About the game
Southern China faces its own troubles. The League of Nations is paralyzed by inaction. It seems that the people of Manchukuo must stand for themselves if they are to survive the occupation. By adding the Rise of the Resistance content, you and your fellow masters can contribute directly to the efforts of the resistance fighters. Sending supplies and able hands can reward you with great prominence at the risk of garnering further suspicion. The more you and your peers contribute, the better the Resistance will fare, which can turn the tide of the entire conflict! —description from the publisher
