I dont know if this can be done, kinda like playing Hearts of Iron, except you cannot choose what to build. Is there a way to make a script that allow events to happen or triggers certain events? Like to play a scenario where you start off at January 1936 to 1948, maybe beyond that.

The problem is that once you start this scenario, it like everyone is at war with you. Conflicts didnt start until July 7th 1937 between China and Japan. USA would have to wait awhile before getting into actions.

Or like what if, compare to War Plan Orange, that everyone is at war. I havent played WPO yet. Have anyone ever tried making something like this???

As far as I can tell this game doesn't have an "event" scripts in the engine where it triggers pop-ups or prompts informing you that an embargo is in place, or that international tensions are rising. However, the biggest issue is that while you can create scenarios that start later in time, I don't think the code allows games to commence before December 7th of 1941.

In addition, I have gotten the impression over the years that most players of this game find the China theater to be a tedious sideshow and wish it could be automated or omitted. Having a scenario that begins exclusively with the war in China probably wouldn't have much appeal to most. And then there is that fact that simulating continental land warfare has never been this game's strong suit.

I will poke around with it and seen what i can do with it.

There is War in Spain now which could maybe be modded to feature something like this. However as of now, I have only seen one scenario mod for it which isn't what you are looking for. Promising engine though

I think the idea behind WiS is that in time it will morph into War in X, War in Y, War in Z etc.

All we need is time (and LOTS of patience).
