So-Pro THE WARRIOR's Edges

Melee Imperial Japanese Army- While the Bowie Knife is a good melee weapon the Bayonet is attached to the Arisaka Rifle meaning that's two weapons in one and one of them is a gun. While the Bowie Knife can be thrown it stil can't match the Arisaka and the fact that you just disarmed yourself of your weapon.

Mid Range Rough Riders- The .38 Revovler packs a bigger punch of the two pistols and is surprisingly more reliable then the futurisitic pistol. While the Type 26 can reload faster the fact that it could misfire before killing the enemy could prove to be the death sentence of a Jap.

Long Range Imperial Japanese Army- The Krag may be firing a more powerful bullet it can't match up to the fact that the Arisaka can be reloaded using a stripper clip where the Krag has to have each round reloaded individually. Also add to the fact that the Arisaka can have a bayonet on the end and so once again. Two Weapons are better then one. While the Krag user will be using the butt end of his rifle the Jap can just stab him and be over with.

Special Imperial Japanese Army-As much as I like the Gatling Gun the gun requires a much larger crew to man it, and it is heavier to lug around the Battlefield that could lead to fatigue problems. The Type 99 is more portable and requires less men to work it.

The Deadliest Warriors: The Imperial Japanese Army- The Rough Riders don't stand a chance in dealing with the Japanese Army. They have more advanced weapons, are better marksman, and more disciplined. As long as they don't decide to Banzai charge at the Gatling Gun they should be good.
