I have a couple of questions about tactics. For Blitz and Breakthrough one of the conditions says you must be over 50% hardness. Does that mean your army under the general has to have a combined hardness over 50% or just the units participating in the combat at hand? Also do the Japanese start with Banzai or are there conditions to unlock it first? I looked on the Wiki but it was not very clear on these conditions.

I would like to know too, probably need just one division with hardness > 50%. Banzai is availble at start.

By the way the 50% only a must for Blitz. A good general can get Breakthrough. With the new hardness of MOT at 40%, the Blitz requirement looks easier. Though you can live without Blitz, the chance to have Encirclement and Breakthrough will be higher without it.
