?

On my Pacific 1940 second edition map both Hainan and Formosa exist as territories.

The far less important island was , so as not to offend the Chinese.

My apologies friend.

I’m sorry, but now I’m really confused. My understanding is that the island of Hainan was called Hainan internationally during that time period and, alongside all other original Chinese territories in the game, was captured by Japan after 1930. The game has a territory called Formosa. I do agree with calling Manchuria Manchuko though.

They deliberately circumvented that whole thing by not having Formosa represented ( and therefore any politics) and representing this Hainan instead. Just my Opinion. I suggest the whole thing just be called Formosa ( and Manchuria being referred to as Manchukuo). Just leave everything in regard to what things are called and who owns what, go the Historical way. Thats all im saying

? Nobody’s saying Formosa should be Chinese (and it isn’t under out of box rules). barnee is asking for Hainan to be Chinese. Hainan was only conquered by the Japanese in 1937 alongside the other original Chinese territories.

@barnee Maybe you can ask The Captain to make Hainan originally Chinese in his house rules.

Formosa can never be “chinese”. You might as well make the area east of Turkey including parts of Russia, India all part of China because Gennghis khan once owned it.

I guess the game designers didn’t want to overcomplicate the rules by adding this as an exception.

yea pretty slim.

Only reason I brought it up is because ANZC took it in the Capatain’s mod, it’s worth a buck there and UK had to fall back to India leaving the Flying Tiger in Burma by itself. Rest of China already conquered.

Would give it some temporary safe haven.

It was more of just was it originally Chinese to begin with. The way Shantung and Kiangsu are. Seems no reason it shouldn’t be.

Obviously it’s not gonna change :)

Even so, why would China move units there? It isn’t worth any IPCs.

While Hainan is Chinese, I don’t really see a reason to make a Chinese core when it has no effect on gameplay. I personally vote no.
