Of course, that too. But I think of the Russo-Japanese conflicts of the late 30s as being "spillover" from the Japanese attempts to conquer China.

I've been studying the Sino-Japanese air war from 1932-39 and its a huge, untapped area for flight sims. The war zone was even bigger than the Eastern front, and although mechanized and aerial ops were far less intense, total casualties were higher.

I fear it would be almost impossible for Il2 to model, though, due to the very large, densely populated maps needed to do the area justice . Also, you'd need dozens of new ground objects and vehicles, an almost entirely new plane set, and perhaps a better method of modeling boggy or muddy ground.
