ORIGINAL: Andrew Brown I would like to repeat a suggestion I made previously. While I agree that the Chinese should be provided with extra forces if they are under-represented currently, it might be a good idea to make some of their ground forces static. This would enable them to defend more effectively, but prevent the Chinese turning into an unrealistic "Yellow Steamroller" later in the war. Making some of their forces static would be a good way of representing the disorganisation, factionalism and outright civil war that existed in China at the time. Seems like the best way to do this is little bits of supply at each base Andrew ... it gives them enough to defend (which is less supply intensive) but not enough to go on rampage. Anytime you make something static, you doom it to being cut off and killed. I would do both. Have additional forces, some of them static, and a small amount of intrinsic supply in the same locations. Remember that the static forces would be additional forces on top of what China already has. China won't be weaker as a result. So this is an attempt to make China harder to overrun, which I think is making the game more realistic, without handing them too much offensive power. As others have mentioned, if you give the Allied player a powerful China most will use it to the maximum extent possible, no matter how unrealistic that would be.
