Re: Resistance / Partisans
Agreed there are some great figures for European partisans, but you should try sourcing figures for Dyaks, Chinese or Philippine guerrillas. I can't find a manufacturer that makes any. If anyone knows of a producer I'd appreciate it if they could advise it here. At the moment I'm scratch building ev...

Re: Possible Anti-Tank Rifle amendments
ATR are an interesting subject that received a lot of attention between the wars. Most nations looked at them as a solution to the tank problem for frontline Infantry units and so developed or bought a version. The options came in roughly three variations: Heavy (20mm), Medium (14mm) and Light (8mm)...

Re: Question - national characteristic and leader firing
My two cents worth. I think, RAW, that the JL can direct the LMG and fire his SMG. However, I would not play it this way as directing fire and giving fire control orders usually precludes using your own weapon. One of the reasons that Section/Squad leaders were given SMG was to stop them firing in c...

Re: CoC: Fighting Season Playtesting?
Take a casualty and then mission changes to CASEVAC. That is very true for a lot of armies, not least the Australians. I read a very interesting article by two Israeli LTCOL who addressed just this issue. They examines an incident in Lebanon where a company attack to break into an urban area founder...

Re: Resistance / Partisans
I've done a generic guerrilla list that I adapt for various groups in the Asia-Pacific - specifically China, Philippines, Borneo (Dyaks) and Malaya. None of these get much press in English language literature, but they performed at least as well as the resistance groups in Europe. The thing I found ...

Re: Armored Platoon Command Dice
I agree with TT; the amount of times I've rolled a 6,5,5,5,1,1 when I really needed to activate my troops! I'd be inclined to leave the tank platoon with 5 dice, although I like the idea of reducing the number to reflect lack of radios - a simple mechanic to reflect the difficulties this created for...

Re: Armored Platoon Command Dice
With regard to the Chinese Nationalist Army lists, there are five currently being included plus special rules for the German trained divisions (87th & 88th). Hopefully this will provide your friend with what they are looking for.

Re: Malaya 1942 Campaign Scenario 5 AAR the Pictures!
Sounds like a hard game fought at close quarters. Bayonet fights are always bloody. The Australians seemed a little unfortunate with their shooting and the Japanese were able to capitalize, although at a cost. What was the comparative Force Morale loss between the two sides?

Really nice! They fit in well with the table and add to the scenery.

Re: CoC: Fighting Season Playtesting?
I'd certainly give it a go as well.
