Status: offline 		Has there been any discussion about if WitPAE can model the situation where Japan avoids combat against either the Americans or the British and just goes after the Dutch East Indies? If I play the Japanese and prevent any aggressive actions against anyone but the Dutch, with the Americans and/or British attack me anyway? If this has been discussed here, where and when would be appreciated.

As far as the U.S. reaction is concerned, any realistic simulation would allow the U.S. to enter the war at a time and place of its own choosing rather than the other way round. The U.S. would have the initiative.

And no "simulation" would have the slightest claim to realism if the IJ Player had anything like complete knowledge of what American Forces were where, what their state of readiness was, and anything at all like knowledge of what reinforcements might be available and when. First Turn Surprise should also be a two-edged sword with the possibility existing that once the military geniuses in Japan decide to attack the U.S. that they commit their elite forces to making a surprise attack that turns out to be no surprise at all with resulting heavy and irreplaceable losses.

The hard part would be when those troops show up. Do you wait to have them appear on Jan 1st, Feb 1st, or later?? If your playing against the AI, how do you model this??

It could be also possible to put all neutral nations under Russia (if they have no fixed position), and once any of them will be attacked, whole Russia will activate.
