Khalkhin Gol

[Zekedia222]

This is just a question to see how many would like to see a Khalkhin Gol / Nomonhan Incident campaign. Some people made a singular scenario, but I dont think that can accurately represent the entire campaign. It would likely be incredibly challenging from the Japanese side; the forces' strength is greatly unbalanced. The Japanese launched a 73 tank assault, the Soviets countered this with 450 tanks and armoured cars. Yeah, pretty unbalanced. Still have my research and notes on the matter, only have to rebuild the map.'

As long as you don't have to fight 450 Soviet tank units, I'm all in for a Japanese challenge.
3-4 tank units per tank regiment should be enough scale. I also prefer 2 inf and 1 heavy-inf unit per infantry regiment. If there are too many divisions involved, I just leave some away - what is maybe also a good idea for a playble scenario against so many Soviet units.

Those tank and armoured cars were part of several different tank and armoured battalions, so no there is not 450.
Problem is, Japanese had poor AT weaponry. While in this game that is solved by the AT made for artillery, there won't be sufficient AT Weaponry. I may Edit the post to show all units.

That's why I chose a Japanese perspective scenario versus a Soviet perspective scenario. A Japanese perspective would be far more challenging, as opposed to the Soviet steamroller that was the Soviet army at Khalkhin Gol.

Defensive scenarios are always boring if you have superior forces. That’s what makes playing the Finns or Chinese interesting with their lack of own equipment.
I have read some words about this battle, but I have no idea about authentic maps to picture this battle in detail.
