Manchuria 1945

I'm planning on another game of TacWWII this weekend with a solo play-though of Bob Mackenzie's Approach to Mutanchiang scenario. Here's the setup.


Conversion from Bob's Command Decision scenario to TacWWII reduces the table size from 8'x4' to 4'x2'; small enough to fit on the plan chest in my workshop.

The village of Ssutaoling is the only built-up area on the map. I decided to represent it with a little homemade village module:


It's one of three I made from modelling clay when one of Mark Bevis's articles in the SOTCW Journal required some Korean villages. That must be about thirty years ago!

Funnily enough, David Glantz's book on the Manchurian Campaign is on special offer on Amazon atm.

I actually have both volumes after a business trip to London years ago allowed for a visit to Foyle's. I can't remember if I was feeling particularly financially stable at the time or if I just needed the retail therapy!
