As I have previously indicated my Japanese squads to be as flexible as possible. For instance this squad can be a 15 man rifle squad that may upgrade their NCO to having a SMG, or include an LMG and/or a light mortar that would make it a dual infantry squad.

The squad with 15 rifles.

The NCO

A bugler that has no game effect but looks cool.

A flag bearer with the Japanese Army standard that offers no benefit and acts as a normal rifleman.

Riflemen

NCO upgraded to carrying an SMG

Light machine-gunner

Light mortar

All eighteen on their shelf storage base. Sorry for the poor quality pics. One day I will get it right!
