A bit more Pacific themed Flames of War stuff this week. First up is a platoon of 3 Ho Ro Japanese assault guns. These tanks have paper this armor but do mount a 150mm gun for a bit of a punch.
Next is a US Marine AT gun unit with 4 37mm guns/crews, 3 bazooka teams and a HQ.
Lastly - a second US Marine Infantry platoon to go with the one completed last week.
A group shot of all the FOW Pacific stuff completed to date. I have a few odds and end to finish up but this will be the bulk of what gets painted this year.
Lets see - the tally is:
3 Tanks for 18 points
AT Gun Platoon has 25 figures plus 4 guns which nets 66 points
Marine Infantry Platoon has 42 figures and comes to 84 points
Total: 168 points
This submission plus this weeks bonus round should but just a few points ahead of last years final tally with two weeks to go. I wonder if I have any surprises up my sleeve?

Nice work. I have an unusual bomb for Monday and we will see how the run in goes. I fully expect to be pipped at the post again as Miles submits the entire Japanese Imperial Army in 28mm on the last day
ReplyDeleteHaha! So true... ;)
DeleteNice work!
ReplyDeleteTerrific work Miles! Those assault guns are very interesting. I did not know that the Japanese had these as part of their arsenal.
ReplyDeleteNicely done!
ReplyDeleteLooking good Miles - a great collection for a rarely gamed theatre
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comments
ReplyDeleteCool stuff Miles. I particularly like the Ho Ro assault guns.
ReplyDeleteAlways contemplated FOW pacific but I did not even get to game a single game of the 3rd edition and now we have 4th oh well still got some Aussies and Japanese floating around, not as nice as yours thought.
ReplyDeleteLovely looking Pacific war types, I also wasn't aware of the 150mm self propelled gun, very nice.
ReplyDeleteBest Iain
Quite an accomplishment, and a very nice collection.

ReplyDeleteThe PTO is shapping up very well, Miles! I still ca't get over that table it is almost as nice as the camouflage on the Japanese tanks! ;)
