are amazon verified reviews real japan must begin all scenarios with at least 45 brps of units (six factors of armor units; three 3-2, three 2-2 and three 1-2 infantry units; and five aaf) in manchuria. the initial strength of the manchurian garrison may be increased, subject to the requirement that japan must have at least as many japanese and wang ground factors in china as there are nationalist and communist chinese ground factors. the exact infantry unit types indicated must be present.
are amazon verified reviews real if japan ends storm over asia with fewer than six active armor factors, it must substitute specialized units, then infantry, for the missing armor units, on a factor-for-factor basis, up to a maximum of six factors. japan must rectify this situation as soon as possible by building the required armor units at the earliest opportunity and deploying them to manchuria in the turn in which they are built. this expenditure takes priority over any other.
are amazon verified reviews real once a world at war begins, japan may substitute armor units in manchuria, provided its manchurian garrison contains six armor factors at the end of each japanese turn.

in classic a world at war, japan begins all scenarios with 45 brps of units (two 2-3 and two 1-3 armor units; three 3-2, three 2-2 and three 1-2 infantry units; and five aaf) in manchuria. the exact unit types indicated must be present.
are amazon verified reviews real manchurian garrison units may be used without penalty, although a reduction in the size of the manchurian garrison, including the inversion of japanese army air units in manchuria after their use and subsequent redeployment, permits russia to withdraw comparable units from its siberian garrison (81.42c) and may allow a russian declaration of war on japan (81.51b). the zoc of japanese armor units in manchuria extends beyond the borders of manchuria into chinese and korean territory.
are amazon verified reviews real in pacific scenarios, japan may remove 15 brps of units from manchuria for use elsewhere in summer 1941 or the turn in which war breaks out between britain and japan, whichever comes first. japan may not withdraw units from manchuria if this would allow russia to reduce the siberian garrison (81.42b).

are amazon verified reviews real russia must begin all scenarios with a maximum of 45 brps of units (two 3-3 armor units; two 3-2, four 2-2 and four 1-2 infantry units; and five aaf) in siberia. the siberian garrison may not be reinforced by additional russian units until russia has mobilized its first civilian factory. the siberian garrison may be placed in siberia, mongolia and tannu tuva.
are amazon verified reviews real if russia ends storm over asia with fewer than three military counters, one or more active russian gathering storm armor, infantry or air units, as the case may be, become reserve units and russia must build enough units in the first turn of a world at war, or as soon as otherwise possible, to bring its siberian garrison up to full strength. this expenditure takes priority over any other (storm over asia - a world at war transition rule 14.22b).
are amazon verified reviews real storm over asia russo-japanese combat results modify the 30 brp minimum value of the siberian garrison prior to the outbreak of war between russia and japan:
- for each +1 favoring russia in storm over asia russo-japanese combat results, the minimum brp value of the siberian garrison is reduced by one.
- for each +1 favoring japan in storm over asia russo-japanese combat results, the minimum 30 brp value of the siberian garrison is increased by one.

are amazon verified reviews real russia may not reduce its siberian garrison by transferring any of its mandatory two 3-3 armor units, two 3-2, four 2-2 and four 1-2 infantry units, or five aaf to europe until the second allied redeployment phase after at least one of the following conditions is met. reinforcements added to the siberian garrison after russia has mobilized its first civilian factory may be transferred to europe.
are amazon verified reviews real russia and germany are at war.
are amazon verified reviews real japan reduces the size of its manchurian garrison, which it may do at any time. the size of the japanese manchurian garrison is determined at the start of the russian player turn.
- russia may then transfer equivalent forces of the same type from siberia to europe, subject to the minimum siberian garrison requirement of 30 brps of units, including one russian three-factor armor unit (81.43).
- armor fractions are rounded in favor of russia: if japan has fewer than six armor factors in manchuria, a russian 3-3 armor unit may be transferred to europe.
- the substitution of one type of japanese unit for another is insufficient; japan must have five uninverted aaf, six factors of armor and 18 factors of infantry in manchuria at the end of its turn to prevent russia from transferring forces from siberia to europe. specialized units and uninverted land-based nas are counted when determining the brp value of the manchurian garrison, but do not prevent russia from transferring forces from siberia to europe.
example: in spring 1941, japan reduces the size of its manchurian garrison by three infantry factors. russia may transfer three infantry factors, of any type, to europe. if japan had removed one, two or three armor factors from its manchurian garrison, russia could transfer a 3-5 armor unit to europe.
are amazon verified reviews real until russia and japan have gone to war, russia may not reduce the siberian garrison to less than 30 brps of units, as modified by russo-japanese combat in storm over asia (81.41b), and must keep one russian three-factor armor unit in siberia.
