What is IMJIN WAR 1592-93: First Japanese Invasion of Korea

The Imjin War relates the story of one of the toughest conflict in the end of the 16th century, depicting the invasion of the Joseon kingdom of Korea by the Japanese. The Japanese must capture possibly the whole of the peninsula from their Busan foothold in the South. The Korean player must repel the invasion with the help of China...

The Japanese have very numerous land forces at the start of the game, but their navy, although numerous, is weak and poorly led and their goal is to conquer all of Korea in order to reach – and conquer - China.

The Korean player must first hold desperately against the initial invasion and superior enemy troops, waiting for Chinese reinforcements, counting on local rebellion, and most of all his powerful navy to alter the course of events.

Seizing the main areas, winning land and naval battles, gaining allies will prove the decisive factor in winning this war.
