Status: offline 		I think that the USSR can be taken, but not in January. After securing the SRA, take the Siberian railway in the middle to cut off the flow of resources to the industrial area with 1400 LI while also taking the coastal bases away from the main enemy concentration. There are only a NKVD regiment in two bases in the middle of the railway, build up the airbases and massive ground bombing followed by paratroopers. Sail up the river to invade the base with the IL-2 factory. If the USSR is secured, then the ocean perimeter can really be fortified. The Japanese should invade before their invasion bonus is over or else after some units leave, I believe in the beginning of May.

Soviet Air Forces have not been touched so there are all biplane fighters and 560 Il-2's in the pool (but no pilots).

When the Japanese can land units anywhere with no Prep and suffer no penalties. They will also unload faster. This is great for unloading on Java but not at a base . . .

So does that mean no Soviet activation tomorrow? Such an act would be a real boon to the Allied cause in January 1943.

He must mean the manual doesn't specify was a false alarm. We all know he's never read it.
