Bolt Action Japanese 1000pts army

This is my list to 995 pts

So, my old grey haired officer, Lieutenant Kendo Nagasaki, remembered his training days and when told he had to hold this island he wanted something familiar and, in his eyes, wanted to lead his men in the tried and tested way Japan was fighting and winning wars in his youth. At his own expense, and against all advice, he managed to get his FT17 tankette and embraced it as an old friend. (OK he is a throw back, but that wasn’t that uncommon or beyond the realms.)

List wise – I started with my Type 4 Ho-Ro gun carriage and my FT17 with the points and rules from the China list. I decided to go max on the additional miniatures allowed per unit with my two reinforced platoon required infantry units. Then i remembered I had brought 10 jungle fighter metal minis, so they became a 10 man Veteran Squad.

The 3 light mortars in a squad interests me mechanics wise. I am still unsure how to hobby these or how to use them tactically for the best, but I always like to lean into faction specific rules to get the flavor the designers intended.

I already have everything purchased that I need so it is just a case of making my way through the hobby task a bit at a time.
