Hi,
Attacking player loses the sea battle. What happens to the attacking transports?
Are they destroyed or do they retreat?

@panther said in China - placing new infantry:

Every power that will not be attacked and that maximizes (or at least tries to maximize) their IPC gains and unit builts will be able to achieve huge amounts of units

Yes, you are very right.
My point is just that the China rules to me are very unclear (in terms of Mobilize New Units)
And that you can just over come the “max three or more rule” by moving China’s units and make space for the new units.

Thought I misunderstood the rules, but seems like it’s not the case because basically we are on the same page in terms of the rules I can see.

@panther said in China - placing new infantry:

at one point of the game not be able to place further new Chinese units.

How so?
In the Noncombat Move phrase China can just move around units and leave territories empty. Then in the Mobilize New Units phrase the territories left empty can be deployed at.

If this is possible it gives an infinite number of units to China.

@panther Thanks a lot :)

Assume China is not attacked and hold all possible territories. Then its 4 units per turn. That quickly adds up.

As I see it the max 3 and more rule when units are being placed does not make sense (according to my example above)

Hi, this is my first post on the site. Looking forward to contributing going forward.
I don’t understand the rule for placing infantry with China.
1 new infantry for every 2 territories (rounded down).
New infantry can’t be placed on territories with 3 or more Chinese infantry.

Now to the part I don’t understand.

Assume Japan controls Ningxia and China has 3 units on Chinghai, Sikang, Hupeh, and Suiyuan - meaning 12 units all attacking Ningxia. China wins leaving Chinghai, Sikang, Hupeh, and Suiyuan unoccipied. According to the rule China can now place new units on these territories because they have 0 units.

This means China is able to get a huge amount of units.
Is there something I’m missing?

Thanks
Thomas
