I'm embarking on wargaming the Pacific Theater in WWII. First painted for this project is a platoon of late war US Marines. All figures are by Resistant Roosters.
I have begun a general "downscaling" of my WWII stuff, with the European theaters done in 6mm. However, I've recently developed a major interest in the Pacific Theater generally. I figured that since many of the ground battles were infantry centric, I could keep the PTO in 15mm and not break the bank. Some of the terrain can also do double-duty for my plans to eventually do the French Indochina War and US-Vietnam War in 15mm, as well.
Next up on the painting queue are a few more Marines, then Japanese. I'm thinking of Commonwealth forces for Burma/India next, and then US Army for the SW Pacific.
