Bolt Action - Japanese Bamboo Spearfighter Squad - EN

Throughout World War Two, Japanese forces were pushed back from the territorial gains they had made in the early stages of the war. With Allied bombing and ground campaigns degrading Japanese industry, the Emperor’s soldiers learned to use whatever materials were available to meet the enemy as firearms and ammunition became increasingly scarce.

This led to Japanese soldiers sacrificing themselves with grenades, performing brave last ‘Banzai’ charges with drawn swords, or using sharpened lengths of bamboo as improvised spears. The fanatical devotion to their Emperor, country and honour led many brave Japanese soldiers to such extremes. Allied troops were both impressed and baffled by such acts of heroism, as the Japanese charge would often meet a swift end under the intense fire of the Allies.

Despite all this, the Japanese soldiers continued to charge. The figures in this boxed set represent a squad of desperate but proud Japanese soldiers in the remnants of their uniforms, tattered and unkempt but not beaten by their situation or probable fate. Banzai!
