ok, no manchuria campign then, but I would like to see what others say about this one. just to correct a few points, the fighting lasted a week, not 3 days (not a big difference but just of accuracy). don't put all the blame on the japanese tanks, its no small feat to attack an area the size of western europe, under horrible terrian and weather conditions.
I still think though, that the built up terrian and swampy terrian will make for interesting infantry fights. there was considerable fighting too, 80,000 men dying in one week is not a picnic. a similar campign I would point to that has a similar lopsidedness, but is still fun is the invasion of norway campign in spwaw.
my statement about the "not caring for lives" was saying that it had nothing to do with the manchurian campign. did u see penal battalions or "cannon-fodder" tactics?

I agree.
