I've been play testing the Japanese factions, and I think you did a really good job. Those Kamikaze are worth the high point cost!
The Crossbow units are incredibly slow though. Could someone maybe change their animation set so that the run faster?

Also, your mercenary units are really good, but the Hilltribe mercs are a little... basic.
I thought the Standard Bearer might be a good unique unit.

Here is an example, the CAS needs to be fixed so it doesn't have the 'ghost' lines from the standard.

Just an idea.

Keep up the good work. Look forward to the next update!
