IJA

Imperial Japanese Army
The ground force of the Empire of Japan from 1868 through its 1945 surrender, and the ASL system’s most rule-heavy nationality. Its infantry squads have no broken side at all: instead of breaking, an armed squad takes Step Reduction, flipping to a weaker Reduced-Strength side or trading down to a Half-Squad before it can break outright. Chapter G covers its Banzai charges, caves, and jungle terrain in full.

After retiring, he returned to ASL and saw it as an opportunity to create tutorials and player aids to support new and returning players. His introduction to gaming began with Advanced Dungeons & Dragons alongside childhood friends, while his first wargame was Steve Jackson’s G.E.V.. He currently lives near Seattle, land of moss and rain.
