Something to consider with the Great War addition:
I was Japan, assisting NGF in a war vs France/Austria. I had a large portion of my army in Germany, to assist in that front, but NGF eventually took defeat. When that happened, my navy was entirely deleted (I assume a penalty for losing a Great War). The forced disarmament meant that I couldn't build new transports. The net result was that ~80% of my army was stuck in NGF for 5 years. Any chance this navy deleting could exclude transports in later versions?
PS, love the Great War add on, had 2 so far in the other Russia got reamed by Austria, lost 2-3 provinces. Then the rebels hit leading to 6 countries being released, and the formation of the Soviet Union.
