Great looking game, as always, Paul. I recognize some of that terrain from the wonderful game you ran earlier in the year for me and Pat - and Stuart. I like that guy in the last photo with the cloth flaps hanging down from his helmet. Best, Dean
ReplyDeleteCheers Dean, these are just stock pictures from an old game I used to illustrate my article. I hope to post last nights battle report up.
DeleteWhats a Force Moral?
ReplyDeleteI am not convinced at the number of submachine guns in the list. The Japanese only had about 10,000 sub machine guns (and the same again for paratroops). Rifles would be the common armament for troops and NCOs. Senior NCOs get a sword. Officers would get a pistol instead of a rifle but if they actually wanted to hurt anyone would get a rifle as well!
Ah I see, moral should be morale.
