(War of Liberation)
(War of Liberation)
Nation: People's Republic of China
Difficulty: Normal
Game Version: SF 2.04f
Mod: HPP 2.04
Style: History Book
House Rules:
1) No sneaky invasions of Japanese-held islands. The AI is too dumb to properly use the navy to patrol its homeland and is too dumb to leave a reserve in place, so I won't use gamey tactics like landing an army in Nagasaki or some other large port that's almost always undefended.
2) Manually control navy and special forces. Everything else will be under AI control at the army group level. If I fight against Japan alongside the other Chinese states, then I'll have to control my troops manually when fighting against the RoC due to the Allied Theater sharing bug.
3) Any ships that are built must use components close to the current year. I may not get to this point, but if I do I'll abide by this rule.
I'll be writing this using the history-book style. My first goal is to survive (easier said than done), and my second goal is to reassert control over all of China, possibly including the two breakaway regions of Mongolia and Tannu Uriankhai.
