You said, "Of course, most of the terrain they fought on didn't beget
huge
North Africa/Russian Steppe-style tank battles, either." Someone pointed
out
that they fought in Manchuria and Korea, large chunks of land in
themselves,
much of which is conducive to tank operations.

So, the question now becomes one of how much terrain is found in
Manchuria and
Korea versus Burma, other parts of Indochina, and all the islands that
the
Japanese fought over. Or, how much is "good tank terrain".

Regardless, before someone starts counting up square miles of tank
friendly
terrain, could you guys take it off list?
