However, this can be mitigated by using colonial troops after pupetting China. Am I correct in thinking that Japan's interservice rivalry was especially intense, and if so, why was that the case? To reflect historical realities, Japan begins the game with a number of divisions that begin with experience 2 and weapons 1. If engaging in a landlocked conflict early on, like against China or the Soviet Union, it is advantageous for Japan to first choose an army favouring decision(s).
