They got the bomb dropped on them right? SO I am sure there are alot of 4 armed japanese running around needing some guns and katanas!
I think in the Dust timeline the first nuclear weapon (VK improved) was dropped on Sri Lanka (Ceylon or something at the time) and destroyed 90% of the country, so all 3 super-powers agreed to not use nuclear weapons again. So I doubt Japan got hit with a nuke.
On that note, the incident did make Japan strengthen their ties to Germany and become more officially part of Axis than it was historically, so I don't personally believe Japan will (or rather should) become a faction of their own.
I would like to see more Japanese units for Axis, British, French and Commonwealth units for Allied, and more Chinese units for SSU though (maybe enough to field purely-themed lists of British, French, Chinese, Japanese, or Commonwealth armies).
Back to the topic of the Vrill, I'd definitely like to see them make an appearance sometime soon. They were meant to originally be released only a few expansions in (if that plan was followed we'd have Vrill instead of SSU right now), and it'd make for a very unique force.
The thing I liked about the SSU (and the reason I want to play them the most when I have enough units) was how different they were from Axis and Allied when they first appeared. At the time, the Axis and Allied units were almost carbon-copies of each other, while the SSU completely messed with that before the 2 original factions started diverging (2 Snipers no Spotter for sniper team, anti-walker weapon with command squad, commissars, the first aircraft, air-lifted units, double machine gun / bazooka teams etc)
Now imagine how different Vrill will be. I liked someone's post before about Armour 1 or 2 vehicles with better movement, as there's so far been no Armour 1 or 2 vehicles but just about every other Armour type and value seen so far.
