Fanatical Nations

[Green]

I believe the game engine hard codes fanatic status, and that Japan is fanatic. The surrender rule is superseded by the fanatic rule and so the Japanese won't surrender.

Thanks Rick. But does this apply even if they are not in a Pillbox or Bunker? Sorry, I should have made it clear that this is the situation I had in mind. In a game I am playing a Broken Japanese unit was assaulted and either surrendered or somehow suffered over 90 casualties and was eliminated while inflicting a loss of 6 men on the attackers. This seems odd to me.

Actually, having given this some more thought, it is not that odd. Not having played the game before I just was not expecting to see the Japanese melt away like this. I guess I had expectations that even Broken units would put up more resistance.   

Thanks for the clarification.
