Product Description

Sixty years of tense, uneasy peace are shattered as the Korean Peninsula erupts in renewed warfare. One historically, ethnically, and culturally homogeneous people polarized and separated by superpower politics and economics hurl men, weapons, and material into the maelstrom of modern combat in an attempt to settle their arbitrary division once and for all.From Pyongyang in North Korea to Busan in the South, the war rages. In a scene reminiscent of the first attack by the In Min Gun in 1950, the North Korean Peoples Army surges across the Demilitarized Zone and penetrates deep into South Korea.Special Operations Forces from both sides conduct raids, interdiction, and reconnaissance missions behind enemy lines while airborne, air assault, and amphibious forces strike far behind those lines attempting to outflank the main army forces of both sides. In the air, both sides wage a heated campaign in an effort to establish superiority over the skies of Korea. With rough terrain and the full ferocity of modern armor, airmobile, airborne, and marine warfighting capabilities, there is no safe haven in the lethal cauldron of battle which has engulfed the Korean Peninsula.While North and South battle for a quick, decisive victory, the world awaits the response of the two military superpowers in the region: the United States of America and the Peoples Republic of China. Will the United States, stung by high casualties among the soldiers of its 2nd Infantry Division near the DMZ during the surprise artillery barrages and initial assaults on the first day of the war, be able to reinforce the South quickly enough, and, if so, how and in what strength? Will the Communist Chinese again react (or pre-emptively intervene) to a massive US response and join the fray, thus widening the conflict? As the situation evolves, choices are made, forces are committed, and the security of Japan and the future of the two Koreas hangs in the balance

Next War: Korea Review

I recently finished my first campaign game and I am looking forward to more of this series being released.

NW:K strikes a good balance between complexity and playability. There is a basic game, but to really get full use from the game I recommend the advanced game as soon as one is comfortable. Although we cannot know for sure what a future Korean war will look like, I think this is as plausibly close as we will get with paper and dice. Not only are there plenty of scenarios, but if you keep up with current events it is easy to make your own. Also, as others in the series come out, it will be possible to come up with more scenarios that link with other games in the series.

It is set a bit in the future so the OoB is a little different from what you will see today. In the game I just played I used some of the components from the original Crisis Korea such as the SK F-5s from Crisis Korea and left out the F35s. There were a few printing errors on the counters, but I understand errata counters will soon be available. There was a pleasant surprise that there were many more counters included than were originally planned.

Overall, I think a good study and a good game on something that could happen.
