RE: Sardaukar's another Newbie Campaign 3rd take)
I would stockpile the Chinese infantry squads but let them take support squads which they need. Then the disabled squads would be more likely to repair as well as the units using less supplies. Once the units reached a certain level of experience, 50+ or higher, I would then turn off all other units replacements and give those units the Chinese infantry squads. The only exception would be the Chinese units that I had already bought out.
Seek peace but keep your gun handy.

All US CVs (Lexington, Saratoga, Enterprise, Yorktown, Hornet and Wasp) are in Sydney or en route.
They will be used in Operations Vegemite, Cartwheel and Anvil. Op Hammer has to wait a bit and will most likely start when first Essex-class CV arrives.
