@MEGAEINSTEIN:
The japanese flags are missing on chinese territories
We don’t find the need to place Japanese flags on the Chinese territories that Japan starts the game with. Reason being they are shaded in orange and have Japanese units on them. If the Chinese (or allies) manage to break through and start liberating them, then we would make adjustments. We have also found the Japanese markers to be in short supply if they become Godzilla.
**Please also keep in mind that these set-up pictures I did are from December, 2009. They are from the original set-up that has had major changes over the years to what is now the the 2nd edition game (Alpha+3 for the most part). These pictures are very outdated now unless your playing the original game OOB.
