*This was the earliest Nomonhan clash and involved more Mongolian Cavalry, Soviets & Japanese so naturally I had to play this.

*The problem with this scenario as historically the Japanese attacked with not enough forces expecting to face only border troops and Mongolians but the Soviet were ready for them with regular troops but the scenario had victory condition I thought either side could win.

*The game started off pretty badly for the Japanese as believe it or not the Mongolians had a successful cavalry charge and the dug-in Soviet troops had some very nice dice rolls as the Japanese rolled up adjacent to them on both maps 7 & 8. Then the Soviets reinforcements kept coming on at a steady pace. Soon the casualty rate was about even but the Japanese also had four units that were surrounded giving the Soviets a minor victory by one point.
