Soviet and Chinese concentrations circled in yellow. Soviet tank divisions here...

Japanese counterattack looks to route a strong Soviet thrust...only a day or two more.

SRA is a disaster as Palembang and Magwe have fallen.

The joint Soviet/Chinese thrust is throwing almost all mobile Soviet troops at Japan looking to cut off Manchuko and Korea from China.

A few CAP traps work over Burma netting some 2E bombers...

A Val puts a 250kg bomb on a CL...but the rest miss near Mindanao...

Chinese Soviet threat developing...




Some Chinese units are broken down into A/B/C units to one seem impressive total number of units on attack, and two to infiltrate every possible hex.

But the runway is wrecked now...supplies really iffy here as Japan is in full retreat mode.

..and remember. If you see a russian with a funny uniform aiming at AAA crews. SHOOT HIM FIRST !!! He is not a Japanese undercover agent.

Allies are pushing forward everywhere...but the KB is almost fully reformed at Formosa.

Tojo IIa are a good counter to the Mig...knock out 5 for no loss here.

Status: offline 		There is no righting this game, no decisive battle that will turn the tide...the combined strength of the Allies and Soviets ground game is simply too strong, and a decisive battle would cause Allies to pursue tactics that they haven't used yet and there is no counter too this early.

Anyhow, we struggle on...heavy fighting in Manchuko/China, IJN gathering at Samah to rescue the survivors of Cam Ranh Bay. Burma sees heavy fighting and the concentration of all the Allied Beasts.

I beleive this accurate. Even if he had been prepared for the incursion (which he wasn't), it was too soon. Maybe, and it really is a maybe, IJ could take on the bear in mid-42 successfully. Never been done n a PBEM that I know of, so we have no evidence. I think it would be extremely difficult to pull off against a competent allied player, but maybe.
Maybe if you got CK early and then turned tot he bear, maybe. Clearly, if you take both China and SOV out of the game early, then '45 looks completely different.

I dug them out of the mod art folder...couple years back.

Which particularly are you interested in...I can dropbox them to you or some other method if the links no longer work.
