Default Re: Chemical Weapons

The biplanes were Korean, Chinese air power was not committed this is true, but to say that it was nonexistent as a hypothetical for the purposes of an often counter-factual (in terms of conflicts) war game is sort of unreasonable.

I still believe I remember reports of Chinese volunteer units operating Soviet supplied tanks and assault guns at some stage during the conflict. Again, even if it was not committed by Chinese volunteers to say that it could not have is not necessarily true when talking about a war game that allows for counter factual engagements almost as a rule.

Like I said, the picklist perhaps for the Korean scenario, which is not counter factual should be revised, but these assets would have been available to period Chinese forces potentially had they been otherwise engaged.
