Russo-Japanese War [for WW1 Mod] for Hearts of Iron III: Their Finest Hour

Background

At the beginning of the 20th century the empires of Japan and Russia were eager to expand their influence in the Far East. In the war of 1894/95 Japan had terminated Chinas supremacy over Korea, while Russia occupied Manchuria in the course of the Boxer Rebellion. When Japan proposed the determination of spheres of influence – a Russian in Manchuria and a Japanese in Korea –, Russia refused. So war began with a Japanese surprise attack on the Russian naval base Port Arthur in February 1904.

The Russo-Japanese War was a prelude to the Great War a decade later. There were trench warfare and barbed wire, field telephones and machine guns, artillery barrages and torpedo attacks. In this scenario you are in command. Control the Japanese sea power and destroy the Russian battle fleets in giant naval battles. Or lead the Russian army to bloody victory on the hills of Manchuria.
