The Japanese forces were as expected, largely infantry based with their standard knee mortars in their 4 rifle company battalions. They also had a large number of tanks but these were largely Ha-Go or I-Go tanks and struggled against the Soviet Armoured Cars, which mounted an effective 45mm gun.
Most of the figures are Early War Miniatures, with a variety of manufacturers for the vehicles including IBG, 172scale.com, BPM. The mules are Raventhorpe with additional 'bits' to tell them apart from each other.
