SDR is the winner.

Not me.  The guys who spend all their time and money collecting, making, and painting that stuff are.  I just show up, use their stuff, and feel shame when I accidentally bend or break off a bayonet or some such.  The first pic was just a Google search. The second is from a Vancouver gaming group.  They hold monthly meet ups and have a huge annual gathering in April.

Not that I'm complaining. Because, war hippos.

Yet another conflict that would be fascinating to game but falls enough outside of the mainstream to be unlikely to see. I'm not sure I've even ever seen a board game of this.

High Flying Dice does have a game that covers battles (land and naval) during the Sino-Japanese War.

I think I used to date a War Hippo. Or maybe we just went to a couple of buffets together. Or was that a unit in Tarzan Total War?

I think it's a Jethro Tull album.

Agree with Panzerde.
