Red Dragon Green Crescent Deluxe Edition is a strategic-level simulation of hypothetical future conflicts in and around East Asia, the Indian Ocean, and the Middle East. The time frame is the not-too-distant future, roughly between 2024 and 2035. The game system is based on the proven CSR Award Winning design, Red Dragon Rising (from S&T Magazine #250) and its sequel, Red Dragon Green Crescent (from Modern War #1), as well as variants which were published along the way. Red Dragon Green Crescent Deluxe Edition is a two-player game, adaptable to multi-player and solitaire play, with three primary scenarios allowing for play on either map or a combined game across both.
This deluxe edition accounts for developments in the strategic situation since the original games were published. The People’s Republic of China has in recent years established bases (or at least basing rights) throughout the Indian Ocean. Russia is engaged in a war in Ukraine. The 2021 Taliban victory in Afghanistan shifted the perception of the power of the United States and its Coalition partners. All around, the powers are bringing online advanced weapons systems and new tactics. This is modeled with two general time frames for the scenarios, one set in the 2020s and the other in the 2030s.
