The Pacific War involved fierce infantry fighting, difficult ground and extensive use of support weapons and transport. Command and communications mattered alongside the experiences of individual Japanese soldiers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStanding with  Rifle \u0026amp; Bayonet is defined in part by its standing position. That gives the figure a specific purpose when combined with soldiers in complementary poses, helping create a formation with natural variety and a clear direction of action.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe action-oriented pose conveys the pressure and movement of a close encounter. The direction of the body and the implied opponent help define the instant being portrayed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor a display based on a Pacific island strongpoint, coastal position or jungle track, position the subject where its role is evident at first glance.
