@wittmann:
AA , Worsham, as Japan starts with a ridiculous 21 Air units.
Not right, in my eyes.
I agree, it’s a swarm of angry hornets.
china starts with 12 IPC cash on hand
by the end of their first turn they have around 15 IPC if they get back their bonus
Last game I tried running with China, just backing up and blocking and eventually stacked 16 plus the flying tiger somewhere up in the North. It did distract a decent amount of Japanese ground units.

For the most part, distraction is all China can do. It allows the British some breathing room against the Japanese. If you’re lucky they can even hold down the mainland for two turns, eating away at the time you have to wait for US reinforcements. In the end, I’ve found them more a nuisance for the Japanese and a mild rear-guard for the Brits.
Its the UK I feel bad for, by turn 3 or 4 they are down to 2-4 IPCs a turn, esp with Jap subs next to India.
