Okay, lets have a look:

1. Bowie Hunter vs Arisaka Bayonet

I agree with Marcus and Spartan: the Ariska has a longer reach, more so when attatched to a rifle. The Bowie is a wider blade, but it loses out due to the Arisaka's multi-task capabilities (bayonet and combat knife) and its greater range

EDGE: Japanese Imperial Army

2. Gaitling Gun vs Type 99

The Gaitling Gun was a large, cumbersome weapon, not as light or as less bulky than the type 99. The latter is simply the better, more advanced weapon, and a person firing it is less prone to getting hit than those who man a Gaitling gun because you are lying down while firing a Type 99. The Gaitling Gun you have to stand

EDGE: Japanese Imperial Army

3.  Revoler vs Revolver

The .38 seems to have bigger bullets than the type 26. This means more stopping power and more grievious injuries. The Rough Riders have this.

EDGE: Rough Riders

4. X-Factors

While the RR have better training, tactics, and leadership, the Japanese have better marksmanship, discipline, and a die-hard never-surrender attitude, which makes them very dangerous. Nevertheless better training and Tactics will trump all of the Imperial army's X-Factors

EDGE: Rough Riders.

Conclusion: The Japanese have the superiority in weaponry, but not in X-Factors, particularly training and tactics. Sun Tzu once said that battles are won before they are fought: superior tactics can trump superior weapons. I conclude, that the Rough Riders will ride roughshot over the Imperial troops of the Land of the Rising Sun!

ROUGH RIDERS ROUGH OUT A VICTORY
