I used the path option to make a big cross where it is on Google Earth and then used the surrounding border shapes to determine where it is on the big map... and after having done that, it is even further into Indian territory then I originally thought.
To be honest I've never really looked at the Indo-Burmese border in detail and compared it. I assumed it was historical but obviously not.
I don't know why it differs from OTL*. Perhaps Rocky can provide some detail or reasoning?
*I assume its due to the general feast the players had off the European powers that were NPCs at the start of the game. Several bits of Britain's empire seem to have gone that way!

The track will start in the Burmese port of Rangoon and run over Suida

through the valley of the Salween River

Jingdong and Jiang Hong to Simao.

And in my eyes ... we are only on burmese territory or ??

I would not want to think of the cost of building this railway though. There is a reason why the map annotates this route as "aber nie verwirklichte".
I haven't done the research on it, but I thought using rockets (or artillery shells) to drop mine bomblets was more of a 1980s technology. Can you please provide supporting evidence that it was possible during the 1940s?
The Feilong-System is based on the OTL Katyusha-Weapon-System.
About the range ... the OTL BM-13SN (World War 2 weapon) had a range of 11.8 km so i would say my 13km are not too unrealstic. Also the OTL Henschel HS-293 (another WW2 weapon) had a range of 18km so my 20km are in the same area.

As for the Henschel Hs293, that is an air-launched anti-shipping weapon, whose operational performance was far less than the figure you cite. Please see.
Comparing it, an air-launched glide weapon, with a ground-to-ground bombardment rocket, is irrelevant.

it looks like a 20km rocket is too modern for an antique and antiquated China i have to play here in wesworld.

I doubt it is too modern for antique and antiquated China alone. I am pretty sure that it is too modern for the other nations as well, including those who, in the news, are quite busy with elaborate rocket programs, launching them into space.
