Medic-Regular

Regular IJA squad
Nco-Smg
10 riflemen
Lmg

Regular IJA squad
Nco-Smg
9 riflemen
Lmg

Grenadier Squad
Nco
4 riflemen
2 light mortars

70mm infantry gun (light howitzer)

an thats 500

so what are you guys running?

I just have the 500pt British Airborne Army starter set from Warlord.

Unit	Points
Second Lieutenant & two extra Paratroopers	91
Airborne Section (5) SMG x 2, LMG	96
Airborne Section (5) SMG x 2	76
Vickers MMG	65
Piat Team	52
75mm Light Pack Howitzer	66
2" Light Mortar	46
Total	492

I may replace a few of the models with some of the other variants available - as the pack contents are variable and I could do with a more obvious light mortar and HQ. With hindsight I'd probably have chosen to buy some of the units individually for more control over the exact figures.

Next purchase will be a few more units to bulk these out, and I'll make a start on assembling a Chindit/Gurkha force.

Found a great little army builder for bolt action
