The Manchurian Affair 1942 has been updated for TOAW IV. Would appreciate receiving comments and suggestions to improve game play. The following is from the scenario briefing:

GENERAL BACKGROUND.
This series of scenarios of an alternative history line for WWII is based on two premises.
1. The US lost the Battle of Midway and all their carriers were destroyed.
2. The Axis powers developed an agreed Strategic Plan for fighting the Allies.

The loss of the carriers at Midway has stopped any further US offensive operations in the Pacific.

America goes on the defensive retaining more troops at home to defend any possible Japanese invasion, reducing support in N Europe and the Mediterranean and eliminating any imminent threat of Allied invasions. This enables Hitler to transfer more divisions to the Eastern Front.

The Axis now agree to conduct a joint campaign, with the Japanese opening a new front from Manchuria, designed to cut the Trans-Siberian Railway and isolate Vladivostok.

Realizing that they can only mount a limited offensive against the Russians, they plan to annex the area running from Udskoye in the North East down to Blagoveshchensk and then defend their gains.

In preparation for the anticipated counterattack on their left flank they are already building defensive forts along The Great Wall of China, at Yala and Mukden.
