Type 2 Ka Mi Platoon (JBX06)

Type 2 Ka-Mi Platoon (JBX06)
Includes five Ki-Ma amphibious tanks.

The Type 2 Ka-Mi amphibious tank was developed for the Japanese Imperial Navy to be used for amphibious operations by the Special Naval Landing Forves (SNLF). It was based on the armament and running gear of the type 95 Ha-Go light tank with a sophisticated system of detachable flotation systems for amphibious operations.

Amphibious
Amphibious vehicles are designed to swim, carrying their passengers across the ocean, rivers or lakes.

Amphibious vehicles treat all Impassable water terrain as Difficult Going instead of Impassable. If Passengers are forced to Dismount for an reason while in Impassable water, they drown and are counted as Destroyed.

One-Man Turret
The turret of the Type 2 Ka-Mi was designed with limited space, leaving the commander to load and fire the main gun.

Any tank with a One-man Turret that moves adds +1 to the score required to hit when shooting with its turret Main Gun. Machine-guns and Flame-throwers do not suffer this penalty. In addition, a tank with a One-man Turret may not fire both the turret Main Gun and the turret machine-gun in the same turn.

 Assembling the Type 2 Ka-Mi
Type 2 Ka Mi Platoon (JBX06) Type 2 Ka Mi Platoon (JBX06) Step 1. Begin assembly of your Type 2 
Ka-Mi by glueing the gun into the turret. Ensure it is flipped the right way. The main gun should be on the right-hand side.
Tip: When referring to left- or right-hand side in regards to a Flames Of War miniature, the orientation is determined as if looking at the vehicle from the rear.
Step 2. Now that the turret is complete we can move onto the hull. Make sure you are putting the correct track on each side. There will be an 'L' or 'R' on the back of each track to determine which side of the hull it should be on.

Step 3. Place the turret into the hull.

Alternatively, you may prefer to glue rare earth magnets into the recess in the hull and to the bottom of the turret. Magnets are a quick and secure way of fixing your turrets to the hulls, but they are a small added expense.

These 1mm x 5mm magnets fit perfectly into the round space in the hull.

Step 4. You have the option of adding a trunk to the engine air intake. If you would like to, simply glue the trunk onto the air intake grill that is located on the rear of the hull. When fitting make sure it is oriented the correct way so the top is level with the ground. Type 2 Ka Mi Platoon (JBX06) Type 2 Ka Mi Platoon (JBX06)
