A flames of War: Pacific Theatre submission for today. I finished up some Japanese and US Marines in 15mm. These minis are are from Battlefront and were actually nicely cast. No plastics all metals and resin tanks.
First up a Japanese infantry platoon. I really like playing the Japanese in FOW. Its a list that will not win tournaments but every game you're in it to the end. This unit has 54 figures in total.
A second Japanese infantry platoon and, you guessed it another 54 figures. The platoons light mortars can really be useful in the right moments.
Two support platoons in the form of a 47mm AT gun section and a heavy machine gun platoon. The At unit has 11 figures and 2 guns while the MG unit has 15 figures and I'm taking no points for the machine guns.
A light tank platoon in the form of 5 Type 95 Ha-Go tanks.
and finally 2 command stands for the infantry company. I'm not all that thrilled with the flag....
Next up is the start of my US marine force - a basic infantry platoon with 42 figures and two LVT's
A marine engineer assault section with 27 figures
and lastly an amphibious tank platoon.
Lets see that totals to

Inf Platoon 1 54 figures

MG Platoon 15 figs
AT Platoon 11 figs / 2 guns
Command Stands 6 figures
Tanks 5 vehicles
Japanese Total 318 points
Marines
Infantry 42+27=69 figures

Marine Points 168 points
Total points 486 points

I find that with submissions like this I have a difficult time focusing on anything in particular, so I will only say: Cripes! Miles! You're a [bleeping] painting machine! Seriously, I'm always struck dumb by what people like you, Dave, Martin, Tamsin, etc. can generate in a short period of time. It's truly astounding.
Lovely horde of South Pacific warfighters, Mr. Reidy. I look forward to seeing how you get on with the Marines. Enough said.
486 points it is. Yeesh.
Another Miles point bomb - cracking work from the Monday Mathemagicominion :)
