Flames of War Pacific!
Well it looks like Battlefront has finally pulled the trigger on the Pacific theater. Their July release schedule now shows,
In Shops 20 July
FW304 Rising Sun
JBX01 Hohei Chutai (Infantry Company)
JBX02 Type 89 Chi-Ro Platoon (x5)
JP706 Nikuhaku Teams
In Shops 27 July
JBX03 Type 95 Ha-Go Platoon (x5)
JP702 Hohei Platoon
JP704 Hohei Machine-gun Platoon
Rising Sun is obviously the army book. Type 89/95 are tanks and Nikuhaku is artillery. Looks like they will be extending their invasion and D-Day efforts further than we thought although considering it appears this release focuses on early war we’ll have to see.
The gents over at WWPD knew about this a few weeks ago.
So when will we see Marines?
For both the Pacific and Vietnam we hoped Battlefront would produce co-operative rules with the game engine running the non-Allied side. We’ll keep up some hope maybe as an island invasion supplement or something?

Just for info – The Villagers have the same code as the European villagers released with the first building subscription.
For Battlefront Asian villagers you might want to check out the local resistance teams in the Local Forces company box – VPABX10. Nice figs, but an expensive way to get them. :)
