My WW2 Japanese are ready for duty in Crossfire. I went for a high priority Type ‘A’ Battalion. Then I added in all the support elements. So I’ve got a massively reinforced Leg Infantry Battalion. Weaker formations, i.e. battalions from a Type ‘B’ Division, Type ‘C’ Division, Mixed Infantry Brigade, or Independent Mixed Brigade, would have less than this.
Second Sino-Japanese War
The “Second Sino-Japanese War”, called the “War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression” in China, was the conflict between the Republic of China and the Empire of Japan in the 1930s and 1940s.
Conventionally the war started with the Marco Polo Bridge Incident (7 July 1937). However, I personally agree with Chinese historians and believe the conflict started with the much earlier Mukden Incident (18 September 1931). This incident was a fabricated pretext for the initial invasion of Manchuria and the first act of aggression by the Japanese against China.
The Second Sino-Japanese War ended on 2 September 1945, with the defeat of Japan in WW2.
15mm Wargaming Figures for Chinese in WW2
When British wargamers think of the Burma Campaign, we think the 14th Army. But the Chinese made an important contribution to the Allied effort in Burma. Eureka Miniatures have a Range of Chinese that covers the Second Sino-Japanese War which overlapped with WW2. I have a quick look at that range then explore other options if you, like me, want even more variety in your 15mm wargaming armies.
