Japanese Type B Company
~1941 to 1942~ |

|
The Company represents part of the Imperial Japanese Army that invaded Malaya and Burma in December 1941.
The three main infantry platoons consist of four squads of infantry. The first three are of ten men, including one light machine gun (designated a rifle/lmg squad) ; the fourth consists of three light mortar teams supported by four riflemen (designated a rifle/mortar squad) . The fourth infantry platoon consists of four anti-tank rifle teams plus a rifle/mortar squad.
The MMG platoons have five-man MMG teams instead of the usual three-man teams: making them very hard to kill. The gun platoon is at double strength: having four 70mm Type 92 guns rather than the usual two. The company is currently missing any support from an engineer company or any heavier artillery. Air support is available in the form of Zero fighters or Oscar fighter-bombers.
