Xian Incident

[ozman2]

There are a lot of inaccuracies in the Xi'an Incident, but perhaps the most blatant is that the wrong leader is slept. Instead of sleeping the co-conspirators Zhang Xueliang and Yang Hucheng, it sleeps a totally unrelated general.
It should read:

}
I also think the game needs to be restructured so that Communist China is much weaker but politically impossible to destroy in 1936 (for example the CPC's nonexistence voids the United front that the warlords would otherwise form to oppose Japan), the Xian Incident occurs on schedule about December 1936 and Communist China gets its full game strength only then. It would correspond more with history.

I agree!
