Change "Japanese Special Naval Landing Force Marine" To "Japanese Special Naval Landing Forces".

This was a common misconception but there were no Japanese Marines in World War II.

I can give you details if you would like them.

Here is the Corps counter for the Japanese SNLF unit

[2175] [Japanese Special Naval Landing Force Marine]
.P Due to the scale of World in Flames and the unit sizes in play, the depiction of units of the Japanese Special Naval Landing Force (SNLF) – which were generally deployed in numbers smaller than a brigade - has to be necessarily ahistorical. It is right that these units are included within the game however. World in Flames allows the Japanese player to build one SNLF corps and two divisions.
.P During World War II the Japanese did not operate an autonomous marine branch in the way that their US counterparts did. However they did make use of naval troops. Such troops were used to land at key points – often ahead of a larger force – to seize key objectives.
.P The forerunners of the SNLF (Tokubetsu Rikusentai) were used for the first time during the fighting against Russia at the start of the 20th Century. Having proved their worth there and later in Manchuria, the Japanese began raising SNLF units at each of their four main naval bases.
.P The following units fought during World War II:
.P Kure naval base: 1st Kure SNLF, 2nd Kure, 3rd Kure, 5th Kure, 6th Kure and 7th Kure
.P Maizuru naval base: 1st Maizuru SNLF, 2nd Maizuru, 4th Maizuru and 5th Maizuru
.P Sasebo naval base: 1st Sasebo SNLF, 2nd Sasebo, 5th Sasebo, 6th Sasebo, 7th Sasebo and 8th Sasebo
.P Yokosuka naval base: 1st Yokosuka SNLF, 2nd Yokosuka, 3rd Yokosuka, 4th Yokosuka, 5th Yokosuka, 6th Yokosuka and 7th Yokosuka
.P In addition to the above, there were small Guard detachments that were based at other key ports and rivers such as Ryojun, Shanghai, Yangtse, Hankow and Canton.
.P The SNLF units varied in size. At most, a single unit was likely to contain no more than 1,600 men – roughly two battalions in size. The smallest units contained around 750 men. For some operations, two units could combine to form a brigade sized outfit. The 1st and 3rd Yokosuka SNLF’s were both airborne trained.
.P The division counters 2171 and 2172 provide details of some of the individual operations of the SNLF and these show at high level, how important these elite units were in the early stages of the war as the Japanese sought to expand their empire.
.P By June 1942, once the Japanese advance had been checked, the need for these troops was no longer as important. From elite, special purpose troops, they became nothing more than garrison troops that were, in many cases, annihilated as they sought to defend outposts in the Pacific; outposts that were taken one by one by the US juggernaut.

Unfortunately nothing in that indicates a marine or naval specialism.

Re your offer of details - do you have anything on the Japanese Army Landing Forces? There are two Japanese corps counters - one called Imperial Guard and the other LG Marine. These two appear to be "What if" counters but would be useful to know if there is any basis in fact for their appearance in the game?

quote:

ORIGINAL: warspite1

Why highlight Marine? As I said, it does not appear on the counter.

Re the name change, using Units plural and Forces plural in the same sentence does not sound right to me? Osprey Men-at-Arms series refers to both Force and Forces so not sure that my sentence was incorrect.

Doesn't MWiF use the NATO unit symbols? NATO unit symbols show a marine capable unit.

Are you doing a unit description or forcing the players to read the descriptions to find out what the units can do?


It doesn't matter if you think "Special Naval Landing Forces" sounds right it is what they were called.

Example: What you suggest is the British "Commandos" change their name to the British "Commando".

I didn't design the game - ADG did. Some counters state Inf or Arm or Mot etc and some don't. The SNLF - both corps and divisions are in the latter camp.

As I said, the word Marine does not appear on the counter.

Am I doing a unit description? Yes and I am explaining at high level what these counters represent in a historical sense.

Am I forcing players to read descriptions to know what they can do? No I am not forcing anyone to do anything. The write-ups are not designed to further a players rule understanding - they are just a bit of "chrome" to be read or ignored as required. The symbol on the counter tells a player what type it is and what it can do in consultation with the unit description chart (if they do not know already).

So when a respected publication like Osprey use force and forces interchangeably they are wrong?

Re Commandos - yes, the individual units currently in operation are 40, 42, 43 and 45 commando.

So by that reckoning I suspect its, for example, the 1st Kure Special Naval Landing Force

Number 40, 42, 43 and 45 commando taken as a group all together are now called just "a British Commando"?


One U.S. Marine Corps.
One Fleet Marine Force Pacific (FMFPAC).
One Fleet Marine Force Atlantic (FMFLANT).
One U.S. 1st Marine Division.
All are Marine Amphibious Forces but are not a Marine Amphibious Force.

The counter represents a corps size unit of several Special Naval Landing Force units. It is therefore "Special Naval Landing Forces".

Marine is not on the counter because the counter itself shows it as having Marine capability (at least it does in VASSAL). It is not made up of Marines it is made up of Navy personell. Therefore Marine should NOT be in the discription.

There is absolutly NO reason to have Marine in the unit description.

IS NOT on the counter or unit description.

As I've said, the counters state SNLF, 1st SNLF Div or 2nd SNLF Div only. For symbols they have an anchor to denote Marine capability for Game Purposes.
