[Can someone help me with taking nanning?]

Early/mid game I seem to be unable to ever take nanning with the Japanese. Does anyone have any videos of the opening moves of the game or such so I can see how this is successfully done. I keep getting bottlenecked in china the whole game as the Japanese. Currently I have everything southeast of china including Australia but I'm hopeless against the Chinese. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

[Historical Flags mod?`]

Does anyone have a link to a historical flags mod? I couldn't find one in the repository or though google. Thanks in advance if anyone knows of one.
