Soldiers and Diets

[Colonel_Coo]

Has anyone ever thought that the average Chinese and Japanese soldier in WWII was much shorter in size and lower in weight than their Western counterparts?

If the average US soldier was 5'8" 150lbs and the average Japanese was 5'2" and 110lbs , shouldn't that be reflected in the mini?

oh no... scale? :)

well the Azad guy is small. the Japanese furnished turbins to their short guys and put the tall guys into the Arisaka squad apparently.

Chinese ppl, represented by WOTC/AH seems to suffer from quartering

apparently canadians are viewed as naturally shorter. Oh wait thats just another
scale SNAFU that we could expect from WotC.

Get over it, already!

Back onto the topic of this thread. Show me what 2-3 inches looks like in 15mm scale. Then I'll tell you if it matters.

Indeed, this may be splitting hairs over the difference between a mini that is 15mm tall and one that is 16mm tall. However, if they could do this, it would be sort of cool, I guess.

The Canadian soldier lying down does look like a hobit in fatigues.
