Actually, a question first.

My understanding is that a unit, after prepping to greater than 100, starts gaining experience--up to a certain level. So, as IJ, I am looking at my NCPC, RGC units with low experience. Occasionally, I move them from one city to another for garrison purposes. But should I not change their prep target, even though it is not the current town they are in, just to get to that 100 number?

As to Kaifung, I find it interesting what cities turn out to be important. One month in, against the AI, and I find that this town is my jump-off town of choice. Units from Manchuria go to Jehol, get "converted" to different commands, and get strated there.

At that point, we are moving towar Nanyang, eventually targeting Sian. I probably could take Chengchow, but I think I find it more elegent to cut the supply to those units instead.

I pulled out of Iching early and moved the unit over the river--which I am glad I did. About to retake Sinyang.

I realize China is probably a distraction for the IJ player, but I find it fun--and a break from the tedious march down Malaysia.

Basically having a blast. As my first game, and not yet using Tracker (I know it is a great program--but my turns take long enough, and I consider not using it yet another reason the AI may last longer as an intereating opponent)

The consensus seems to be leave initial prep target of all units what they are at the start so you get to the magic 100 as quickly as possible and start gaining xp.
It doesnt matter that they are in one town prepped to 100 for another town, they will still gain xp.

Only change if their at national max or you're planning assault on an important location.

Another tip I found (as allies anyway) is to 'rest' units early on so you recover any disabled squads they have.
It takes a long time to un-disable them and I find it helps you target replacements more efficiently.
