Next War: Taiwan

Simulates a near‑future conflict across the Taiwan Strait between the PRC and the ROC with optional U.S. intervention and regional consequences. Players command ground brigades, regiments and battalions, air squadrons, and abstracted naval battle groups; they manage movement, combat, air and naval superiority, submarine and ASW threat levels, mine warfare, and amphibious operations. Weather, initiative, and special operations influence each turn, and combat resolution factors unit efficiency and terrain. Multiple scenarios range from short initial assaults to full campaign play, with both a Standard ruleset for quicker games and an Advanced ruleset adding detailed air, strike, and special operations options; an optional Korea linkage expands the theater.
