Japan Scouts
Reconnaissance regiment (Sōsaku-rentai or Sōsaku-tai), was the type of unit derived from Cavalry regiment, tasked with combat scouting. These regiments were attached to the large number of the Japanese divisions. Reconnaissance regiments were a small-scale units, comprising about 500 men in total. Therefore, they did not have battalions in structure, and were usually commanded by Major instead of Colonel as was typical for infantry regiment. About one platoon was normally attached to each battalion wing for duty as messengers and orderlies. The remainder was divided for battalion flank protection with the bulk on the decisive flank. As the strength of the division cavalry regiment was light, the combat value was not as great as might be expected.
The Japanese military commanders were frequently challenged with situations requiring reconnaissance, rapid messages transfer and using the advantages of the maneuver warfare. Such tasks in Japanese army were regularly performed by cavalry regiments. Although in Japan was observed a long retention of cavalry regiments and battalions, in 1937-1938 the initial batch of seven Sōsaku-tai (reconnaissance regiments) was introduced into the army of Japan. These were renamed as Sōsaku-rentai during the great army reorganization leading to Pacific War. Since 1940, the existing cavalry regiments were also reorganized into the reconnaissance regiments. Some cavalry regiments were retained. Most notably, Imperial Guard division have kept cavalry regiment while also including reconnaissance regiment. In Imperial Guard division cavalry regiment did include an armoured car company.
While the Reconnaissance regiment was envisioned as combination of the Armoured fighting vehicles and Motorized infantry, initial vehicles available for the army was very sparse. It happened because Type 92 Heavy Armoured Car tankette, Type 94 tankette and Type 97 Te-Ke tankette earmarked for reconnaissance, were also overloaded with attack role, and absorbed into the tank regiments. Also, while initial concept was what Reconnaissance regiment must be a self-sufficient fighting force, in practice the mechanized forces were predominantly used to reinforce under-powered infantry units.
As Nanshin-ron strategy was adopted for the Pacific War, the reconnaissance regiments were initially very successful during Japanese conquest of Burma, but later the operations have become increasingly focused on smaller islands. Because the performance limitations of light armoured fighting vehicles were obvious at this point, the reconnaissance regiments were frequently left behind on mainland while infantry forces have headed to outlying islands.

Japanese Snipers
The Japanese devised tactics that would provide maximum advantage for their smaller army. They used night attacks whenever possible in order to minimize casualties, and performed the maximum use of deception, speed, surprise and infiltration to put and keep the enemy off balance. In theory, each Japanese squad contained two or three snipers—and even LMG were used for sniping, some being equipped with scopes for that purpose. Japanese tactical doctrine advocated the deployment of snipers behind enemy lines.
It's known the historical Japanese enthusiasm for deploying snipers (or, more accurately, "sharpshooters" as improvised snipers, for the vast majority were neither trained nor equipped to be true snipers and were merely infantrymen who had infiltrated into or stayed behind in good firing positions to cause trouble). The common "sharpshooter" was often more a nuisance than a danger, as shown by one Japanese soldier at the siege of Kohima in Burma who missed a British battalion CO sitting on a tree-stump in broad daylight from 100 yards, only to be shot with threes round by a British soldier even though his target was hidden up a tree. The real Japanese sniper was better camouflaged, had a telescopic sight on his rifle (which clarified rather than magnified targets by clearing away haze and other distractions to make objects stand out better), concentrated rations and perhaps even binoculars. This far more formidable individual was much harder to deal with; on Okinawa one sniper killed or wounded 22 Americans before being eliminated, and another, in Burma, shot eight officers over a three-week period and eventually escaped despite vigorous countermeasures. The sniper or sharpshooter was a particularly economical and effective ploy for tying down and eroding the strength of enemy units, as demonstrated to perfection on Bataan in 1942, although the placement of snipers there was found to be "repetitious" and thus enabled the Allies to conduct successful sniper-hunts (even dynamite was used to fell the trees concealing them). In Burma too, massed "snipers" were encountered, and in February 1945 over 100 were eliminated in one area between the Welaung and Meiktila roads alone. The Japanese would often time their artillery fire to land while enemy shells were passing overhead to give the impression that the Allies were themselves victims of "friendly" fire and they often handled guns like snipers.

