I can't see if their infantry is irregulars or regulars. I know they have some artillery so they might as well have a good percentage of regulars as well.

After you get the border incident event, did you wait a day before checking if you had a CB? Sometimes with Paradox games the game needs a refresh after an event before it shows on any info screens and actually effects the game. In EU3 sometimes you even had to wait to the end of the month before things like budget changes would register in your balance... Just a thought worth looking into so you don't gain all that infamy.
Hmm- in the battle screen, holding mouse over different regiments? That doesn't give some insight into units there?
edit: or just save, reload as Chinese and have a look?
Yes. If the nation is civilized it can be annexed if it has only one state.
Chapter XX: “I love it when a plan....falls apart”
My generals have deceived me. This will be a long and hard war, not an easy victory as they had predicted. The first battles ended in a hardfought victory but the Chinese just kept on coming an coming.
As the battle for Jilin was fought I received allarming news from Japan proper, the enemy had invaded and landed on the southern island, close to Nagasaki. The navy had been ordered to keep a vigilant watch on the Japanse, Korean and Yellow seas but the Chinese fleet had slipped past. Surprisingly it was a large fleet, seemed like they had all their ships combined in this one fleet. What else can the Japanese battle-fleet do then sail out and attack in 'kamikaze mode'.
Within a few days I had cornered the Chinese fleet in the Yellow sea and was battering the defenceless enemy with my man o' wars. Having defeated them quickly (without sinking any of their ships and while receiving a little damage to mine in return) I chased them to Port Arthur, putting up a blockade.
What my ships reccon-range revealed in the Chinese coastal areas frightened me, army after army, most up to 30.000 strong, was marching towards Korea ready to counter my invasion. At the same time I wasn't all that happy with the dismal performance of my navy so far. More ships were needed and ordered.
And of course the Chinese invasion had to be countered quickly. I was lucky one of my reserve-forces was in Osaka and able to march out quickly. Their performance was terrible however. The odds were even, I outnumbered the enemy in cavalry and artillery but was outgeneraled and thus suffered my first telling defeat.
In the meantime, in China, I was fighting bloody battle after bloody battle. My confidence had led me to expect my forces would have cut through the Chinese armies like through soft butter. True I could handle them one on one but did not have the three to one ration in skill, training and technology needed to pull this one off. Armies suffered heavy losses and the first battles were lost. Our glories plan for a ride to victory fell apart
The battle on the river Jinzhou was our high-water mark of the early part of the war. After the battle of Jilin the cavalry army had been sent here to ride to Beijing but nothing like it had happened as these 15.000 horsemen had encountered a Chinese army of 150.000 strong and stood their ground waiting for reinforcements of their own. The battle was a terrible one and against odd of 3 to 1 general Togo fought his men to a brilliant victory. My decimated and outfought force had to make a strategic withdraw to the Korean border however. Losses to warrant a further advance had been too high.
More troops had to be trained to replace losses. 37 new brigades were ordered, more would follow shortly.
Ouch, exciting!
Never expected to see the AI perform a naval invasion with such numbers!

You're doomed! Fall back to your forts and dig in!
I imagine that would have been what I would have done immediately once the technology situation hadn't turned out quite as expected. Bleed them try in North Korea, wait for their losses to pile up and hopefully revolts all over China.
Of course, bleeding China dry is a bit difficult, but still easier than keeping up an offensive in enemy territory.
Then again, I've never played V2, so what do I know.
Would it be possible to just fight a couple more decisive fights (in Korea), get warscore of 100 and annex China, although not occupying a single Chinese province?
Could we get a situation report showing the chinese strengh and current warscore?

It is so tough to fight China. I wonder what happens when you need troops to play whack-a-mole in the occupied provinces
Did you break the Infamy barrier with that additional 20 Infamy? If so, I'd expect France and UK to hop in soon.
Also, if V2 is anything like V1, annexing china will simply leave you with hundreds of thousands of chinese rebels. And it will make you win at the game, so there's that too. :rofl:

Well I read correctly he loses around £50 a day and still owns around k£ 900 so this is about 50 years worth of cash...
Debt is not a very high concern.

He's losing that now, but he'll certainly need to recruit extra troops and build some more ships... Sure, he's got a decent treasury already, but It's nice to see that being in a large, potentially deadly war means you're gonna lose cash. I was beginning to wonder if cash was all that easy to get and all that hard to lose.
