Description

This Japanese wargame on the "Nanboku-cho" period (Northern and Southern Courts period - 1336 to 1392) simulates one of the most dynamic and important periods in Japanese history.

太平記 (Taiheiki) is a Japanese historical epic.
(Chronicle of Great Peace)

It uses an area movement system.

This game has cult status among Japanese wargamers as one of the best games representing the era, and the system is also used in the designer's later games Koetsu gunki and Warriors of God: The Wars of England & France, 1135-1453. It was translated entirely in English and published as Warriors of Japan: A Country Aflame 1335-1339.
