What happened in 1948 was quite different. It was civil war.<br/>
<br/>
We can have a detailed list of instance of ROC army unit, at division and above, going over to the Japanese side during the war. So we can have a better analysis. <br/>

The view doesn't matter ...

For a scholarly view of the politics of the era INSIDE ROC - see China and the Origins of the Pacific War by Yaouli Sun - published by Stanford Univesity Press - and based on declassified ROC archives. This material suggests that ROC ...

<r> Wang Ching-wei's puppet army had the unaltered ROC uniform, just for one reason. Wang Ching-wei simply claimed he, and his Nanking based KMT, goverment and army, was the legitimate one, while the Chongqing-based Chiang Kai-Shek's was not.

el cid,

I have a bunch of first-hand and very detailed material about China Theatre available to me, released by all side of the theatre, the Japanese side, the ROC side, and the China Red Army side, in Japanese Language and Chinese Language. It is true that all of them have quite ...

According to materials released by the War History Research Institute of Japan Ministry of Defense in late 70's,<br/>
Japanese 11th army, the attacking army based on Wuhan had to issue order to withdraw from approaching area of Changsha because they suddenly found they ...

<t> I have to say el cid's above mentioned understanding of the China theatre is largely flawed, to say the least. Wang Ching-wei, the number 2 leader of the KMT, never was able to get any significant part of KMT army followed with him to the Japan side. And to say afterward a gigantic portion of ...

Oh yeah, a Guadalcanal paired with AB's map would be perfect&nbsp;[:D]

<t> I agree. Simply none has played this far. So essentially this is not a normal game anymore. It has become the "training ground" of the entire WITP community. We can safely predict some house rules revision would be widely adopted based on lessons learned here. So a good and fair game is highly ...

IMHO, reopening China theatre at this time and in this way, might be seen as kind of opportunitism and not too fair. The Allies should have better way to deal with the difficulties.

I prefered use Ozawa for mini-KB [:D]
