Have Italy bomb the airbase just before Germany attempts invasion.
Harder in Balanced mod because interceptors roll at a 2 and there are likely no escorts.
If USA lands a bomber in Amur and Japan attacks that bomber with their own bomber, does Mongolia trigger? Thanks in advance.

I would believe so. Don’t hold me to that, though.
Japan and Russia have to already be at war. Otherwise, Russia is still neutral on the Pacific side so the US can not land planes on Russian territories.
To answer your question, YES. Any attack made by Japan on a Soviet territory that borders Mongolia will cause Mongolia to join the Soviet Union, even an attack made by just aircraft.
Also, from a penalty standpoint, there’s no reason for Russia not to declare war on Japan on R1. Declaring war doesn’t require them to make an actual attack, but it does open their territories up for friendly occupation, making it that much more obnoxious as a US bomber base.
