Another book I would recommend are the memiors of the infamous Colonel Masanobu Tsuji.

It's been published under a myriad of titles, first in 1954 as 'Singapore: The Japanese Story' or more recently as 'Japan's Greatest Victory/ Britain's Greatest Defeat.' While focusing mostly on the Malaya campaign, it does contain a lot of information of Japanese war planning in China and elsewhere.

Typhoon: You seem to be the graphics man here - I noticed that the zip Patine posted has what look suspiciously like darkened versions of my unit icons. I'm guessing this is a consequence of the png beta correction problem with IE mentioned first by Catfish. If you PM me your e-mail address I'll send you the unadulterated originals

I'm not the graphics man, Jimmy is. Here is the lightened units.bmp, which I have tried correcting with some of your units. If Patine and yourself could kindly take a look, and change whatever needs changing, we'd all be very grateful.
@ Patine
Yes, he is the author.

Patine:
A few more suggestions:
1) In certain locations perhaps have oil in abundance (such as in the Dutch East Indies, etc). In addition to the gold the Jap player could obtain by capturing those cities, he can also gain oil (in the form of shields) to produce more units. If this oil resource is mined, it will yield even more shields...
2) In addition to the "oil" resource, you could also have "tin", "gold", "iron", etc... that would make it doubly attractive for the Jap player to secure certain areas...

They could also produce more trade rather than most shields, giving the japanese more money to buy stuff, and also making trade routes between those cities and the japanese mainland more lucrative in terms of trade per turn that the route gives.Indifference is Bliss

Rubber as well..

Commodities such as rubber, tin, gold could yield more trade.
These areas would be worth fighting over and developing...
Of course, these would also be areas that the allies would be trying to re-take, to shut down the Japanese economy ...

Here are the correct brightness/contrast originals. I really want whoever is in charge of the unit graphics file to replace the darkened/MGE versions with these.

I agree with the resources idea, save that it gets kind of tricky when you can't place resources yourself. However, I can give it a go.
If you have to boost trade bonuses, check with Kobra as to how he does it in Blitzkrieg 36. Payoffs in the 3000 (non-demand) to 6000+ (demand) range are common when Asian (Japanese) freights arrive in New York (disarmed but deliberately left in hostile American hands). Your numbers would likely be quite a bit lower because both the home and delivery cities are Japanese and the Japanese will have discovered Flight.
In addition, you may be able have certain resource rich cities generate cash every month as long as Japan holds them. I know that Techumseh can do it in TOT, I don't know if it is possible in MGE.Excerpts from the Manual of the Civilization Fanatic :
Money can buy happiness, just raise the luxury rate to 50%.
Money is not the root of all evil, it is the root of great empires.
