Been a while since I played.

In Ae, what are the Japanese starting bonuses/advantages? When do they end (3/31/42)?

If I remember correctly IJA units get to go to 100% prep for any target.... But not sure if I remember correctly!

Thanks for the newbiesh question

Amphibious bonus - faster unloading with no prep needed.

All units get to go to 100% prep - it just takes time.

There are several other time-limit maluses Allies get that can also count as early bonuses to Japan - like ineffective US torpedoes, lower ASW and naval gunnery ratings.

I think lower is a misnomer here. The allied ASW and gunnery are roughly the same as IJ at the game start. The allies get significant ASW boosts in '43 and then again later. They also get a naval gunnery boost during the game. Both of these are hard wired into the game. The IJ gets neither boost. The boosts are related to technical advances that were made AND implemented during the course of the war. The IJ historically never really implemented any significant advances in either area.

Yeah, I meant lower compared to later
