	Select, by clicking on the image, any of the categories in the scroll bar on the right. Doing this drills down for images and a fuller definition of each squad. My platoon organisations are adapted from those contained within K-Bar and Bayonet rules written by Larry V. Brom. For instance, KBAB suggests the Japanese should have a platoon of 53 figures: 1 x Headquarters (1 Lieutenant, 1 NCO) 3 x Rifle Squads (1 Sergeant, 1 LMG, 10 Riflemen and 1 Sniper) 1 x Attached HMG Section (2 Type 92 and 6 crew) 1 x Attached Grenade Launcher Section (3 tubes and 6 crew) I've based my platoon on this, but have incorporated figures I like into it. E.g. my Headquarters have a Standard Bearer, a Bugler and a Radio Telephone Operator. I've also added some Flamethrower Support. Likewise my U.S.Marines have been given some Armoured Support to assist in flushing out the "Yellow Peril".
