Status: offline 		I'm playing my first game as the Axis (after all who wants Nazis to win?) and I'm seeing Chinese partisan activity even though I have unit adjacent to the hexes. It was my understanding that having an adjacent unit was sufficient.

I'm not seeing any other posts about this so maybe I'm wrong or I'm missing some subtlety.

Any ideas?

I'm seeing this as well and seems to be Communist China partisan activity only? But not seeing any affects from it? Just the event?

Correct?

I have been putting Japanese garrisons on them (beyond the ones you need to keep Soviet mobilization down). They don't seem to be taking damage if you have them garrisoned. But I may just be imagining this. If it is inevitable, then that would be great to know so I don't garrison them. Thx in advance for any information.

These other events are in addition to those and unpredictable, but they will only reduce supply so they aren't as much of a pain as proper Partisans.

Not trying to be difficult, but am trying to understand.

Having units beside these hexes doesn't stop them from firing. The manual says they should, and this seems to work everywhere else but China.

Is this expected behavior?

P.S. Love the fact there are P spawn points in more locations now. It gives a real use for garrison units.

Having units against hexes that are Partisan trigger points will prevent Partisan activity, but the scripts for Communist activity are different, they represent sabotage, strikes and go slows, and are therefore impossible to prevent in the same way. They are also contingent, unlike normal Partisan scripts, on Communist China having entered the war.

These scripts can be turned off if desired, by going to Options -> Advanced -> Scripts

Choose the Supply ones, and untick those on pages 3-4 that are labelled Communist Partisan Activity in China

The Manchurian ones are already switched off by default, so it is just these Communist ones.

Bill

I do not want to turn them off, just wanted to understand.

Thanks for the replies; they are appreciated.

Status: offline 		Sorry for necroing, but: Despite having the hexes covered, I get occasional *messages* about partisan activity in Manchuria too, though in fact nothing seems to happen. Could it be that the text messages can somehow still fire even though the actual effects are blocked?

Status: offline 		I think the messages you've seen if all Partisan locations are covered would refer to Resistance Activity rather than Partisan activity?

Resistance Activity in this instance represents sabotage that can't be stopped by placing units there, it just causes disruption to Japanese income and supply.

But wouldn't the disruption of income mean city strength points being reduced accompanied with "explosion" sounds? For that won't happen either. Or doesn't it work like that with WAW?
