Konflikt ’47 has revealed new Japanese units, adding both heavy firepower and elite infiltration options to its Weird World War range. The latest releases highlight the setting’s mix of alternate-history technology and pulp-inspired warfare.
TL;DR
Konflikt ’47 has unveiled two new Japanese units: the Assault Frame Armoured Infantry Squad and the Ghost Attack Squad. Together, they showcase different sides of Japan’s Weird World War forces.
Assault Frame armoured infantry with heavy weapons
Ghost Attack Squad focused on stealth and disruption
Strong visual contrast between brute force and elite tactics
The Assault Frame Armoured Infantry Squad features heavily equipped soldiers mounted in compact mechanised frames. These suits lean into Konflikt ’47’s dieselpunk aesthetic, blending industrial machinery with infantry-scale combat. Visually, they feel like walking weapons platforms rather than traditional foot troops.
On the other end of the spectrum, the Ghost Attack Squad represents elite Japanese operatives designed for infiltration and surprise strikes. Their lighter gear and dynamic poses suggest speed and precision, making them a sharp contrast to the bulkier Assault Frames.
Together, the two units highlight how varied Konflikt ’47’s Japanese forces can be. One emphasizes raw mechanical power, while the other leans into stealth, mobility, and asymmetric tactics—both hallmarks of the Weird World War genre.
Why It Matters for Skirmish Gamers
For skirmish players, these units naturally slot into smaller, scenario-driven games. Assault Frames work well as elite heavies or objective anchors, while Ghost Attack troops shine in missions focused on ambushes, recon, or hit-and-run actions.
In Gangfight, the Assault Frames can represent heavily armoured specialists or hero-level threats, while the Ghost Attack Squad fits cleanly as stealth-focused operatives or veteran infiltrators. Both units scale down well without losing their narrative punch.
