Chain of Command Japanese Platoon [1]

 

I spent most of today doing other things but I have now sorted out the initial units to base up and paint over the next couple of weeks. This consists of the platoon HQ and a variety of support units including two MMG's, an infantry gun, two sniper teams, an AT rifle team and a Forward Observer team. I've also added a Ha Go light tank, which is just too cool not to tag along for the ride.

 

I thought I'd start with these before moving onto the three large infantry sections and the even larger knee mortar section, which will be put together using the plastic figures with a few metal ones for leaders. I will also try to scrape together some more support units including some engineer teams and, possibly, an AT gun but that really depends on what's left over.
