Scramble to Kwangtung and/or SZ20?

Note: Adding a US TT and Inf & Arty to SZ20.

[Gorshak]

@ArtofWar1947
3 fig scramble to kwangtung. OOL inf first

Btw. I tried to figure out what happens to the factory when China occupies Kwangtung.
The territory will surely be occupied as India is out of the game. But the rules seem to imply that the IC will stay (but unusable by China) as Kwangtung is UK-India territory and not Chinese

If a Japanese industrial complex is built on a Chinese territory and that territory is later recaptured by the Chinese or liberated by another Allied power, the industrial complex is removed from the game.

[ArtofWar1947]

@Gorshak

I figured a Chinese capture of Kwangtung would not destroy the mIC but only serve to keep Japan from building there Round 16.

Was hoping Marti would be kind or at least even-handed in the Kwangtung attack. Need to rethink the Ally NCM.

scramble decisions west of Gibraltar.

Also any special OOL?
Shall we do the big naval battle round by round?

Also as I am still on a road trip during the upcoming week I might take a moment longer to roll the dice.
