The Soviets can do one more thing in this war: Strat bomb Japan. Or even do ground strikes. They have some planes with the range.

[composer99]

Red Army Air Force planes can even base in Korea and in Japan. Too bad the USSR didn't have the foresight to build some sealift in 1944 - they'd have been able to participate in the invasion! Of course, they had other, much more pressing priorities at the time.

Yes. That's the plan. However, the Western allies are adamant that no Soviet ground or air troops will be allowed in Japan.

Again, the allies will not allow any Soviet troops to deploy to Japan. Soviet air support is welcomed and even encouraged by the Red Army. Their pilots need the training and it doesn't hurt to put Soviet air power on display. But, no display of air power yet has rivaled the 79 factors of ground support provided by the RAF and USAAF for the allied assault on Ankara, Turkey. Now that was impressive indeed.

Turn 37. Sep/Oct 1945. Axis #11.

IJN Moves.(1) Supply CP to the Japanese Coast. (2) Supply CP to China Sea.

[rkr1958]

Turn 37. Sep/Oct 1945. Axis #11.

USN/RN. China Sea. The supply convoy in the China Sea avoids detection by the allies owing to rain (i.e., would have been found with the allied search roll of 6 in fine weather).

[rkr1958]

Turn 37. Sep/Oct 1945. Axis #11.

USN/RN. Sea of Japan. The supply convoy in the Sea of Japan isn't so lucky. It's found and used as live target practice for allied carrier and naval land based air crews.

Turn 37. Sep/Oct 1945. Axis #11.

Weather. The weather remains the same in the north temperate (i.e., where Japan, China Sea and Sea of Japan are located) but worsens everywhere else. Though, the only action now is in the north temperate.
