June 2002 - WW2 China

On 16 June 2002 we fought a 20mm Sino-Japanese WW2 battle at Don Melius's house in the South Bay. Don's sand table in his garage was one main attraction; the other was the appearance of special resin castings of rare Japanese engineering AFVs supplied by Don Trengove of U.S. Casts.

I don't recall the scenario. Looking at the photos, I'd guess that armoured elements of the Japanese Imperial Army were attacking 200th Division of the Chinese Nationalist Revolutionary Army. This division was China's first mechanised unit, which deployed Soviet T-26 light tanks effectively against the Japanese.
