Question RE CW setup and US entry option 36

[Aranthus]

The entry option states that Allied units cannot move to Hong Kong or any CW controlled Pacific territory until the option is chosen. However, a clarification states that Allied land and air units can set up in those areas. Does that mean that the CW can set up the Indian infantry in Hong Kong to start the game?

Yes.

The game won't let me do it, citing the provision of the entry option. Could it be a bug?
