It was comprised of:<br />13th Infantry Brigade<br />25th Infantry Regiment<br />26th Infantry Regiment (Asahikawa)<br />14th Infantry Brigade<br />27th Infantry Regiment (Asahikawa)<br />28th Infantry Regiment (Asahikawa)<br />7th Cavalry Regiment<br />7th Field Artillery Regiment<br />7th Engineering Regiment<br />7th Transportation Regiment<br /><br />The Division was effectively wiped out in winning the fight for 203 Metre HillPaul O'Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08611720164170399684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4435522827063443564.post-74163920281261639902016-04-03T03:23:57.336-07:002016-04-03T03:23:57.336-07:00460th Specially Established Guard Battalion...

As for the level of command, if you wanted to just command the lucky division tasked with taking Hill 203 that would work too, rather than the entire army.<br /><br />The naval aspect will need some more fleshing out, but that will be a lot easier for you to 'slot in' to history.<br /><br />I'm going back to work this evening so progress will slow, and we have the Battle of Gettysburg to fight on Friday... but I'll try incorporate everyone's feedback on the rules &c and get something to you next weekend.Colonel Scipiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02632701529009379584noreply@blogger.com
