I'm posting this pic to show state of Manhchuria at beginning of JA 41. These are the starting positions for the units that are taking "free" moves to occupy Manchuria. They'll use "free" moves to get back to these positions if possible. Or if they need to start moving to railheads before they get back to these positions then they'll use one of the 5 allowed combined impulse moves to get to a hex that's "reachable" within 1 move from their free move starting spot. I hope this makes sense. I had to go find an old save game to find this pic so I wanted to post it here for reference.
