Infantry are to exercise extreme caution when faced with these combatants.Ĭounter-intelligence has discovered only a few facts about the shinobi, though their performance in combat is beginning to speak for itself. The Imperial Shinobi is a trained killer and expert infiltrator. Disturbingly, while these shadowy characters are equipped with what might be considered ancient, old-fashioned weapons by modern standards, they have proven to be uncommonly lethal. The Empire of the Rising Sun's unorthodox intelligence network seems to consist of these cloaked assassin-saboteurs, who have no official connection to Japan's international or military affairs, yet seem to be showing up more and more often in battlefield situations.
However, anyone who guesses that the ranks of the Imperial shinobi had something to do with it is probably on the right track. Exactly how the Empire managed to reverse-engineer top-secret military technology and discover the few vulnerabilities of the two largest world superpowers is anyone's guess. Furthermore, it appears that the Empire has already developed more-advanced versions of certain forces commonly used by the Allies and the Soviets, such as their mobile construction vehicles. The Empire of the Rising Sun evidently knew much of its enemies' weaknesses prior to unleashing its hidden army upon the world.
