This post completes the regimental artillery (75mm guns), 81mm mortars and regimental command stands for a Japanese Infantry Division.
The Asymmetric Wargames guns are Tiger Ace 1945 resin prints and Simon´s Soldiers Japanese artillerymen go very well together.
The guns are the Type 38 model and the figures are a mix of both field artillery and anti-tank figures.
I didn´t have around any bigger bases so instead of six figures in a base, each regimental command was divided in two bases, one with officers and flag and the other with telephone and radio operators.
According to witnesses (me, so don´t bet any money on it) this dialogue was real:
- Don´t worry Major Toyota, this will be our last Banzai charge.
- I know Major Suzuki, and our first...
The 81mm mortars will go to the second and third regiments. The Japanese tended to have few medium mortars as they had plenty of knee mortars of 50mm distributed at company level.
Next: the last post on build up of the Japanese Infantry Division with Asymmetric Wargames prime movers and staff cars.