Japan Spotters
Indirect fire was effectively carried out by the Imperial Japanese Army during the Russo-Japanese War. After World War I , the evolution of the artillery itself and the development of combat doctrine and tactics Became standard. Indirect fire was performed by the following teams: Observation group (Forward Observer: FO); Fire Direction Center (FDC); Gun line (battery). Only the observation team was directly looking at the target, and no enemy was visible in the shooting command post or battery.
The observation team needed to observe the target. Target coordinates, altitude, enemy size, etc. were sent to the shooting command center as a "shooting request". Based on the data from the observation team, the specifications ware calculated and the guns ware ordered. The battery was to open fire by adjusting the elevation and depression angles of the gun, the left and right turning angles, ammunition, etc. based on the commanded specifications. The observation team was to observe the impact and was to sent a correction request.
Shot observation (Shadankansoku) was to observe how the position of the shell fired from the gun settled, or the position where the tow burst broke with the target, and its effectiveness. Shooting observation was the basis of shooting , and its correctness was to affect the effectiveness of shooting. Particularly important consideration was given to artillery when performing indirect or long-range fire. Therefore, in the case of artillery fire and anti-aircraft fire, it was supposed that a specially equipped personnel and specially trained personnel or units will be provided.
In the case of the Imperial Japanese Army , observation platoons and observation teams was to carry out ground observations of artillery shells, and was to may request the cooperation of the Artillery Information Team. For observation, the Japanese set up an observatory and use binoculars , 6 meters observation mirror, gun mirror, ground leveling machine and other observation tools to make observations as accurate as possible. It was possible to measure the position of the shot more accurately by simultaneously observing from two or more observing stations and calculating by the intersection method ( triangulation). The observatory was advantageously shielded from enemy "eyes" and enemy bullets and as high as possible. Therefore, it was often done remotely from the gunfire line. The main observation elements was the direction, the perspective and burst height. Communication equipment was also important for prompt feedback of observation results.

Japan Heroes
Hiroshi Funasaka (1920-2006), Imperial Japan Army. The final rank was Sergeant. In March 1941, he joined the Utsunomiya 36th unit and was assigned to the 219th unit of Qi Haru Hara across Manchuria. Hiroshi was in charge of the Grenadier Squad Commander who led 15 men during the Battle of Angaur. In 1944, his Regiment arrived on Angaur Island on April 28. In the Battle on Angaur Island, Palau, he fought like a hero both on the beach and later in the island's cave complexes.
Yasuyo Yamazaki (1891-1943) Imperial Japan Army. The final rank was Army Colonel. During the Pacific War he commanded the Battle of Atts. On May 29, 1943, Captain Yamazaki ordered the survivors of the garrison to gather in front of the headquarters and made the final assault on the US military base near Mt. Gyuushi near Asahi Bay. Yamazaki was in front of the attacking team followed by about 300 soldiers with full wounds. Breaking through the patrol line of the United States Army he on up the slope of the mountain and violent in the United States Army encampment hand-to-hand combat was deployed. The attacking force was destroyed, Yamazaki was killed in the battle, and the Ats Island garrison was shattered.
Toichi Wakabayashi (1912-1943), an Army soldier who changed from a soldier to an officer. Known as the hero of the Hong Kong Cheats. The final rank was Army Captain. After participating in the operation of the Chinese continent, he participated in the Kowloon Peninsula Hong Kong capture operation and the Guadalcanal Island operation as the 38th division infantry 228th regiment 10th company commander, where was ordered to protect Mt.Miharuyama and, after a heroic fight, died on January 14, 1943.
Hirō "Hiroo" Onoda (19 March 1922 – 16 January 2014) was an Imperial Japanese Army intelligence officer and was a Japanese holdout who did not surrender at the war's end in August 1945. After the war ended Onoda spent 29 years hiding out in the Philippines until his former commander traveled from Japan to formally relieve him from duty by order of Emperor Shōwa in 1974. He held the rank of second lieutenant in the Imperial Japanese Army. He was the penultimate Japanese soldier to surrender.
Shōichi Yokoi (March 31, 1915 – September 22, 1997) was a sergeant in the Imperial Japanese Army, and was among the last three Japanese holdouts to be found after the end of hostilities in 1945. He was discovered in the jungles of Guam on 24 January 1972, almost 28 years after U.S. forces had regained control of the island in 1944.

