David:
I would state that Banzai assaults are built into Rising Sun, but IMO these "tactics" are not "acceptable" both in the way Banzai is implemented or historical.
Historically, Banzai assaults were suicidal, last ditch charges by trapped and cut off Japanese troops... in which most of the charging Japanese were killed... and not a calculated "tactic" that commanders could initiate on the battlefield as a repeatable strategy. That the game engine allows the same Japanese troops to initiate Banzai multiple times during an engagement... is fantasy.
As a designer, I don't allow Banzai to be used in my scenarios. I also don't play RS scenarios using Banzai either.
IMO, keep the Human Wave in the Korean Mod. Players and designers have the option to either allow it or not?
