Looking forward to see what you come up with a Steve. You keep pumping out excellent situations and we’ll keep playing them.
The Banana Wars was the period of time where the Marines developed many of their tactics and procedures used in WW2.
In fact Marine Artillery was developed during this period.
Air Observation and Recon also came into being then.
The need to change from Rifle Squads and BAR Squads was determined during this time.
The basic use of Naval direct fire to support Marine actions on shore...
The list goes on.
It was interesting to learn that the Marines operated a lot like Cavalry in Centralk America and control of RR was essential in some locations.
It was this period that the Marines when from Company level units to the Combat Regimental system in use today.
There is a lot to learn from the Banana Wars.
Even the US Navy has Bluejacket infantry units and land based artillery then.
