      I think its just what happens when you need to make a one size fits all system and so ends up happening all their historical games. You create a system that has sensible numbers at one point but it ends up getting weird at another point. And PDX games also have the issue that wars are pretty much always all in affairs, theres no real reason why combat will be limited when troops can quickly be moved around.

    Why 29:40 no Japanese trade convoys in 1838? This is historically correct. During the isolationist Edo period Japan was almost completely introverted, it pursued a policy of almost absolute isolation for more than two centuries. Trade with foreign countries was before 1853 only conducted through Dutch (and Chinese) merchants as an intermediary. For that the Dutch had on a very small island (Dejima) near Nagasaki a trading post from where all of Japan's trade with foreign countries took place. The reason for the strict Japanese isolation policy was the fear in Japan that the country would fall into the hands of the colonial powers. Historically Japan's policy of isolation came to an end in 1853 when an American fleet (commanded by Matthew Perry) appeared on the Japanese coast forcing Japan to open its borders to foreign trade. See the Wikipedia article: Convention of Kanagawa.

    Great stream, Spiff. I'm excited to pick up the game (I think it will be my Christmas gift to myself in a couple months), and play as my homeland of Ontario, Canada, or as it was at this time, Upper Canada. It will be my job to make the largest of Her Majesty's realms into a grand Dominion, unifying all of North America (or both Americas) under the British crown.