Very good idea Chinchin.
I understand that you propose to activate the cell corresponding to the column "Super Spotter (1-5)" in the case of Spotters (of all nations).
If we agree, I can change the Units matrix in the new version of the Core of Heores and Leaders mod.
What do you think?

RE: Core of Heroes and Leaders mod
Yes that's what I mean. I think it is a logical characteristic for this class of units, and it would give them one more utility.
My native language is Spanish, and no English language mastery, sorry.
RE: Core of Heroes and Leaders mod
Chinchin, I agree. I'm going to change the drive array by adding this capacity to the Spotters.
Thank you very much for your proposal.

Japan Crew
Japanese tank troops were highly trained in night fighting, and in fighting under extremes of weather. They was obsessed with the value of the attack, and crews will not hesitate to leave their tanks to fight on foot when pressed or in coming up against manned obstacles. Japanese tank training stresses the need for: rapid decisions; rapid mobility; rapid concentration of fire; concealment of intentions; and supply and repair. Frequent was practiced in maneuvers over varied ground; in developing close cooperation within the tank between driver and gunner; and in bringing accurate fire to bear in the shortest possible time. In combat training successive stages were the advance, deployment, attack, mopping-up, and pursuit.
As a result of experiences in the Manchurian Incident, the war in China, and the clash with the Russians at Changkufeng, the Japanese Army was acquired a lively appreciation of the value of mechanization. Much thought was given to the proper use of this new weapon in the light of the experiences. A distinguishing feature was the early modification, extension, and detailed expatiation on the paragraphs devoted to the use of tanks and mechanized units in combat regulations. However, the new changes in regulations, while gave additional space to mechanization, tried the subject with broad generalities which leave considerable doubt as to whether the Japanese had resolved worked out many of the practical details of such highly involved questions as infantry-tank-artillery liaison, control by higher commanders, and logistics of mechanized forces.
The reliance on cooperation with the infantry may could explain the large number of "Independent" armored units, which could be attached to other formations as and when required. The lack, or failure, to identify artillery, infantry, etc., with the Tank Group also may be explained by this policy, and this formation may, in fact, be more of the Army Tank Brigade type than of the armored division. This view again is borne out to some extent by Japanese teaching, and it is thought that the Tank Group may be employed in conjunction with infantry formations, working in close cooperation with infantry divisions, rather than fulfilling the role of an armored division, which would be to destroy enemy armored formations.
US Army analysts expected that teh Japanese tanks reasonably may be expected to employ armor at least as a spearhead to infantry enveloping attacks. Should the nature of the ground permit, the Japanese had, in the tank, an ideal weapon for exploiting their favorite maneuver of a wide and rapid encircling movement which cuts the enemy's lines of communication and generally disorganizes his rear areas.

RE: Core of Heroes and Leaders mod
asl3d, I am looking around to figure out stuff. The internet here is really slow here so I can't load the threads to see the pictures without long waits.
I want to download the pack for your Stalingrad battles. Is that the Heroes and Leaders mod? Does it package the Normandy USA stuff together with the Stalingrad mod stuff?
I also wonder about 'chinchin' (egad!! this name is very odd if you know Japanese language), is he also making new unit cards? I saw one of his thread and it has really nice pictures from what I could see.

RE: Core of Heroes and Leaders mod
Hello GiveWarAchance,
Exact. It is precisely this thread where you can download everything you need to play Barrikady, Omaha, American Eagles, and Carentan. Remember that you also have to copy the rest of the files contained in this package onto your hard drive, because it contains the latest versions of the Heroeas and Leaders mod files.
´
Regarding friend Chinchin, I confirm that he is converting the units into a "silhouette" format, which I am creating, converting them into the classic "cardboard token" format.

RE: Core of Heroes and Leaders mod
[font="Courier New"]Okay I got the Heroes mod 364 MB so I should be good to go. I like how you packaged everything up nice and simple to use. There must be a lot of content with all that for us to enjoy. Seriously that is amazing work on your part and you deserve credit for it. Maybe a rich player can buy you a luxury home or a Bugatti.
Thanks for clarifying about Chin's (I can't type the full name cause it feels like I am insulting him) token format. That's good you have a loyal partner kind of like Robin is to Batman. I will be more like the Penguin. That's actually a cool idea to make a cardboard effect to go with the dice and board of the game.
Cheers[/font]
