Just curious - which Major Power is giving the orders for Ho-Chi Minh there?

The communist? No sure I'm following you.

[brian brian]

Yes, the PARTisan unit in French Indo-China, which Major Power controls it?

Appears to be Russia, I guess?

Yes, it's Soviet and it can't move from the hex it's in because the USSR and Japan aren't at war. Strangest partisan I've ever seen.

That's a bug. It should be Chinese controlled...

RAW:
Partisans in ‘red’ countries are controlled by the nearest major
power currently at war with the major power that controls the
country.

I suspect that the program reasons like this. (And that it is a bug)

1) China should control the partisan in French Indo-China.
2) All Chinese partisans are Communist.
3) The Chinese Communists are controlled by USSR
4) Hence the partisan in Indo-China is controlled by USSR.

However, this reasoning is flawed. The main reason, in my humble opinion, is that the rules does not state that all Chinese controlled partisans are Communist. It states that partisans in China are, but this partisan is not in China and therefore the rule does not apply. The partisan should be controlled by the Nationalist Chinese.



RAC: 13.1 Partisans (option 46)
....
Controlling partisans
Partisans in ‘green’ countries are controlled by the major power that controlled their country before it was
conquered (or still control it if it isn’t yet conquered). Partisans in China are always communist Chinese units.
French partisans are controlled by the Free French unless it is completely conquered, after which they are controlled
by the Soviets.
Partisans in ‘red’ countries are controlled by the nearest major power currently at war with the major power
that controls the country. The nearest is the major power whose capital city is closest to the minor’s capital city. If
no major powers are at war with the controlling major power, then the nearest major power on the other side runs the
partisans.
