Partisans in Ceded Territories?

[unmerged(141135)]

I am playing Japan from 1936 and am finding China to be a tougher slog than I anticipated as of New Year's Day 1938. I can win where I concentrate my forces, but most provinces won extend my lines and disperse my forces faster than I am building new ones. I control Beiping and the Shanghai/Nanjing region (with its beautiful airport), but lack uncommitted reserves to expand elsewhere and the partisan map mode glows red hot.

China has offered peace with territorial concessions three times and I have turned them down. I am beginning to wonder if I should accept the next peace offer. My question is: does partisan activity cease in provinces that are ceded by peace treaty? If yes, would partisan activity pick up again should the war resume at a later date?

Actually once you fully occupy some territory the partisan rates are going to jump even higher.
In some patch they made it so that partisan rates drop 1% each month until like 1-2%.
I suggest you take some troops, any troops and leave them thinly spreaded over the occupied territory only taking out any revolts if there are any (pay special attention to those places where you keep your aircraft or you will lose them all). Player should almost always be able to kick AI Chinas ass, and then when Chinese surrender fires in you can choose as you wish and then continue from that.
edit: No need to leave much forces defending since Chinese won't attack too much and should lose easily to your superior troops.

Japan has about 40 Garrisons that could be equipped with MP brigades and used to suppress Partisans in your rear areas... what else are you using them for? Guarding islands against the non-existent Chinese Navy?

Thanks

Thanks, guys. I confess that there were a lot of garrisons out there in the middle of the ocean learning to surf--they're on their way to the real war now.

Which has gone better the during the first half of 1938. I'm finally getting the hang of slow motion encirclement by infantry, either striking at two provinces simultaneously to create a pocket or by baiting the Chinese into retaking a province that becomes a pocket in short order.

Just send them to South Pacific to do some Hula-dancing.:rofl:
