Elite units

[Bobsalt]

Something I’m toying with once I get the right miniatures is to give the Japanese elite fighters at the beginning (+1 to attack/defense values, 3/3/3 or 4/4/2 to build). I wondered whether you are considering something like this for the next generation game. It’s kind of hard to do this in a D6-based system, but with a D10 or D12 system you have more room between units to play with the values a bit, and having elite Japanese naval fighters, Guards units, SS, etc. would add more flavor to the game.

I agree that speciialunits add more aspects to the game and that you need at least  a D12 to make it work. Here is the units that we use in our D12 version:
