Like it, but why the hell does nobody do the Shinhoto Chi-Ha instead of the early war one in 28mm? The only half-way decent armored vehicle the sons of Nippon ever fielded should get some play time IMHO. Crap, they could pretty much just release the other turret, it was the biggest change anyhow.

How much is that Chi-Ha in "real" money - about £22.50 + postage 
I could never justify that expence for one tank, I hereby rest my case against 28mm

Oh not for playing, that's FoW or Operation Overlord for me. Just for the army man collection.

There's a lot of things that I don't know about, and that was one of them.
Thanks Stu. It kind of makes sense now... Almost...

This range is so seriously tempting- I love those angular light tanks.
I've read a fair bit on this conflict- pretty dismal and brutal stuff. But lots of wargaming potential, and there is also the later wars between the communists and nationalists, not to mention the "pulp" possibilities.

I really had no idea that the Chinese Nationalists used German equipment.
That's just insane!

Don't think I'd be tempted to start a chinese army, I'd never finish - there must be millions of the buggers
