This game was first published in The Wargamer Magazine issue #10, and republished as a boxed game in 1994.
Chinese Civil War is a simple hex-based wargame on the conflict between the Nationalist Kuomintang (KMT) army and the Communist People's Liberation Army (PLA) in China between 1946 and 1949. The aim of the game is to capture/retain control of cities at game end (16 turns)
One of the enduring themes of warfare is that of the guerrilla army pitted against a conventional one. On the one side are logistics, fire power and numbers; on the other are stealth, surprise, and the uncanny ability to disappear at will. This game, set in China in the years 1946-49, reproduces just such a conflict, as the Nationalist army and its warlord allies try to stem the growing power of the People's Liberation Army. Whether as the irregular leader committed to defeating a conventionally superior foe, or the conventional commander determined to prevent the triumph of the Reds, the game will demand all your skill.
