Next War: Korea

A near-future conventional conflict on the Korean Peninsula where North and South Korea, backed by external powers, fight to control territory and influence. Players command division- and brigade-level ground forces plus air squadrons, carrier and amphibious groups, and special operations units; they manage movement, combat, air/naval operations, reinforcements, and logistics over a hex map of Korea at ~7.5 miles per hex. Turns alternate between initiative and contested sequences, with weather, air superiority, sea control, and unit efficiency affecting outcomes. Scenarios range from short DMZ engagements to full campaign and advanced scenarios that add detailed airpower, intervention options for the US and China, and optional rules for longer, more complex play.
