I did say this was just one possibility, the amphibous operations, the paratrooper use, the interesting terrain features, etc. would make it a fun campign.

Oh come on Smersh, Japan was basically Poland in 1945; it's barely comparable and the Germans weren't with T34/85's and JS-III's either.

If you look at the materials I provided it shows that equipment was not the cause of the lopsidedness (I do agree that it was lopsided), but superior tactics and the same reasons why germany was successful in poland and france. Also I already pointed out the scenarios wouldn't be tank heavy, and this is historically possible to do.

Heck, I played Poland just a little while back and had just as many of my AFV's destroyed as he did (like 18 to 19). Think you can kill USSR armor at that rate as Japan?

how many historical campigns have u played with poland fighting germany in pitched tank to tank battles?

As far as "didn't care much about losses" the USSR histroy is rife with throwing men away as cannon-fodder, such as clearing minefields with penal battalions.

this has nothing to do with the manchurain operations, and lets not get into a big discussion over this. taking only 8,000 casualties out a force of 1.5 million men for the whole of manjuria isn't a example of not caring for lives, in comparison the USA lost 6,000 men out of a 30,000 man force on iwo jima.
I understand its not perfect charles22 but it is a possible possibility
. however being the first red army campign, it should probably deal with a better known more famous aspect of the war. my personal feeling are something involving kursk or stalingrad, but I'll go along with group consensus.
