Three Kingdoms, modern naval battles

Japan-China-Korea; Three Kingdoms Modern Naval Battles is a board simulation game that depicts the possible conflict between the Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force, the Chinese Navy and the Korean Navy that could be fought in 202x.

In this simulation, each surface ship/submarine is one unit, and each unit has anti-ship, anti-air, anti-submarine power, and technical level. In addition, wide area anti-air power must be set for Aegis warship. The character of each individual ship and each weapon is reproduced.

As a result, various modern naval battles including ship-to-ship, ship-to-air, ship-to-submarine, air-to-submarine, and air-to-air combat are reproduced with a simple game system, enabling you to play a three-dimensional modern naval-air battle.

In addition to four introductory scenarios that can be played in a short period of time, a campaign scenario that requires a plan of operations combining surface, submarine, and aircraft units on a wide scale is also included.
