Subordination: All units are subordinate to the headquarters, 129th RCT. 2. Chemical Mortars: The command stand may also serve as the FO stand for the company. Chemical mortars treat smoke as a standard round. 3. General Support Artillery: There are two battalions of 155mm howitzers and an additional battalion of 105mm howitzers available for use. In addition, one light observation aircraft is available at any point in the game. These guns are assumed to have an associated staff stand for indirect fire purposes. US Setup The US troops deploy within two feet on the eastern map edge. The 1/129th RCT is deployed in the northern third of the setup area. The remainder of the 129th RCT may set up anywhere within the remaining southern two­thirds of the setup area. Units attached directly to the 129th RCT must set up on board. General support artillery is considered off board and need not be modeled. The US has no entrenchments, weapons pits or other fortifications available. The Japanese had deployed the Eguchi Detach­ment in the Fort Stotsenburg area. A scratch-built force, it was formed using the airfield construction troops at Clark Field, as well as the few regular army and navy personnel available.
