The Japanese
Your force is a flying column
of Imperial Japanese troops under the command of General Sushi Miyagi. Your
mission is to cross into the Gobi Desert as a reconnaissance force, with the aim
of linking up with a Japanese agent, Captain Kagemusha, who has been operating
in disguise on an intelligence gathering mission in Outer Mongolia.
As such, the mission is highly
sensitive and clandestine, although you have successfully evaded detection thus
far due to the small size of your convoy and the clever use of camouflage,
night movement and counter intelligence, not to mention bribing the various
tribal leaders along the way with gifts. You suspect, however, that your
presence may soon stir up a hornet’s nest.
Your force is sufficient to
ensure that it can easily deal with any potential threat, having an armoured
car, heavy machine guns, a battery of artillery and an attached reconnaissance aircraft.
Your troops are also of high morale and very well trained, so more than a match
for any potential opposition that you might encounter.
You also have a considerable
asset in the form of Captain Kagemusha who
has been sent ahead on a secret mission to Urga. Captain Kagemusha is an expert
in the customs of the region and speaks numerous local dialects. He has
travelled extensively in China and Mongolia and has many useful contacts and a
detailed knowledge of the lie of the land.
