I would never do the Yunnan bid myself, because my personal opinion is that Japan is designed to take Yunnan J1.

Interesting. I personally like the Yunnan move. I feel Japan is way too strong otherwise, both from a historical as well as a playability perspective. If China is an easy cakewalk, Japan won’t have a hard time achieving most of its goals unless the Allies are doing some effective KJF strategy. With the Yunnan gambit, the Chinese are a lot harder to defeat and in some cases can actually become a threat. It is a lot harder for Japan to get going in this situation. The Japanese player has to scratch their head more, and the Allies have more breathing room. This makes the game more fun I find. Also, the game is already imbalanced in favor of the Axis so I think it would be only good to do a move that would help the disadvantaged side out.
