I like the idea that a banzai can charge an enemy unit within 8 hexes (and los) regardless of the force disparity between the two.

So, a very large banzai - say ten or more squads or even the whole IJA OB - can get started against just one enemy unit.

Not many scenarios would create the circumstances for that, but something to keep in mind.

My only Human Wave that was successful (for me and not for my opponent) was at the end-game of Hedgehog of Piepsk. Needed to get past a blocking unit in the stairwell of the big Board 3 victory building and into the 2nd level to cause failure to rout to a broken hold out. Human Wave up the stairs, with LOS from a unit outside the building, was the only way to get it done.
