SGS Imjin War: Relive the Epic 16th Century Conflict

Immerse yourself in the heart of the Imjin War, a pivotal conflict that gripped East Asia in the late 16th century. This deeply strategic historical wargame recreates the brutal invasion of Korea's Joseon kingdom by Hideyoshi's Japan, spanning from 1592 to 1598. Take command in this grand strategy game and determine the fate of nations.

The Grand Campaign scenario offers an expansive experience, unfolding over 105 turns, each representing a week in this tumultuous period. Explore smaller, focused scenarios that delve into specific moments of the 1592-1593 campaign and the second invasion of 1598, offering diverse tactical wargame scenarios.

As Japan, lead the formidable Samurai armies in their quest to conquer the Korean peninsula and advance towards China. Or, as Korea, you must strategically defend against the relentless invasion, relying on Chinese reinforcements, powerful naval forces including the iconic Turtle Ships, and local resistance to turn the tide. Even Manchu Jurchen forces may come into play driven by the events.

• Japan begins with overwhelming land forces, but their under-equipped and poorly led navy poses a significant challenge to maintaining supply lines. Success depends on securing Korea as a stepping stone to conquering China in this turn-based strategy game.

• Korea's survival hinges on a desperate initial defense, stalling the Japanese advance until Chinese support arrives. The Korean player must leverage naval superiority and guerilla warfare to disrupt the invaders in this challenging historical simulation game.

Supply lines and control of key towns are critical factors for victory. Master logistics and resource management to sustain your war effort and secure your objectives.
