If the Japanese get a second CU, what should it be?
If the Japanese get a second CU, what should it be? Providing the first CU is the Samurai.

Kyoto Class: biggest battleship ever build. Not sure if I got the name right though
Zero: WW2 fighter
Ninja: guess
Kamikaze: WW2 suicide pilots

I think I can reasonably claim responsibility for this thread being irrevocably hijacked.

The Yamato-Class Battleship was to be used at mere field artillery. It only had enough fuel to get to an island (don't remember what) and ground itself.

How about all encompassing LOUSY CARTOONS?

Causes children of target country to grow stupid and run the economy into the ground by buying stupid Hokey-Mon cards.

How about:
Group Of Annoying Laughing Photo-taking Tourists

They are diplomat like units that create unhappiness...

Don't believe me? Go to the Grand Canyon, there are thousands of them.

Actually, Kamikaze's were very cost effective. The primary reason that the japanese used them was because they no longer had enoguh trained pilots, and they didn't have enough time to train more. Instead tehy gave their pilots a 3 month crash course and then shoved them in planes.

They were extremely difficult to shoot down, and they caused horrendous damage.

But I don't think they'd make a good special unit, any more than a suicide bomber would for another civilization. Its just not in good taste.
