Over the Wire #17: The Imperial Japanese Army

chriscassino — Mon, 16 Aug 2010 22:30:45 +0000

Welcome to the first army list from our upcoming Pacific War expansion. The rules in this issue cover the Imperial Japanese Army. This list is well past the beta testing phase, but we are still very interested in what players think about the mechanics and play style of the Japanese in AE-WWII. We hope you have as much fun trying these guys out as we did writing and play testing them.

Cheers,

This weeks Weird War Wednesday is another one for the Soviet players.

Here are the staff painted Soviet PSI Cannon team. The team is slated to be released in April.

The first image is of the multi-part PSI Cannon miniature. This allows you to swap out his head and also equip any of your Soviet miniatures with the PSI Cannon.

This second miniature is the single part PSI Cannon with an interchangeable head so you can choose which head you would like him to have but still save the time of not having to assemble two miniatures.

This team was designed after listening to what the fans have said they would like to see in the AE line of miniatures. The ability to have multi part miniatures and also more single part figs.

Thanks to everyone for the feedback and keep it coming.
