Introduction
1 Introduction
Welcome to the Japanese Army Guide, the “Victory Decision:
World War II” supplement covering Japanese Infantry and
armoured fighting vehicles of World War II.
The initial “Victory Decision: World War II” book deliberately
covers only four army lists and some vehicles to keep the
rulebook as lean and clean as possible.
The unit stats in this book are consistent with existing units in
other “Victory Decision: World War II” books. The army lists
are divided by the periods in which they can be used.
Victory Decision: World War II divides the conflict into three
periods of time and defines these periods as follows.



Early War: From the outbreak of the war in 1937 to
the end of 1941.
Mid War: 1942 to the end of 1943.
Late War: 1944 to the end of World War II.
file
These deliberate separations also help to balance the
playability of army lists. It is strongly encouraged to only play
within the same time period.

Timeline of Major Battles of the Pacific War
2 Timeline of Major Battles of the Pacific War
The following is a brief overview of the major engagements fought in the Pacific during World War II. Please keep
in mind that it is not always presented in chronological order and only a brief overview.
The Pacific War was a part of World War II that took place in the Far East, the Pacific Ocean and its islands. The
conflict started as early as July 7, 1937 with the Japanese invasion of China and ended de facto in August 1945
with the Atomic bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
The Rape of Nanking
The 1931 Japanese invasion and
occupation of Manchuria led to a series of
skirmishes with China’s imperialistic
neighbour which suddenly became a fullscale war when Japanese forces invaded
and conquered large parts of China in
1937. In the same year, marauding
Japanese troops began what has become
known as the Rape of Nanking, killing
many thousands of Chinese civilians.
le
file
Between 1938 and 1941 the Chinese
continued to fight. By 1939, as war started
in Europe, China had been fighting a
forgotten war for eight years. There were
more than 2,000,000 Chinese casualties,
widespread disease and famine. The
Japanese declared China conquered, but the reality was that neither side could gain an upper hand.
mp
Pearl Harbour and the Imperial Victory in the South
Sa
The most decisive actions from a western point of view
were fought after the Empire of Japan attacked the US
Navy at Pearl Harbour on December 7, 1941.
Almost simultaneously Japanese forces attacked the
British crown colony of Hong Kong, the Dutch East Indies,
and the Philippines. Japan also used its bases in French
Indochina to invade Thailand, and then used the gained
territory to launch an assault against Malaya.
The British Commonwealth forces were unable to provide
much resistance to the battle-hardened Japanese. The
Allies suffered disastrous defeats in the first six months of
the war.
The Burma Campaign
In January 1942 Japan pushed toward India by invading Burma.
A long and brutal campaign in horrible terrain began. After initial
defeats Indian, Gurkha, Chinese, US and British troops
eventually overcome the Japanese, who lost two third of their
soldiers in Burma.
Coral Sea and Midway
The naval victories at Coral Sea and the “Wonder of Midway”
opened the Pacific for the US offensive in 1942.
New Guinea and the Solomons
In 1942 the Imperial Japanese Army continued to advance in
New Guinea and the Solomon Islands. A few Australian reserve
battalions fought a stubborn rear-guard action in New Guinea.
In early September 1942, Japanese marines attacked an
Australian Air Force base at Milne Bay. They were beaten back
6
Timeline of Major Battles of the Pacific War
by the Australian Army, which inflicted the first outright defeat on Japanese ground forces since 1939. The whole
horrible campaign was marked by starvation and disease.
Guadalcanal
At the same time as major battles raged in New Guinea, Allied forces identified a Japanese airfield under
construction at Guadalcanal. The so called “victory disease” of the over confident Japanese Leadership allowed
the US to build up their forces and to make a massive amphibious landing and eventually win the island in
February 1943. It was the first US victory on the ground; the enemy could be defeated after all!
Island Hopping - Allied offensives
Beginning with Tarawa, where U.S. Marines sustained high casualties when they overwhelmed the 4,500-strong
Japanese garrison, the Americans conducted amphibious landings over and over again all across the Pacific. The
process enabled the US forces to improve the techniques of amphibious landings, learning from their mistakes
and implementing changes such as thorough pre-emptive bombardment and bombing, careful planning regarding
tides and landing craft schedules and an overall better coordination. The following battles on the Marshall Islands,
the Marianas, Saipan and Peleliu were all deadly fights. Wherever the Americans landed the Japanese were
defeated despite their fanatical resolve and determination.
The Philippines were re-conquered, on Guam, Iwo Jima and Okinawa major battles were fought. In all these
engagements the loss of combatants and civilians alike stunned Military and Civilian leadership.
The Atomic Bomb and the End of the War
file
These hard-fought battles on the Japanese home islands
with the resulting horrific casualties on both sides and the
projected casualties of an actual invasion of Japan itself led
to the deployment of the Atomic Bomb.
mp
le
On August 6, 1945, the Enola Gay - a modified B-29
Bomber - dropped the first Atomic Bomb on the Japanese
city of Hiroshima; the first nuclear attack in the history of
mankind. Only three days later another one was dropped on
Nagasaki. More than 240,000 people died as a direct result
of these two bombings. The Empire of Japan was forced to
surrender to the Allies.
Sa
On September 2, 1945 the formal surrender of Japanese
forces was signed on the USS Missouri – the war in the
Pacific was finally over.

