## About This Content
In summer 1937, renewed tensions between Japan and China escalate into open
war: The Second Sino-Japanese war has begun.

Order of Battle: WWII comes back to the Pacific Theatre, covering one of the
cruellest but most underrated conflicts of the Second World War period.

In Order of Battle: Morning Sun you take control over the Japanese forces
fighting for territorial expansion and rich Chinese resources. The conflict
soon turns into a massive all-out war between the two sides during the Battle
of Shanghai. While the Chinese forces are numerically superior, they have
suffered from internal conflict and are poorly equipped with outdated weapons.
The recently modernised Japanese Army on the other hand is well trained and
experienced, but as the war drags on it gets increasingly overstretched,
allowing the enemy to regain the initiative at several occasions…

New units

Japanese armies have been reinforced with several new units including biplane
fighters and bombers such as the Ki-10, D1A and A4N1, the Sōkō Sagyō Ki
flamethrower-equipped engineering vehicle and Type 89 medium tanks. The
Chinese rely heavily on foreign arms deals, resulting in a diverse arsenal
made up from Soviet Polikarpov fighters, Tupolev bombers and T-26 tanks,
German Panzer I’s, Sdkfz 221/222 armoured cars and 37mm PaK guns, Italian
L3/33 tankettes, British Gloster Gladiators and many more. Nations now also
have access to Cavalry units and Horse Transportation for towed guns. In
total, almost 100 new unit types have been added to the game.
