It's official

In the timeline Roosevelt did not run for a 3rd term, and the current American administration under President Gardner is isolationist, with broad popular support (which was the historical political climate of the majority in the U.S. until Pearl Harbor). There was no pro-Chinese trade embargo with Japan...the U.S. is the major supplier of POL to both Japanese Industry and the Imperial Japanese Navy, as was the case historically until 1940. And with the Nationalist not getting support funneled to them from the U.S., the negotiated peace the Japanese sought was probably obtained.

By the way, don't assume some of the other campaigns mentioned in Matt's post aren't in gestation. I would absolutely love to see CHINA too, and Conquest of Ethiopia is a fine example of a PG product which in which armor plays a minor role.
