The Imperial Japanese
Navy Aircraft Carrier Taiho. Operation Anubis have
built this light and fast attack carrier. Based on the Shokaku class
but with improvements from leasons learnt this carrier had a large
air group of 72 aircraft and a distinctive island including funnel
angled away from the flight deck.

The Japanese B5N
'Kate' torpedo bomber is new to BG42 for 1.0. As can be seen
from the pictures, the Kate is vunerable to enemy aircraft unless
a A6M2 Zero (DICE model) is on-hand to give cover.
Both these planes have been given a coat of green paint from later
in the war.
A battery of Nebelwerfers
like these provide rapid fire shells across a huge area giving great
cover to advancing troops.
In keeping with on
of the big theme for 1.0 is the reskinning of a whole host of vehicles.
These are some those new skins (from left to right) shown on the
German Panther G, Kubelwagon and
King Tiger.
