We could introduce China. They had a large navy of very small ships. Nothing over hull 2 supported by a tiny amount of aircraft. No doubt people would want flying tigers. They could be AA6 ace?

I would like to see China added as they really are the last Major Nation that's not represented. They really only have some light cruisers as capital ships but I mean there are nations with less lol. Stuff like the Ning Hai-Class with the Ping Hai. Hai Yung class, Hai Tien class, and Chao Ho class. A few destroyers from the Chiang Feng class and a lot of gunboats of different sizes and some mbt. Could also add ships that weren't finished or delivered due to the conflict with Japan. Finally you have the countless lend lease aircraft such as raevski stated like the Flying Tigers no doubt and some pre-war/early war designs. Nothing huge, but a modest amount I suppose.

I agree that if the Republican Chinese Navy is added, then other potential ships would have to be excluded in order to create a meaningful/decent/playable Chinese Navy. If it were up to me solely, I'd exclude any clones or operational units and "What if" to add more historical ones. Sure China might not be able to field a 100 point navy, but it doesn't have to imo. Other counties don't as well and some I wouldn't have included like Chile or Norway in order to fit a Chinese one. In my honest opinion, I do think the Republic of China should get at least 5 units to represent them in game, but its up to the community and you. We shall see.
I think, off the top of my head. They had 3 cruisers in 2 classes (2 cards), some very small destroyers may 1-2 of those and a fighter. So 4-5 cards is my thoughts

The only way China could get to 100 points is through neutral bases. I see 3 cruisers around 30 points , fighter at 5 points each and destroyer probably a 5 pointer. So around 90 points
The game is obviously not written for that. It’s the same as the Winter War for the Soviets, you just have to hand wave the oversight on the 1941 date and move on.
