Hot on the heels of the succesful U.S.Vehicle Compendium (see:http://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=10190.0 (http://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=10190.0); and http://www.wargamevault.com/product_info.php?products_id=62483 (http://www.wargamevault.com/product_info.php?products_id=62483)) is our 5th book: the Chinese Army Compendium.
The Chinese Army Compendium is your comprehensive guide to using Chinese armies in Battlefield Evolution: World at War. The Chinese role and importance in World War II is often overlooked or misjudged by western wargamers and even historians. For China World War II has a rather different meaning then that in the rest of the world.

Interestingly enough in China, no one talks about the Second World War; instead people talk about the Anti-Japanese War. This book covers the Chinese armed forces of the War against the Imperial Japanese Army from 1937 to 1945; be it Kuomintang forces (Chinese National Revolutionary Party) or Mao Tse-tung’s People Liberation Army.
Included are the following army lists:
1937 – 1938 Nanking National Revolutionary Army
1937 – 1941 Soviet Advised National Revolutionary Army
1942 – 1943 National Revolutionary Army
1944 – 1945 Late War Chinese US equipped X and Y-Forces
1937 – 1945 Chinese Red Army Guerrilla Forces
The book also provides new Traits, Modified Advanced Rules and options to use captured equipment to add to your games of World at War. Stats for the following vehicle and air units are also included:
BA-10 Scout Car
BA-6 Light Armoured Car
Bren Carrier
FT-17
L3/33 Tankette
M24 Chaffee Light Tank
M3 Halftrack
M3A1 White Scout Car
M3A3 Stuart Light Tank
M4A4 Sherman Tank
PzKpfw I Ausführung A Tank
SdKfz 221 Panzerspähwagen
SdKfz 222 Panzerspähwagen
T-26 Light Tank
Vickers 6-Ton Mk E Type B
Air Assets
Curtiss P-40 Warhawk
Polikarpov I-16
All infantry and vehicle units in this book are consistent with existing units in the Battlefield Evolution: World at War rulebook also written by me.
This book requires the use of Battlefield Evolution: World at War, available from Mongoose Publishing.

Looks excellant. I adore anything Chinese and have armies from 1500BC Shang right through to Warlord era 1930's. You may be tempting me to come closer to modern day with this.

I can only agree with you. Chinese armies are a fascinating topic. I was amazed during my research for the book how wrong my view on China's role during WW II was, we Europeans really do not have a "global" look at the conflict. ;)

I hope some 28mm manufacturers get inspired to do some sculpting.

Hmm, you can always use Copplestones BoB range. For the German adviced Chinese you can do wonders just with some headswaps! Same for the Soviet supported ones.
Yes a challenge, but IMO a very rewarding one.
