Base Game Japan AI question

[Lothos]

I played world but always played as the Axis.

Anyone playing as the Allies, does Japan AI ever do an actual Pearl Harbur type attack?

What other attacks does it have happen on the opening turn of the war with USA?

Yes indeed. The Kido Butai show up with some regularity, though not always in December '41, and stomp on the newly spawned battlewagons at Pearl. In recent playthrus they've stuck around for a turn or two before decamping west.

My current game as Allies is in June of '41 (Modified Expert with +2 Spotting, +1.5 exp and +15% MPPs for the Axis AI) so I'll let you know what happens come year end. Those naughty UBoat Kapitans have been violating the US Security Zone lately so the US mobilization is 56%. Not sure if that figure is at, ahead, or behind schedule.

One possible complication is the arse kicking that Generals, Peng, Feng, Zhu and Xue are delivering to IJA forces in China. We'll see if those losses impact the decision to "Climb Mt. Niitaka" and the subsequent island invasions.

I'm currently updating the Naval War Mod to play nicely with 1.14 but when I'm done with that I shall have a rip at your TRP. Quite a monumental effort there. Keep up the good work

Thanks, I dug through the scripts. First thing I noticed is that they are date related and not tied to anything within the game in case something odd happens. I wonder how the AI does the actual DOW since fleet AI has no ability to do a DOW but the Invasion AI does. I saw the invasions they had, makes me think they are tying Pearl to an invasion to get the AI to do the DOW.
