Soviet Campaigns

Japanise practically had no tanks, and what they have was not on par with russians. They also had no proper AT guns. So to make campain challangeable you will have to fight hordes of infantry and cavalry. Probably wouldn't be fun.

I just keep thinking in terms of 'scenarios' when I see these scripted campaigns, as such I imagine that you could play either side. Besides, I was still talking from the point-of-view that the battles themselves were a bad mis-match, such that even the dominant side might not like it.

Oh, I wasn't saying that one couldn't do a campaign on '45 Manchuria, in fact I've seen some, but what I was saying is that it makes for a pretty poor one if you find some way to really reflect what happened. Fun for the USSR and pretty dismal for the Japanese.

My apologies - I was working from the assumption that the player would be Russian and the AI Japanese. About the only way it would work with a Japanese player would be to create a whole series of delay actions with one or two defends.

If one did go for a Manchurian campaign, you would have to put some pretty tight turn limits on the Russian player.

I didn't understand that nobody could play the Japanese side. A bad game for the AI nonetheless.
