Intelligence has detected a buildup of Soviet forces along
the Manchurian border. An attack may be imminent. You are
charged with defending the province of Manchukuo should
the Soviets be foolish enough to launch an attack.

the Japanese Kwantung army is not what they were,
as many of the most experienced warriors and their
equipment have been drawn off to fight for the Emperor
in other theaters. You will have to make due with
the conscript forces that have been raised in their place.


The Soviet operation to capture Manchuria has been
titled "August Storm" Our Intelligence forces report that
the enemy is substantially our inferior in men, equipment
and airpower.  Your forces should be more than sufficient
to achieve all of your objectives.  Of particular
importance is the capture of Port Arthur, stolen from
us over 40 years ago in the Tsarist war against the
Fascists.
