Absolutely, BOTH ways … getting kicked out in 42, going back in in 44 and 45.

Go Merrill’s Marauders!

Brought my chain of command book on my trip this weekend, the one that wasn’t to historicon, so I can feel all lardy.

I just had breakfast, so I feel lardy too at the moment.

Did the game include Burma’s humidity and heat? 🙂

No, you step outside the convention center for that. 😀

I really like that board. Is this 6´ x 4´? The Burma sourcebook, is that a really juicy one?
The last picture, with the Japanese charging through the shrubbery, great. Are those Warlord miniatures? The universal carrier is a conversion of the Warlord model, right? I recognize the soldier sitting in the back.

The table might have been a little bigger (8×5)?? Definitely 28mm figures. I love the engagement and detailed questions, I just wish we had answers. Often we can’t interrupt the GM mid-turn to interview … they only have 4-6 hours to set up and run the game and often they have up to 10 people at their table.

Fantastic looking table!

I think Lloyd would give that a Blue Ribbon or Trophy….?

I loved the fences by the Japanese infantry.

Great table, great theatre to explore in game too.

Indeed, the CBI Theater (China, Burma, India) is a badly under-represented theater in general, both in history and wargaming.
