More questions from a new IJ player. . .
The stock scenario begins with the Chinese in control of a few hexes of the Hanoi to Canton railway. If that railway is cleared you can rail transport air units at will from anywhere in Japanese occupied Korea/Manchuria/China to Indochina/Siam/Malaya/Burma and vice versa. Is the game engine smart enough to transfer SE Asian and Chinese resources to Pusan for a quick jump across the Tsushima Stait to the Home Islands?
Without control of the Wuhan to Canton railway this is pretty gamey, but even if the resources accumulated in occupied Canton or Hong Kong, that would be an enormous advantage compared to sailing down to Saigon or Singapore. [EDIT] It would also open a window for an exploit to transport DEI fuel and resources to the mainland and let the railroad take things north to Pusan, effectively fixing a big part of the Japanese merchant shipping shortfall. I've argued why it ought not happen, but I'm curious if does anyway.
