After two failed offensives by the joint Jap-Manchu elements in May and July, the Japanese-led forces dug-in on the eastern banks of the Halha (Khalkhin Gol) river, a few kilometers west of a small village called Nomonhan. There are many new sounds, you will recognize some sounds from other mods, notably Stalingrad Both sides have a wide array of light tanks and armoured cars.
