1. Beitang
The campaign opens with an assault on Beitang and its important railway stations. Chinese troops and warships offer stiff resistance, while the arrival of the Japanese fleet creates new opportunities for your advance.

2. Langfang
Following the victory at Beitang, your core army continues its advance toward Langfang. Secure the key river crossings and protect General Matsui Yanagawe, who joins your core forces during this mission.

3. Tianjin
Cut off from the north, Tianjin is defended by numerous fortifications and strong Chinese formations. As Japanese marines land in the harbor, your core army must overcome resistance in the city with bomber support.

4. Tongzhou
The advance toward Beijing brings your troops into Tongzhou from the east and south. Break through well-defended positions, destroy the Chinese fortress and secure the site so that General Matsui Yanagawe can personally take up position there.

5. Juyong Pass
Rugged mountains, narrow approaches and fortified positions make the advance through Juyong Pass a demanding operation. While your troops open a route through the mountains, the ailing General Matsui Yanagawe must be escorted safely to the hospital in Nankou.

6. Nantong
An amphibious landing opens the attack on Nantong and the surrounding port facilities. Your marines must first secure the designated airfields so that the ground units of your core army can arrive in landing craft and expand the beachhead.("Mission Nantong" is fictional; I have moved it earlier in the timeline and incorporated it into the campaign as a battle. Nantong was occupied by the Japanese from March 1938 until their surrender in 1945.)

7. Luodian
At Luodian, your core army must defend the Japanese positions against attacks by the Chinese 18th Corps. Ensure that all six key positions are in your hands at the end of the mission, retaking any that fall to the enemy.

8. Suzhou
From Jiading, your core army returns to the offensive, advancing on Suzhou and the fortified Chinese strongpoints in the surrounding area. The city and its airfield are important objectives, along with a tank workshop where captured T-26 tanks can be secured to reinforce your troops.

9. Zhenjiang
The advance continues from the Suzhou area through Wuxi, Changzhou and Danyang toward Zhenjiang. Mines, fortified positions and Chinese counterattacks complicate the operation, which also requires you to secure Lishui and two important airfields.

10. Nanking
In the campaign finale, your army advances on Nanking, where nine primary objectives in the city and along its approaches must be captured. Hold all nine primary objectives and bring General Matsui Yanagawe safely to his designated final position to complete the campaign.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Converting this campaign from the original Panzer Corps to PC2 has been quite a challenge and required a great deal of work. Along the way, I encountered numerous difficulties, not least because I originally created the campaign using the extensive unit roster of the PAK Mod.

Unfortunately, some of those units are not available in the standard equipment roster of Panzer Corps 2.

To partially overcome this problem, an additional small equipment mod will need to be installed alongside the campaign. This mod makes several additional units available and helps reduce some of the differences between the two games.

**Yamato '38 – Campaign Overview**

**1. Taian**

The campaign begins with the renewed Japanese offensive in January 1938. Advance toward Taian, capture the key objectives, and prepare for the arrival of ace pilot Setsuo Ishino, who will reinforce your core forces with a new bomber.

**2. Fall of Jining**

Pursue the retreating Chinese forces toward the important transport hub of Jining. Capture the city and two fortified heights overlooking the region, then station troops there to protect your supply lines.

**3. Alarm at the Xuehe River**

Chinese troops have crossed the Xuehe River and are threatening your flank and a vital railway connection. Turn back, secure the crossings, and eliminate an enemy flying ace. Anti-tank specialist Kaito Watanabe will arrive by rail to support your forces.

**4. Formosa**

Inspired by an actual Soviet air raid on Japanese-held Formosa on February 23, 1938, this mission presents a fictionalized defense of the island. Protect the port airfield against enemy saboteurs and use your core aircraft to intercept the attacking bombers. Although the historical air raid really took place, the ground infiltration and defensive battle depicted in the mission are fictional.

**5. The Bridgehead**

The advance toward Tai'erzhuang requires a crossing of the heavily defended Xuehe River. Use combat engineers and artillery support to overcome enemy bunkers, force your way across the bridges, and establish a secure bridgehead.

**6. Tai'erzhuang**

Launch a major offensive against the heavily defended city of Tai'erzhuang alongside General Terauchi's forces. Break through Chinese positions, secure the objectives, and guide the general's troops to their designated assembly areas.

**7. Stop at Jinghang**

Your advance units have captured an enemy supply depot and weapons cache, but Chinese artillery and an armored train threaten their positions. Rush to their aid, secure the nearby bridges, and hold your ground against enemy counterattacks.

**8. Jiujiang**

The campaign continues toward the strategically important Yangtze River port of Jiujiang. Land your troops, capture the city and surrounding objectives, and use naval fire support from the light cruiser Kitakami. The cruiser must ultimately reach the designated harbor position.

**9. Partisan Raid**

Chinese regular troops and partisans launch a major counterattack against your occupied territory, supply convoys, and airfield. Cross the river, restore control of the threatened positions, and hold the key objectives until the battle ends.

**10. Wuhan**

The final mission brings your experienced core army to the decisive battle for Wuhan. Assault the heavily defended city, capture the strategic objectives, and use your bombers to counter the Chinese warships operating on the Yangtze River. The campaign concludes with the battle for this major Chinese stronghold.

A quick note from my end: it’s advisable to install the equipment mod as well, because, for instance, a railway gun appears in the "Bridgehead" mission (I believe there was only one such gun on the Japanese side, and it was stationed in Manchuria—but I figured, why not...!?). I cannot say for certain how the game or the mission will behave if the mod is not installed.

1) The player can carry over their core army from Yamato 37 to Yamato 38. Thanks—2)I had actually forgotten about that, :oops: but I’ve since taken care of it. The link has been updated, and the player can now make use of 3 commander traits.

I’ve located the error; it was in the `campaign.json` file. It’s working for me now, and the link has been updated.

Even though the description for Yamato 38 states an XP cap of 2000, the cap is actually still set at 1000.

Thanks for your feedback; I think I’ve found the error. In the editor, the experience limit is set to 2000, but a faulty Lua script in several missions resets the experience value to 1000 at the start of each mission. I’m currently working on a fix and will update the campaign later today. I didn’t notice this during testing because, whenever I suffer losses, I almost always rebuild my units’ strength without using elite replacements. Best regards, Tobi

The link for Yamato_38 has been updated; I hope that the experience threshold of 2000 can now be reached in all missions. I think an ongoing mission has to be repeated, though. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Another issue—Fall von Jining—is that in square WACHE A1 there is an escarpment that cannot be entered by any ground unit. Either the escarpment needs to be removed, or a road needs to be built there.

Have you tried it from all sides? That’s how I figured it out.
