Soldiers of the Rising Sun

  • Description

    (from the designer:)

    Soldiers of the Rising Sun (SRS) is a simulation of warfare in the Pacific Theatre of Operations during World War Two.

    Each Turn represents part of a day. Each military unit represents a company or platoon. Each section of track is one to three kilometers in length.

    This is a counter and map simulation using a point-to-point movement and combat system.

    It's envisaged that SRS will have a number of modules, each depicting a certain stage of the conflict in the PTO. These modules will be divided into a number of scenarios. Each scenario presents a challenge to both sides, with clear objectives which must be achieved in a limited number of turns.

    The first module, Gathering Storm, focuses on the opening battles of the Kokoda Track Campaign.

    Gathering Storm and Green Hell are out of stock.
