Used vehicles by the Japanese Army

[Steve]

I’m hoping someone can give me some good news here.  I am waiting for my Japanese Konflict starter set and have not seen the new Konflict Japanese book yet.  In the spirit of bringing the Mouse to the German side is there any work or thought into bringing the Japanese O-I super heavy tank into either Bolt Action or Konflict?

I was looking at a list of armored vehicles used by the Japanese army and found these that the Japanese Army had, that are not in Bolt Action, that I would like to be at least added to the rules as possible for game play:

Assault Guns Self Propelled guns
1943-44  Type 1 Ho-Ni Type II Tank Destroyer
1944-45  Chi-Ha 120mm Naval Gun

Light tanks
1932  Type 92 Jyu-Sokosha
1943  Type 94 Chi-To
1936  T95

Medium Tanks
1938-1943 Chi-Ha type 47 tank
1938-1943 Dug in Chi-Ha type 47 tank
1944  Chi-No (Chi-Nu)
1944  Type 97 Chi-Ha with short 120mm How (Navy Support tank)

Prototypes:
O-I (Super heavy tank)
1944  Chi-So (Armored Personal Carrier)

Any thoughts as to adding these to the game?

Thanks
Steve

Are you looking for permission? If so you have mine. If you want advice on how to stat them out, Bolt Action doesn’t have a very complicated set of vehicle stats. Select a hull DV, select weapons, and maybe add a special rule here or there to better represent the nuances of the vehicle and Bob’s your uncle.
