The infantry divisions (Puscasi) were organized into 3 infantry regiments, one partially motorized recon group, one anti-tank company, a pioneer battalion and two artillery regiments, for a total of 13,500 men.

The infantry regiments were numbered 1st – 40th and 82nd – 96th and the Vanatori (hunters) regiments 1st – 10th, from these the divisions were organized. In spring 1942 each regiment consisted of 2 battalions (each battalion of 3 companies, each company of 3 Puscasi (Rifle) platoons, each platoon of 4 sections), a heavy weapons company (3 platoons of 37 mm Anti-tank guns and one platoon of 47 mm Anti-tank guns), a heavy mortar company (3 platoons of two 120mm Mortars each) and a recon company.

Each battalion also had a heavy weapons company consisting of four machine-gun platoons (four ZB-53 HMGs each) and one mortar platoon (four 81.4 mm Brandt mortars).

The infantry were armed with the Czech ZB (Zbrojovka Brno) model 1924 rifle. It was modified version of the German Mauser 98K and used the standard 7.92 mm cartridge.

The reserve units received the older Mannlicher model 1895 rifle, which were modified from Austrian 8mm to German 7.92mm.

Each infantry section had a ZB model 1930 light machine-gun. The machine-gunner also had a 9mm Steyr model 1912 pistol.

A mountain brigade had 6 battalions, one mountain artillery and one mountain pioneer battalion.

The battalion had 3 rifle companies, each company 3 platoons and each platoon 3 sections. Attached were a heavy weapons company (three machine-gun platoons and one mortar platoon).

The tulip, a flower native to east Africa, created quite a ruckus upon reaching the shores of Europe in the mid-1500s. When a virus attacks a tulip, the resulting colour patterns can be stunning, but the same virus weakens the tulip and makes reproduction a challenge. These rare tulips have always been quite expensive, even to this day. Many associate Tulipmania with these rare, high-priced tulips, but scholars report that this first bubble market, where buyers pay far more than something is physically worth because of the resale value, actually stemmed from the common tulip market over December 1636 and January 1637.

The Dutch, well-known for their trading prowess, were the centre of the tulip trade. During this time, the bubonic plague was killing off 1 out of every 7 people per year, so the common man saw little reason not to invest foolishly with a good chance of making a substantial profit. These conditions created a situation where the prices of tulips skyrocketed by the day, until the prices hit a point that could not be sustained. The wily investors knew when to sell off, so those that profited most are those who sold just as the market started to turn sour.

You are playing one of those wily investors. You have a network of buyers and colleagues, all of whom are also trying to become wealthy. Your goal is to make smart investments, artificially raise prices, fleece your network at the best time, and then make your escape from Tulipmania with the most money.

Shy Ayu Tateishi has just made a new friend at school. But this new friend, much to her surprise, is no ordinary classmate. Nina Sakura may look like a normal middle school girl, but she's got a big secret.

She's a witch.

Or, rather, she's studying to be a witch. And, apparently, she's not doing her homework. Her spells are devastating in their ineffectiveness and often result in the most embarrassing situations for poor Ayu.

But things wouldn't be so bad if Nina's sorcery didn't make Ayu look silly in front of the one boy she secretly adores. All she wants is a simple love potion. What she gets, however, is a new best friend who almost flunked out of witch school!

With her black cat Leo as constant counsel, Nina is always on the lookout for ways to improve her sorcery skills. Hoping to help a friend suffering from boyfriend problems, she buys an extraordinary camera guaranteed to reveal true love! As advertised, the camera possesses astounding magical properties, but, as Nina quickly learns, love is an emotion most fickle. Not even her charms can predict the target of Cupid's pointed arrow.

Unfortunately, Nina is finding out that going to school on Earth is a lot more complicated than she first thought. Not everybody is glad to have a spunky (and cute) witch flitting about campus. A girl named Sayaka, for example, has recently become obsessed with Nina. A half-witch herself, Sayaka is jealous that her new classmate is stealing all the attention away from her. Like they say in the Magic Kingdom, "There's no fury like that of a teenage witch ignored!"

For as long as she can remember, Nina has wanted to attend the most prestigious learning institute in the Magic Kingdom. And now, finally, she's getting her wish. But going away to school means leaving all her new friends behind. Poor Nina. What will she do? Will she return to the Magic Kingdom or will she stay in Japan with her best friend, Ayu, and Hiroki, the boy who loves her? Growing up is full of difficult choices. It's time for Nina to make the most important decision of her life.
