The Phillippenes is its own nation, with the US exersizing a good deal of control...
Island hopping can be a chore, but I find that the Japanese usually don't defend their islands too well if I'm coming in as the US.

No, they are more interested in attacking the Netherlands and of course China, it seems.
I noticed that the Japanese were pretty sluggish and went after the US islands. They never did declare war on the Philippines...
Yes, reading the AAR's it does seem that the Japs go after the Nederlanders quite often. Has anyone seen if this is the case in the 1941 campaign?
So the Japanese dont DoW on the Philippines? That is really odd. Are you guys playing Ahistorically? Or is this a bug?
I played historically. I've only gotten to that point twice so far, though, so I can't say truly how often they DoW the Philippines
I can re-confirm that Japan loves China and the Dutch East Indies.
They'll start trying to inhale China whole, take quite a few months (up to a year or so), and get everything except the far north-western part of China and stop there. Usually simultaneously they'll declare war on the Netherlands and slowly gobble up Indonesia from all possible angles...

Thanks for all the help guys. Im 100% hooked on getting this game. However Im gonna try to work my best so that the Winter war and The Fall of the Phillipines are depicted realistically.
Btw, has anyone had a Pear Harbor yet? How did it work out?

Usually America is very passive when it comes to Japan, and there usually has to be a Pearl Harbor type of event to get them to go to war. 
How does america repsond to Japanese aggresions in China and the durch east indies?
I do know there's an event for the Nanking massacre that gives the US 10 percent more population support for war.
I've actually noticed that the Allies' war entry score goes up quite a bit due to Japanese aggression... it just takes a while. While playing my game as Germany, before I'd had the Anschluss with Austria, the Japanese in China had made the British/French war score a little more than double (from about 30 to about 70).
What seems to be the Japanese attitude towards Australia?
Oh and, could someone do me a favor? Tell me what the OoB is for the US in the Philippines in the 1941 campaign?

Hey, Mannerheim, I just moved away from St.Louis. What part of town do you live in?
If you want historical accuracy in the pacific theater, that might be a bit much to ask of the AI. All of the island groups can be confusing and I doubt the AI would recognize the importance of certain islands.
If your real concerned about the Pacific Theater, try setting up a MP opponent and have one play US and other Japan.

Japan going after China and the Dutch East Indies seems pretty consistant with what happened IRL. After the US cuts off oil and steel Japan is desperately trying to look for resources to continue to fuel its growing Empire. Of course China was just standing in the way of a Pan Pacific Japanese led Empire.
uhmm why is the Phillipines independant? They didn't become independant until after World War II in 1946.
They're a puppet state of the US.
The whole story behind it was explained in another thread, but I forget where it is.
