VICTORY CONDITIONS: Japanese win if
they have four or more undisrupted units on
the east side of the 4501-5221 river and north
of the 5222-6122 hex line, inclusive. If there
are between one and three Japanese units
that fulfill these conditions, the game is a
draw. If there are no undisrupted Japanese
units that fulfill these conditions, the game is
a Russian victory.
SPECIAL RULES: All Russian infantry
enter the game mounted in APC's.
mSTORICAL NOTES: The battle of Halha
River, sometimes called the Nomohan
Incident or Khalkhin-Gol Affair, occurred
during the undeclared war between Russia
and Japan in Mongolia during 1939.
Elements of the Japanese 23rd Division had
been badly mauled by Soviet forces for the
preceding three days. The Japanese forces
attempted to retire across the Halha River
during 4 July, 1939. Russian forces,
including 11th Tank Brigade, 7th Mech-
anized Brigade and the 24th Motorized Rifle
Regiment, attempted to intercept the
Japanese force and destroy it.
In extremely heavy fighting, the remnants of
the Japanese 23rd Division succeeded in
withdrawing behind the Halha River.
Casualties were heavy on both sides.
Although the 23rd Division was saved from
destruction, losses in Japanese armor were so
high that the Japanese never again
committed armor against the Russians in
their undeclared war.
