Yeah, my wife had to learn how to field strip an AK and shoot at university. (mandatory) A lot of countries would support Vietnam, but the Government does not want to increase tension with China, so they don't join alliances and have been developing the means to manufacture their own weapons and equipment instead. China have no issue messing with them at sea however, but over land I don't think they have the stomach for it. And there is a bucket ton of Russians now living and working in Vietnam as well, since it's easy for Russians to obtain VISA's to travel there.. I think China has upset enough countries already.

Oh I'm well aware, it was again just something for gameplay not actual realism. And I don't mean Korean War style throwing infantry at objectives, just meant waves of infantry and stuff that attack but still perform to the best of their ability given the context.

I think a campaign could be done if enough liberties are given, I mean this is for entertainment purposes... I imagine a scenario where both sides have sustained heavy losses in a blow for blow kind of engagement that's left thousands of Chinese Marines and Army stranded on Taiwan beachheads as the Chinese Navy sink off the coastline. Xi being determined to salvage the invasion, for his own sake if nothing else, plays the conflict as partially successful and orders his remaining forces to push inward. Chinese have to push inland, knock out remaining enemy AA systems, repel counter-attacks to avoid being driven back into the sea, cause havoc etc, while Xi has his generals scramble to get reinforcements and supplies to Taiwan beachheads. Taiwan obviously have to prevent the Chinese from succeeding, so the campaign has various mission types, attack, defend etc. Eventually, despite their best efforts, Taiwan fail to stop the Chinese resupplying and reinforcements being to trickle in, this triggers Japan and US Marines to get involved, Australia too, (of which all three will be DLC $$$$) and now you have various conventional and asymmetrical battles going on all over the place. And as a new edition to the series, it can include Horde Mode, which actually takes place on a small Japanese island that Japanese Marines defend, savage combat against waves of Chinese Marines and Army, and you can upgrade your Japanese forces as you go on. I'll be waiting for the devs to contact me to discuss my cut hahah but seriously someone needs to do this I'm sure people will play.. heck just make the Chinese faction playable with their own campaign... hmm online play China vs Taiwan.. are we not seeing the possibilities (ramifications) here?!? lol

Really enjoying this game on steam it's fantastic. I would love to play as Taiwan or Japan/US against Chinese invasion forces. Are there any mods/reskins/maps that would suit such a thing? Although I love the Syrian campaigns the last few years with all the strategic focus in the pacific I have grown tired by the fact that pretty much all modern warfare games are still dealing with terrorists or middle east wars, I want something more current or at least evocative of current situation.
