The Banzai

[Kool Kat]

Historically it was desperation time for the Japanese, but I'm reading opinions in older threads that it's not such a desperate tactic at all the way it's implemented in CS; is that about right?

If using it, any recommendations on timing? Later in the scenario to keep the opponent guessing or is it just dependent on situation? Is it something you prepare and plan for, or like in real life, put together as a last ditch tactic?

Dave:

As other players have stated... Banzai as implimented in CS Rising Sun... is both unrealistic and gamey. Currently, Japanese players may utilize Banzai multiple times in a scenario... a Japanese leader only has to make a successful morale check (not too difficult with morale levels of 8-9)... and then all troops under his command... become "super" men... attacking at increased odds... ignoring much of the terrain movement restrictions... and usually able to conduct multiple Banzais in a single turn... that literally tears apart defending troops. And... Banzai can then be repeated.... :eek1: throughout the scenario!

So, again as Ed and others have stated... Banzai needs to be removed in Patch 1.05.
