Japanese WWII

Waterloo 1815 Japanese WWII troops. Grenade launcher, lunge mine, and observer.

ATR man with loader and observer.

Few plastic Japanese heavy weapons have been on the market and this set really helps beef up their units.

Lunge mine in use against a Soviet T-34 tank. It has a range of the length of the stick.

Half of the Japanese set deployed against a Soviet medium tank. These little guns were in use all during the war. The Japanese had very bad anti-tank defenses. There was little requirement for them against the Chinese and not much tank use on the Pacific islands, except the Philippines.

Japanese at Waterloo?

Waterloo 1815 has a new Japanese WWII set out in soft plastic.

You get two sprues like this with one small 70mm gun. The plastic does not accept glue but the part of the gun fit together perfectly without glue.

Gun and crew of two. There is a third officer figure with binoculars you can add to the crew.

Five parts to make up the gun go together without glue about as fast as you can get the bits off the sprue.

A rifle grenade launcher, a lunge mine and the observer. Lunge mines were shaped charge on a pole. To use one you have to be very dedicated to your work, empathise the dead part. This set will seriously upgrade your Japanese infantry who until now greatly suffered from a lack of heavy weapons.
