I believe that Andy Mac had to remove some restrictions on the 'AI' s LCU's to ensure a better 'AI' opponent.

In any event, such a message would model a PBEM game well, because Jap players often set "out of the way and never going anywhere" troops in China or Manchuria or Japan to prep for places like Auckland in order to rattle and confuse the enemy. They hope the prep will show up in the Allied player's SigInt reports. IE, it's disinformation.

I only take note if;

#1. It is one of his 'Spare units', eg. One of the units assigned to Southern Area Army he starts the game with.

#2. Or one of those 'crack' individual infantry brigades he starts with in China.

That's sad, one of the great stories of the Pacific was the Allied codebreaking success. Also, from what I've seen, when you get the "loaded on ship" intel, it is way too late to do anything about it unless you have forces in the immediate area to deal with it. Perhaps a fix will be found for the future.

Yep... in Witp Mk I the scenario designer simply duplicated and triplicated a number of LCU's so Japanese players actually had quite a few more units than they did historically.
