So I got to thinking about making a subfaction for the PLA that was their regular army, with conventional trappings/organization and no body armour, and a ticket advantage (larger numbers in deployment). Then I got thinking -- since the US has managed to invade China's mainland, what would the USMC come across when not fighting the PLA? I figured maybe a militia-style force, fighting to "defend the homeland". It was mostly inspired by the Japanese home guard of WW2. Wether or not China actually has a group like this I don't know. One of our Chinese members may be able to fill me in on this, though this is the near future, and the US is invading...so maybe something like this would take place?
Also, we have Two Arab factions, Three Western Factions, and only one Asian.
If not, it's fun brainstorming none the less!
Concept: Conscripted Defence soldiers that hold positions while the main army is out fighting. Used to suppliment/supplant PLA main forces. Officers are detachments from PLA, who oversee dicipline.
Fighting Style: Ambush. Only one regular kit gets an assault rifle. Soldiers have no body armour, and relitively limited amunition. They have no air cover native to their forces. They rely on ambush and gurella warfare to accomplish their goals.
So here are my kit ideas...

PICK UP:

Notes: These guys should have a commander, a higher ranking PLA officer in charge of overseeing things. Thusly they will be able to build some assets, though maybe not some of them.
Other Ideas:
I would like to see about maybe making an Anti Personel landmine. It would be given to the labourer, I'd say. I know it's against some convention, but these buggers arn't listening...
VEHICLES
Light Jeep:
Paratrooper FAV
Medium Jeep:
Nanjing 2046
Heavy Vehicle:
BRDM-2 (China doesn't officially use it, though lots of countries have, and I figure some would show up in China. It also looks cool, and you know it. It would have a seat of 4 however. Requires crewman.)
APC: The 2.5 Ton truck model would do great as a mass-troop transits. Seems fairly cheap in comparison to a full blown APC, and these guys don't have transport choppers.
Maps: One Urban map and one Jungle/forrest map would be good I think, for starters. Sunset City could have these guys instead of the PLA.
EDIT: Upside to doing this is that a vast majority of the stuff they're using is already in the game. As such, if I took on the project (and had permission to use the stuff) a good amount of the work would already be done.
EDIT 2: I also figure the maps would be objective based, maybe, though AAS might work. I figure The Peoples Militia would have twice or so the tickets of US/GB/CA.
EDIT 3: I've fixed a few things and have changed the weapons around quite a bit. Thanks to Bob for the help.
EDIT 4: Anti Personel Mines
