Big B -> RE: Update near (10/18/2015 12:36:14 AM)

Update is near completion(8.75). After much play-testing, it is quite apparent that with Da-Babes Gnarly Asian Roads - supply doesn't move enough in China.
The solution I have decided upon is to go back to original B-Mod-WitP theory and enhance Chinese supply, while tying down enough Chinese Corps to keep China from expelling the IJA single-handily.
So now, taking a cue from RHS research, China will be much more powerful and better supplied - but enough Corps are static (unless kicked out of their starting locations) to exclude China from expelling Japan from Chinese soil... unless the Japanese create their own Tar-Baby.
If All the Chinese Army is freed up to move - it will be difficult for the Japanese to hold their gains in China.
Also included in this update is a re-definition OOB-wise of Chiang's Central Army.
The stock model is a 9 Division Corps for all Chinese Corps (much depleted).
Chinese Central Army units are modeled for a 6 Div Corps, (about 84 Div's in all)substantially better trained and led(all the officers were specially Military Academy trained), filled out and equipped at near German trained and equipped levels (though smaller). They also include an inherent field artillery regiment per Corps, as well as a battery of 150mm Mortars (the largest weapon mass-produced in China at the time), and finally some inherent AA capability as well as reccon troops, (remember - these are Corps - not small divisions).
The final result will see a China with a three-tired Army. At the top will be a substantial Chinese Central Army Units(trained by the KMT, quite capable and loyal). Next, run of the mill stock based large corps - very under-strength. At the bottom will be a large number of Chinese Warlord units - all static (un-loyal to the governments dictates- there fore initially static, holding their territory).
Finally, included will be a correction of errata found during play (all minor).
So if you are a fan by chance - hold on for a short wile and I'll announce on this thread - what I hope will be the LAST update.
