs are good fire support as well.
