    One of the best MoW vids you've done. My grandfather captured one of those Japanese swords during WW2, I believe in the Philippines. The gems on it were stolen on the boat back overseas. The general he captured studied at Harvard and spoke Spanish with him. There was much respect for their honor.

    Honestly I'm not at all surprised the Japanese took such heavy casualities, when the defenders have prepared positions, it's a massive force multiplier (maybe a bit less in-game then in real life but still).
    Historically storming fixed defenses would the worst tactic to deal with them and using that tactic may it so that World War 1 lasted 4 years and the frontline barely moved at all dispite the casualties on both sides rivaling the populations of small nations.
