Defo Japanese emergency reinforcements triggered by this Olorin.
The Japanese part of Sakhalin is country code 101, just like the Kuriles and all the small islands surrounding the main four islands of Japan. The main part of Japan is code 100.
In my game the Russians invaded southern Sakhalin and the US is in the Kuriles - no reinforcements for the Japanese. I am playing Scenario 1.

In my game (Scen 2), I invaded Parashimo-Java and the one next to it in May '42
My opponent said it triggered the emergency reinforcements and my Signit has identified "Depot Divisions"

But never forget Esperance [:D]
Keep this up and I'll demand a rematch to set the record right. [:'(] John 3rd had taken western Australia from me and I had taken it from Gen Patton.
Right now I'm doing two restarts (Gen Patton and 1EyedJack) due to Japan's economic parameters being messed up in the Editor somehow for BTS Lite. HI was requiring twice the normal fuel input. [X(]

AH-HA! Mystery maybe solved. I just landed troops on Paramushiro Jima (most of the rest of the Kuriles are already taken) and this same turn the Japanese got their Depot division reinforcements.
I re-checked the country code and it is impossible to see the last digit of the code because of the position of the Japanese unit there. I thought it was code 101 like the rest of the Kuriles but it must have been code 100, and therefore a trigger for the depot divisions. BTW I am in August 1942, so it appears there is no "date delay" set on this trigger, unlike the kamikaze delay to 1944.

That sounds like a map (pwhex data) error.

Don't know how that would arise. I am playing stock scenario 1 and have not changed the game maps - not even for the one with stacking limits.
Can someone else check their scenario one for the country code on P-J? Press the "4" key to see the country codes.

Not by you, by the scenario designer. I'll bet that at one point the Kuriles were the same country code as the main islands, but then were changed. Only they missed one. That's just a guess of course.

IN scenario 1, Paramushiro-jima and the tiny island to the East of it( no base ) are marked as country code 100.
All of the other islands and the Japanese hexes on Sakhalin are marked as 101.

Thank you both. Because PJ is the only Kurile island with a fortress, I suspect the code was set as a trigger on purpose. Unfortunately for the Japanese, the Allies have intel on that now!

How are your aircraft pools holding up? I always find that Spring/Summer of 42 that I feel a pinch that only is alleviated in the fall when the P-40K and new P-38 model arrives.
