Eyes Walter rail road warily, Hmmm does the Japanese Railroad connect to the Trans Siberian Railroad somewhere before it gets to Vladivostok.

I comment on ships and ports because both sides are apparently using Subs, mines, and small Destroyers to interdict each other's Sea Lanes of Control [SLOC] since at least one side is also using airpower during daylight hours then the other is conducting naval operations after dark.   Mines don't care what flag a vessel fly's and after dark it is kind of hard for a sub or destroyer to Identify a ship unless the ship is sailing with lights on and flag painted in 14' on its side.  [US did this in WWII prior to entering the war.]

I don't remember either side declaring a naval blockade of the other ports but to be honest "looking at the orders they are sort of carrying such an action out."

Holland and Russia can arrange aid overland through the Mongolian RR. Contact Blooded or me for details.

Funny this should happen to one of my boats. You basically summed up the way I die most often in Silent Hunter  ;D
You smug-faced crowds with kindling eye
Who cheer when solider lads march by
Sneak home and pray that you'll never know
The hell where youth and laughter go.

Target Fixiation is quite ofter a problem for Big Game Hunters, Sub Skippers, and Fighter Pilots....

The Big Game Hunter keeps squeezing the trigger and wonders why the gun dont go bang with the 12 point buck 50 yards away and in the cross hairs.... [Slow down breathe slowly... oh and disengage the safety :) ]

Sub skippers get the Capital Ship in their sight and they sneak in and sneak in and forget to look around at all the Destroyers sneaking up on him....

Fighter Pilots.... when chasing an enemy fighter keep checking the rear view mirror the enemy had a wing man or two and the just might be hunting you while you are hunting your target.
