On the HOI2 wiki they have some troop numbers for china and japan. Japan would have trounced the chinese. One thing they don't model in the game is how disorganized even nat chi was- it was made of feuding warlords just like the whole of china was. Japan simply stopped its advance.
Take for example, manchuria. The japanese, outnumbered 3:1, took the entire place over in 5 months. China was bigger, but the well prepared japanese army could destroy the disorganized rabble there. Global opinion was that china would lose the war. Why not have DAIM prove them right? I would like to see DAIM improve NAT CHI AI, so there's a fighting chance, but china would under most circumstances lose.
I like it so far. The british are putting up a tough defense in ethiopia, the suez better guarded (but not well enough to stop my Level 3 armor tanks with H-arm attachments) though gibraltar was pathetically under-defended when natspain attacked them, though that was Day 1 of the war. But I like that to a certain degree: The british had alot of assets and only so much to defend them with. Had mussolini thrown all he had at north africa instead of greece he could have had the suez.
In the future, could you make it so if Nationalist Spain joins the axis the AI starts massing in gibraltar? Make it take the entire spanish army to pull them out of there. But don't make them mass such absurd amounts like 94 divisions... did they have those sorts of assets after the fall of france? I would think the british could defend the homeland and the commonwealths but none of the colonies with that much in gibraltar.
