I'll go Jap too, I may not have black hair, but at least I'm thin enough lol.
grecian 2000 or just for men barrie, be spot on then ... glad I didn't reply earlier I though Annes post was Barries its like having a conversation with someone with split personalities
Even though I already have Brit far east kit, the jap kit is very tempting!
ARGH!!!
I know im torn between the two
I thin rich as ambassadors of far east we should do jap to get the ball rolling!
TFSS can supply the chindits!
"I think we are in rats' alley - Where the dead men lost their bones."
its certainly an idea!
Well I think I'll stick with British, I doubt I could pull off a convincing Jap impression, unless of course there were any ex sumo wrestlers in the japenese army
As to the timing of the game I've had a look at the events calender and apart from the first weekend in August there's nothing planned for August and September, I don't know if it would be feasable to sort something out during that period?
I told Barrie not to type the comment above but he said - "I'm not saying anyone else is fat, just that I'm thin enough to be Japanese".
So sorry Kav, it wasn't personal. I do love your picture though, very amusing.

Haha, just banter B&A, wasn't angry, just looking for an excuse to post that pic!
Just found this while browsing the net, thought it might be of interest if you're thinking of turning japanese http://www.diggerhistory3.info/japan/
Hmmm interesting... no SMGs at all.
Rifle Section: 13 men with 13 rifles and an LMG
I can see some captured weapons being used here...
Well they only produced about 10,000 SMGs throughout the entire war so I guess you would have to have been very lucky to get one. We'll have to make do with a shippment of weapons curtousy of the Kriegmarine. I think they did actually ship a small number of Mp40s to Japan via U-boat, along with a few other bits like Bf 109s.
Looks like this is going from pipe dream to relaity.
Ok chaps I want to give folk enough run up to get kit at a leisurely pace.
When would be a sensible time to host this game in your opinion bearing in mind were tlaking about playing in jungle kit in the uk?
Would next summer (as in june 2009) be to far away.
Sounds Perfect to me that would give everyone enough time to create convincing kit, my money is all tied up for this year so having it in summer next year would work great for me.
dam and bugger, i,v mist this thread, sounds grate lads,
not a punt, but i,v a costomer in the phillipeans that has a bren and has allso resently commisiond a type 100 smg, so if all go,s well i,l do two and join the imps for this well perhaps
team shoot and scoot, TL
Thread here on the US forums about putting together a jap impression for $100!
