    @ghr2:

    I would think the the commies do not have a capital, just like nationalist.  They only way they can be liberated is if soviets take some chinese territories.
    ––But the COMMUNIST CHINESE do have a capital,….it is called Pingliang and it’s marked on the map as such.

    How so?
    ––The Capital of each country is clearly visable,…whereas simple territories are dull colored and not as vibrant.

  • I agree with Tall Paul. Their’s been many discussions with this issue. Do they get the 3 icp’s a turn or place 1 infrantry in Pingliang every turn. I believe you have to put the 1 inf in Pingliang only do to it being a Capital not like Nat, China.

    If Pingliang was able to collect 3 icp’s for control of there 2 territories and any empty Nat. China Territories then they would be able to buy artilliary. But I don’t know if they had any during the war.

    CWO might know.


  • Can we get an official ruling?


  • If the Capital of Pingliang falls the only way to get Capital back is Russia retaking it. Then Comm China can build 1 inf per turn. The 1 inf per turn is the official rule.

    Russia liberates Comm China. No other ally. If another ally, including Nat China, takes back a Comm Chinese zone it isn’t liberated it is taken.  hope this helps you guys out a little.

    ––I COMPLETELY understand the above.

    ––My ORIGINAL question was if after having had ALL of it’s units & territories killed or captured,…
    Do Communist Chinese forces “magically or otherwise” re-appear in a territory after it’s being abandoned by the Nationalist Chinese?
    –It doesn’t sound “logical” to me, but the rules as they are written are open to wide “interpretation” and I just wanted to nail down this answer.

  • If they are totally destroyed, they can rebuild after Pingliang is Liberated.

    Agreed and seconded.

    I tend to look at '39 like this: if it doesn’t specifically say we can do something then we can’t, or we refer to the latest Axis and Allies Global rules to fill in the gaps.

    EG a country cannot do something “special” like spawn infantry in territories without factories or without their capital unless explicitly outlined in the rules. Otherwise, they just get treated as any other country.

    I don’t think in this case (or many others) we’ll get a rule RE print out on this issue as the focus seems to be on '36. I also vaguely recall tiger stating 7.2 is all she wrote.

    These days, when tigerman makes a ruling I tend to scribble it in my rulebook.


  • How will china work?


  • It should be the same for Nat China. Szechwan falls, China can’t build no more whether they have 3 or more territories worth 3 icp’s or more.
    If it’s liberated then they will get 6 icp’s and any non captured territories and can start building again.

    If they have some money left and Szechwan is captured, they should have to give money to attacker. I would like to try this in a game.

    The rule is as long as they have territories worth total of 3 icp’s or more, they can build and place in those territories.
