@Argothair
Japan to French Indochina to India in oob G40 is only 3+3 spaces, which is a big part of what makes the J1 Cow opener so powerful.

In PTV they added sz 132 so Japan cannot move from Tokyo to Kolkata in 2 turns. But the split sz for Truk does keep it 2 turns from there. I do like keeping some troops and a lot of fleet on the west side to keep the Allies at arms length as much as possible.
