Bonple Girl's High School

Bonple Girl’s High School has its roots in a group of Polish children that crossed over from Siberia to Japan. Upon their return back to their home county, a school was built for their new Japanese friends.

Originally a medical school in Kanagawa Prefecture, the school and the vision for the school’s future massively grew, forcing them to make the decision to host the school at the Port of Tsuruga in Fukui Prefecture. Once an old school ship was acquired from St. Gloriana, Bonple Girl’s High School was officially opened. The school often hosts St. Gloriana exchange students, and to this day St. Gloriana and Bonple maintain good relations.


Despite their relatively small number and size of their tanks, Bonple prides itself on fielding domestically designed and produced Polish tanks, with their main force being the TKS Tankette and the 7TP tank, both the machine gun armed twin turreted version and the single turreted version armed with a proper 37mm anti tank gun. Also owned by the Bonple Senshado team is the extremely rare 10TP, which never left the prototyping stage of development. They also posses a non-operational Renault R35.

Due to their relatively light vehicles compared to the other schools, their tactics are based on maneuver warfare doctrines and old Polish cavalry tactics. Their main plan consists of a line of tanks advancing towards an enemy, while a detached force charges and slowly narrows to create a point to focus their charge onto a small area of the enemy lines.

This tactic necessitates very fast, and thus very light tanks with small armaments, oftentimes no more than machine guns. However, though they had their start with a pure tankette lineup, to keep up with developments they soon focused their attention on the relatively heavier light tanks.

There existed a few projects to increase the firepower of their tanks, especially the machine gun armed vehicles, but all projects were delayed due to various reasons. They decided to acquire the Renault R35 as a stopgap. Though it shared the same 37mm ammunition plus many other pieces of equipment with their older Renault FT tanks, easing logistics, this acquisition solved very few problems as the short 37mm had anemic anti tank performance.

As it is more or less impossible for the Bonple team to successfully combat heavy vehicles, it has been considered a priority to acquire a vehicle capable of heavy anti tank work.

After putting out a request for some new vehicles, they were overwhelmed with the replies. From Saunders came offers of M4A2 Shermans, from St. Gloriana came the Mk IV Cruiser Tank, Kuromorimine offered the Hetzer, and the T-34/76 was offered by Pravda.

Taken off guard by the response, the school experienced great turmoil as the students split themselves up based on what school they supported. The largest group of students supported the acquisition of the Mk IV Cruiser to respect the deep relationship with St. Gloriana, but a significant number of the older students prefer to accept the support from Saunders. Bonple has postponed the answer to the offers from Kuromorimine and Pravda, as a hasty rejection would ruin relationships.

In the end, the adoption of new tanks and tactics have been delayed.


Though Bonple students are earnest and diligent, making a difficult choice is all but impossible for them. Due to their hard working habits and a passion for education, the acceptance rate for Bonple graduated at top tier universities is very high, with many Bonple graduates attending Saunders University.

For the same reason they are hardworking and diligent, they are also stubborn and prefer the familiar. They have a habit of avoiding change, sometimes to the point of intentionally skipping matches.


Boiled eggs are popular, and Katsudon with Boiled Eggs and a special sauce is considered a Bonple specialty. Their Senshado team is rather mediocre, with their music truly bringing them fame. However, when it comes to international fame their Dressage and Equestrian team is world-class.
