It's time for the last battle of this season.

The Rough Riders............Theodore Roosevelt's own unit.

VS

The Imperial Japanese Army..........Brutal conquerors of a mass Pacific empire.

WHO

IS

DEADLIEST??!!?!?!!!?!?!?!?!?

Rough Riders: When the Spanish American war started, Theodore Roosevelt called for volunteers for his regiment, the 1st United States Volunteer Cavalry (even though they fought on foot as infantry). The press later dubbed them the Rough Riders after Roosevelt and his men took San Juan Hill.

Weapons:

Type 99

Arisaka

Type 26

Arisaka Bayonet

RR/IJA

X Factors:

Marksmanship:

83/86

The Rough Riders were good shots, no doubt in my mind about that. But the IJA's were more disciplined which made them make each. Shot. Count. This also leads us to our next x-factor of......

Discipline:

79/90

In boot camp, the IJA were mercilessly beaten to toughen them up. Any infraction at all, they were punished. The Rough Riders, while disciplined weren't as disciplined as the IJA.

Training:

<p style="text-align:center;">79/72

<p style="text-align:center;">The IJA had more brutal training, that doesnt mean they had better training though. The Rough Riders were taught better tactics, maneuvers, and were succesful in their goals wheras the IJA lost the war.

<p style="text-align:center;">Leadership:

<p style="text-align:center;">83/81

<p style="text-align:center;">The Rough Riders were led by Theodore Roosevelt. The man was able to take a group of ordinary people and turn them into a fighting force. The IJA had slightly worse leadership. If only because of bad decisions.
