Description
Granted access to the mass of Axis Rift-tech development, Japanese scientists were able to make significant advances in new areas of technology. One such field was that of exoskeletons intended to enhance the endurance and speed of the fighting soldier. This rapidly led to the development of armoured battle-exoskeletons that were first deployed by the Imperial Japanese Army in mid-1946. These ‘battle-frames’ enable the wearer to move freely whilst carrying heavier loads and some protective armour.
Mounting either an SMG or a Shiboru rifle, most squads also utilise LMGs for additional firepower, or their own version of the German Panzerschreck to counter enemy armour.
This set includes enough models to field two units, armed with a variety of weapon options including Shiboru Rifles - if taken this will mean the unit generates one Rift die. Note: this product was previously known as Japanese Battle Exoskeleton Squad.
