How about the tanks with rear facing turret machine guns like the Soviet and Japanese tanks that have them.

Are they treated like coax machine guns or can you fire both since they have different fields of fire ?

Assaulted an open top armored car 7+ armor, got 6 hits, rolled a 1 to damage.
Thought it was blown up since it was open top, local rules guru said that a 1 fails to damage.
Friendly game so not worried about it but want to know if it applies to…[Read more]

” …  The Type B’ grenadier infantry squad was composed of 16 men: an NCO (usually a corporal or Go-Cho) armed with a rifle or (rarely) a submachine gun, and 15 riflemen armed with Asikara Type 38 or 39 rifles. Additionally, three riflemen carried the famous knee mortar.  ……[Read more]

The tank hunters depend on whether or not you want the ATR team, you can make the suicide man from the standard infantry unit, I did one with the tank mine on the flagpole and two others with satchel charges.  You’ll want at…[Read more]

The Marines and Japs were pretty easy to get together, many of the figures I used arms with weapons attached, only had problems with the LMG and BAR figures.

With the Soviets you have to attach each arm and the weapon…[Read more]
