It thus "hot swaps" NK for PRC till the yalu time. After whatever time that is then if china is chosen, you get PRC as normal.

So how would I go about setting it up? In other words, what would I click? I'm sorry for being such a newb at the tech stuff.
Set up your LC with your chosen UN nation as the player at the appropriate date (SKorea or USA at the start date when Nkorea attacks, UK, Turkey etc start a few months later).

Now set up the 3 opponents as either NKorea or PRC China in the proportion you want for the later phase of the Korean war (say PRC as 2 choices, NK as 1).

In the early battles, the game will substitute any internal PRC choices as North Korean, till the winter of 51 when the PRC "volunteers" came over the border. Then the normal choice will resume.
