I've started a game as Japan. It did not take long for me to get into a war with China. Anyway I crushed them soundly. I am now at May 1895, I am building five 300 ton destroyers and I have Hainan with some ships stationed there. I am also building four corvettes. Anyway, more in the future. "We have met the enemy, and he is ours" Hopefully.

ANOTHER WAR WITH CHINA, GIVE ME A BREAK. I know the Chinese and the Japanese don't get along, but two wars, that fast. Ich!!! No problem, I will smite them soundly.... again.

Well, I am at January 1914 and have fought China twice, Germany once and am now in a war with Russia. I now have submarines including long range. I have dreadnoughts along with 900 ton destroyers and some fine heavy cruisers. No wonder Japan has economic issues.

It's November 1919, I am now at war... go figure, with France. I am honoring my treaty with the US. We just had a battle and I sank one of their heavy cruisers and two destroyers but I lost two old light cruisers. No problem, the victory was good. Now, the French are not fighting battles, I guess they ran out of ships. I have a new light carrier with fighters, torpedo bombers, Navy patrol and floatplanes along with dreadnought. It going good.
Update: It's the Spanish and the French

oldpop, you traitor! The Dowager Empress is displeased 😉
Japan's a lot of fun. I like to lean into their torpedo advantage, though I tend to overdo it.

I enjoy Japan also, I always build lots of submarines. They generally give me a victory in any war. Japan is a maritime power. Emperor Meji would be proud.
