Give Klas some slack. He is being ruthlessly efficient as ever.https://www.pinterest.jp/pin/572872015076843753/
That all you got? Where's Paul? I'm expecting an analysis of the helmet curves, indicating the period from the first half of December, 1941, when the Imperial Army Helmet Corps redesigned the Type 97 "Chi-Ca-Go" helmet to make it more rain-resistent in the Malayan monsoon season.
C'mon now, Klas, up your game!
Appreciated, Klas. The Pinterest post links back to a Tumblr blog, but no indication of the original source or an exact date, much less the unit engaged. Still trying to figure out which road to Johor Bahru that might have been (I have my suspicions).Pin on WWII - JAPAN

IMHO it does not make a difference where your post is listed as long as you get your answer. If it is so important to you to have it listed in the scenario design section, where I presume it has been moved from to Chit Chat, you could have mentioned the purpose of your question.
Bytimes I have the impression that people elect to be offended.
You posted your question. You received an answer within 13 minutes.
Of course, it remains your decision to determine if the service of this forum is worth your money or not.

Something that may or may not help...
Indeed, it is my suspicion that photo (whether staged or taken during the action) depicts Imperial Guards Division's 5th Regiment attack down the road toward Parit Sulong. Without source or provenance for the photo this remains a suspicion. Thanks for looking and hoping that by the time these scenarios mature we'll have an answer.Trawling the Internet suggests that this image may relate to the action around Parit Sulong on the 18th - 20th January 1942. It has similarities to the images on Wiki of the Australian 2/4th Anti Tank regiment action on the 18th on the Maur - Parit Sulong Road, the straight road, ditches, short white edging posts and type of trees. It could well be on the 20th closer to the Parit Sulong bridge. The vehicles on the left and right edges certainly look like they could have towed an AT gun.
one of my favs. He said he would surrender for a cigarette.That is probably the most candid combat photo of Japanese soldiers I've ever seen. Would be a fine image for a scenario card regardless of which action it depicts. I don't think I've ever seen a picture of Japanese soldiers actually lying down - they are always marching somewhere, or charging with edged weapons for the propaganda photographer.
Lovely photograph. Pity there's no source information.15563[/ATTACH]
This could be the parked vehicles just left of centre of your picture later in the day.
