Two decades have passed since the first Taiwan Strait Crisis, but mainland China never stops its military modernization progress. With ROC National Army continues downsizing its army, the threat of an invasion is more and more realistic. Nowadays Taiwan has abandoned the idea of defeating a PRC invasion, on the contrary, she emphasizes on its "scaring off" strategy, which means to inflict "enough damage" to the PLA landing forces, thus "scare" the PRC administration from ever have the idea to do so.
So will the PRC be scared? How long will Taiwan last, and how much casualties will she inflict to PLA invading forces with or without help from the United States?
In this scenario 6 PLA armies (1st, 12th, 20th, 31st, 41st, 42nd) will participate in the invasion against 3 ROCNA army corps (VI, VIII, X Army Corps), with overwhelming quality and quantity advantage. However, PLA forces are heavily hindered by its sealifting capability, which will further decrease as the scenario goes.
The time limit is set to 12 days, without US intervention. Taiwan is on its own now.

Events:
PLA air and sea lifting capabilities will significantly drop by half in turn 2, as it takes merely 24 hours for a tour crossing the strait.
PLA sealifting will increase by the time since civil cargoships will be mobilized.
The US will not directly go into the conflict, instead, she will provide satellite reconnaissance support from day 2.
Shortly after the start of hostility (from Turn 2), the LT-2000 battery of Kinmen Defense Command will shell the city of Xiamen as retaliation. The PLA must destroy that battery as soon as possible until the city of Xiamen is totally destroyed.
