I personally use him as my second heavy tank general. His survivability as a heavy tank commander is second to none. On several occasions he suppressed remaining resistance while my Rommel was long dead. Yet as an Infantry general I prefer Yamashita. The reason is very simple. He is a Japanese general and it gives me a tactical plausibility. We don't have good cheap substitutions for Axis Infantry generals so I think that both can be used, especially in certain missions. What do you mean by a "tactical plausibility?" |

What do you mean by a "tactical plausibility?" Maybe they mean that they want Japanese infantry generals because the Japanese army historically put a heavy emphasis on their infantry. But, I'm just as clueless as you are. |

What do you mean by a "tactical plausibility?" Since I don't have Guderian I should use one of the remaining 1945 Pacific generals. The choice for land battles is rather limited as you see. So, since I have Yamashita I can use him as my Infantry General using Rundstedt as a tank Commander or leaving him behind altogether. Let's suppose I don't have Yamashita. Then I am almost forced to use Rundstedt as an Infantry general. And my 6th "native" general will be apparently weak for a land battle (in my case Yamamoto or Ozava). |

BTW, the name "Pacific" campaign might be misleading at times since we fight all our major battles as Axis side on land. The last campaign, for example, is a battle for Dallas and Denver with some desert tiles for Rommel   |
