Modern War #45 (The Dragon and The Hermit Kingdom)

Modern War #45, November 2019.

The Dragon and The Hermit Kingdom is a two player game that covers the hypothetical simulation of a second Korean War that could occur in the very near future. This game is a precursor to The Dragon that Engulfed the Sun (Modern War #42). It simulates the war that would have occurred on the Korean peninsula just prior to that game’s setting. The Dragon that Engulfed the Sun assumes that a Chinese victory had already occurred in Korea. This game, however, simulates the entirety of that preceding conflict, beginning with a supposed North Korean invasion of South Korea.

Components: One 22" x 34" map on one sheet & 176 counters.

(perhaps it would be useful to spend fewer words on The Dragon that Engulfed the Sun and instead tell us more about this game? Like who is fighting who?)
