German ranks

[chuckfourth]

Hi Marek
Please see my previous post but the Japs had just as much artillery as everyone else. German infantry divisions didnt have any trucks they used horses but you dont call them light?
The problem for Japan at Milne Bay and guadalcanal wasnt the TOE of Japanese infantry divisions it was supply. The Americans controlled the sea and the Japanese had to make do with whatever didnt get sunk. Mine bay was attacked by litle more than a battalion there were 4500 australians there already, and at guadalcanal the Japanese never got much past regimental size attacking a division. In both cases they were attacking a well supplied numerically superior enemy, these were both battles of supply (The Japs had none) not of "how to".
Best Regards Chuck.
