Your average Indian 44 division will match up well with this one up in open terrain and a USMC division would have it for lunch. Actually, it is pretty good reflecton of the reality of ground combat in the Pacific theater. The game designers got it pretty good here.

Yes, fighting and winning that is. My best troops aside from the marines are Indian. They have been at is since 1941 and are looking pretty good as 45 rolls around.
