It's a false dilemma to say the US had to either invade Japan or nuke Japan. Japan would have surrendered if offered even semi-reasonable terms.

The claudes won't resize because groups won't resize on the turn they transfer on to a ship. You will be able to resize them tomorrow.

I like to set them, because it lets me visually inspect the map for gaps in my search coverage. Random arcs don't show at all.

I don't like to post my anecdotes, because I think confirmation bias fucks with our memories.

I don't know that answer, but there are premade region files included that you can import to set up regions.

Has anyone made a timeline for the important allied naval arrival and withdrawl dates? I searched, but my fu was weak.

Would you be willing to play Scenario 002 Hakko Ichio?

The US sails a carrier through the straits, and then calls Iran provocative when they conduct a test in their own territorial waters. That's pretty ballsy.

Japanese AA regiments have "visual search" and "sound observer" devices, which are both treated as radar with really bad stats. Later in the war they get upgraded to actual radar sets with better detection range.
