Wind Warriors: limited (250) 50pts
Speed 5, may move 10 inches in the first movement phase once per game without an order. Plus 2 (+2) to hit on assaults.
Armed with rifles and heavy assault charges (+4 power in assault attacks)
Water Warriors: limited (250) 50 points
Also known as Rain Warriors, rain warriors carry the cherry blossom rocket. Once per game, the rain warriors may use this weapon, after which the rockets are spent.
Cherry blossom rocket: ROF 4, range 16, power +3, frangible (After rolling to hit and rolling for damage, each effective hit does one point of armor damage. ONE SHOT WEAPON. Typhoon Attack: Rain and wind warriors attack together, rain warriors supporting a close assault. The rain warriors attack first with a +2 on the to hit roll. Wind warriors are not in danger of any spillover fire.
Land Warriors: 50pts
Also called stone warriors. Each squad has a medium machine gun. The standard infantry type.
MMG: ROF-2, range 20, Power +1 (I have MGs as frangible weapons) Fire Warriors 50 pts
Each stand carries (2) stovepipes
Stovepipe Team: ROF 2, Range 16, Power +3
Each element has an ROF of 2, however, a stovepipe as an individual weapon has an ROF of 1.
Each unit is 4 models on a base, 4 bases comprise a unit (Platoon)
Standard TO&E:
3 units of Earth Warriors, 1 unit of Fire Warriors make a standard company.
Separate platoons of Wind or Water warriors may be attached to a company.
Battalion:
One Platoon Earth Warriors function as HQ
3 Standard Companies
1 Company of 2 platoons of Wind Warriors, 2 platoons of Water warriors
The concept is to provide air-mobile infantry with the firepower to engage Tripods with minimal supports.
I had intended this as my "Japanese" infantry troops, but Japan has already been accounted for.

It does indeed sound very Japanese. Chinese, perhaps? We know little of what they are up to.

I have a "Japanese Army" based on very few types of units and very effective logistics. Madmorgan beat me to the punch, however. Chinese of maybe Korean. Not many BAs badder than the Koreans.

Yes, indeed. The Koreans were such BA's that the Viet Cong did not mess with them.

Which vendors troops do you use for the above? Really like the concept. Makes for a great stand alone or even along side my Jap/Chinese units in the western areas in front of the Rockies. Good stuff.

Maybe some Boxer Rebellion Figures? I think Old Glory carries some in 15mm.

The Japanese fought with French livery in the Boxer Rebellion and WWI (They added their own features.) I would use Old Glory WWI French (ribbet) for the Koreans. The French had a lot of influence in Korea and Indochina.

Yes Scott, there's an excellent line of Old Glory Boxer Rebellion figures at a very reasonable price - packaged for Osprey's "Men Who Would Be King" rules. The only figure they don't seem to have is one for the British Chinese regiment, picture in the rules on one of the plates. Cool looking uniform.
Yes indeed, France in particular shaped a most of the Korea & Indochina region until the 1950s.