Japanese Tank Designations
Most of the tanks used by the Imperial Japanese Army during the 1930s and 1940s were identified by the
following designation system. It was used to identify all Army equipment, and consisted of a type number based
on the imperial year that the item was accepted. Before 1945 three systems of dating a year were in use in Japan:

the Anno Domini system,

the era name based on the reigning years of the current emperor, and

the imperial year, counting from the then accepted foundation of Japan in 660 BC.
In 1873 the Gregorian calendar was adopted, and the Japanese New Year was moved to 1 January. This lined up
the western and Imperial year systems, so that 1940 AD became Imperial year 2600.
Up until 1940/2600 the accepted practise was to use the last two numbers of the year as a type number, as in the
Type 89 medium tank of 1929, with Type 100 for items accepted in 1940. After 1940 only the last digit was used,
so Type 2 equipment was accepted in 1942.

The soldiers of the Imperial Japanese
Army (IJA) demonstrated remarkable feats
of arms in the opening stages of the Pacific
War against the Western powers in Asia.
They adapted quickly to the techniques of
jungle warfare, despite the fact such terrain
was very different from their homeland.
The Japanese Air Force ruled the skies,
while the Navy transported the Army and
provided covering fire wherever the IJA
landed.
However, the tsunami they unleashed
could not be sustained.
The destruction of the Imperial Japanese
Navy rendered the Army almost immobile.
The early advantages of air supremacy
quickly vanished. In the Far East, they
were faced by a collection of nations who
had proven the Rising Sun was not
invincible. In the Pacific the Japanese military was reduced to fighting a series of delaying actions; Japanese held
territory was captured island by island, each marking another milestone on the US Marine Corps drive towards
the Japanese Home Islands.
Still the average Japanese soldier continued to stay and fight at his post with fearsome dedication and suicidal
bravery. There are countless tales of Japanese soldiers stubbornly refusing to evacuate strongpoints or caves,
despite being outnumbered, out of supplies and ammunition.
Sa
mp
Note: Most information about Japanese unit organisation was compiled by British, American (WW II US Army
Handbook on Japanese Military Forces) and Australian intelligence using information gathered from multiple
sources. The vagueness of real detail on Japanese organisation is still evident.
There is – for example – still no clear depiction of how many men were allocated to support weapons. There are
also several references to the Rifle Squad that includes two snipers, probably marksmen with standard rifles to
undertake harassing fire.
Since I am definitely not in a position to say what is true or not, you will simply find more options to modify your
unit numbers than in other army lists.
The Allies classified Japanese Infantry Formations into three types, Type-A, Type-B and Type-C.
Type-A was the strengthened version found in China and Manchuria. This type of Formation was probably never
faced by the British and Commonwealth troops in Burma or by the Americans in the Pacific.
The Type–B or Standard Japanese Infantry Division was encountered the most in the Far East and the Pacific.
Type-C was Garrison Divisions stationed in China and are not covered separately in this book.
The Type-A and B Formations can be fielded by using the following Organisation Chart.

Improved Tank Tactics
The Japanese tank divisions learned the
hard way that their tanks were no match for
the allied Lee, Matilda or Sherman tanks. From Mid War on Japanese tanks would try to conceal themselves in
ravines, broken ground or amongst vegetation.
Up to 1D3 Assault Guns, Tank Destroyers and Tanks (see 11 Assault Guns and Tank Destroyer and 12 Tanks)
per force may benefit from the Ambush Ability for + 50 points. Roll before the battle how many vehicles have this

Bushido: Japanese Officers could have a very dramatic effect on their soldiers. Japanese units with the
Command Ability may perform the following additional special actions:
a – Bushido Regroup Unit
Leading by example the Lieutenant can awake the spirit of Bushido into every Japanese Combat Element
within Leadership Distance of him. This works exactly as the standard Regroup Unit Command action;
however - if the commanding unit rolls under its Leadership characteristic the Shaken unit may remove ALL
Suppression Markers.
b – Banzai Charge
Furthermore, he may gather up to one Japanese Combat Elements within Leadership Distance of him to
declare a Banzai Charge against any visible enemy unit.
10
Imperial Japanese Army Infantry Platoon – HQ Element
The Banzai Charging unit will make a determined effort to kill the chosen foe of the empire or die attempting.
A Banzai Charge then moves and fights as a single unit as long as the Lieutenant is alive and all remain
within Leadership Distance of him. All units participating in the Banzai Charge immediately discard all
Suppression Markers, even shaken units become unshaken to regain their honour.
The Banzai Charging unit must now use all their actions to reach their chosen target as quickly as possible,
only Move, Assault and later Close Combat actions are allowed. The unit must move as fast as they can.
Units making a Banzai Charge will NOT receive Suppression Markers when they come under fire or take
casualties; they are simply too focussed to kill their enemies.
All models in a Banzai Charge add +1” to their Move and +1 to their Close Combat Characteristic and are
immune to the effects of Suppression.
The Banzai Charge only ends if all the enemy models in the target unit are dead or all the models
participating in the Banzai Charge are dead. If any model who participated in the Banzai Charge is out of the
Leadership Distance of its original unit leader, then the model must use all subsequent Movement actions to
get into Coherency as normal.
Pole Mine: Use the Pole Mine like a Shoot Action with a very short range. Any vehicle in range may be attacked,
ignore all cover or broken LoS. The soldier using the Pole Mine is removed from the battlefield after the attack on
a D6 roll of 3+.
