Will Japanese soldiers fight to the end?

[zovs66]

In the 2019 patch/upgrade there are quite a few scenarios that pit either the US or the USMC against the Japanese, they are hard to fight against but not impossible. Use tactics that Andy suggested above. I'll have a small (2-3 companies for the USMC vs. 3-6 from the Japanese) on Guadalcanal around Alligator Creek in a 4-5 Mini-CG out in 3-4 weeks if you'd like to test that out.

Here is the USMC (I recommend playing as USMC against the Japanese until you're ready for a challenge, then take the USA, Russia or GB, ANAZC) as player one for 2019 (via the default sql query supplied, I can provide more info later):

ScenarioID	Title
499 		Wilkes Island, Wake, 12/41
500		Tanambogo Islet, 8/44
50 		Into The Valley 10/42
512 		Lambeti Plantation 6/43
625		Raider Ridge 6/43
49 		Stark and Bitter Hours 11/43
492 		Tarawa Atoll, 11/43
513 		Tarawa's Crimson Tides 11/43
73 		Return to Guam 7/44
501 		Guam, Marianas, 7/44
401 		Peleliu #1, D-Day 9/44
402 		Peleliu #2, D-Day 9/44
403 		Peleliu #3, D-Day 9/44
404 		Peleliu #4, D+1,  9/44
405 		Peleliu #5, D+1   9/44
502 		The 1,000 Yard Stare 10/44
503 		Split Down the Middle 10/44
63 		Iwo Jima: First Ashore 2/45
64 		Iwo Jima: Sever The Head 2/45
65 		Iwo Jima: Take Suribachi 2/45
66 		Iwo Jima: The Meat Grinder 2/45
457 		Iwo Jima  D-Day 2/1945
495 		A Common Virtue, 2/45
518 		Charlie Dog Ridge, 2/45
67 		Iwo Jima:  Last Gasp 3/45

And these are all the ones where the USMC is defending (or player two):
ScenarioID Title

498 		Wake Island, 12/41
691		The Rock 5/42
39 		Bloody Ridge 10/42
516 		Matanikau, Guadalcanal, 10/42
386 		Bougainville 11/43
400 		Tarawa, 11/43
490 		Solomon Blues, 11/43

Personally I think that 625 and 691 would be good USMC vs. Japan scenarios but I am biased since I created them

Attached is all the scenarios (in the 2019 patch up to 3/27/2019) where Japan is player two.
