Korean War

Korean War 1950–1953,  a turn-based strategy game set on the Korean Peninsula, depicts the struggle that grew from just including local North and South Korean troops to a massive multinational confrontation between American-led UN troops and the northern Communist forces, which included over one million Chinese soldiers and material support from the Soviet Union. From Joni Nuutinen: by a wargamer for the wargamers since 2011

``The amphibious landing of U.S. Marines on September 1950 at Inchon, on the west coast of Korea, was one of the most audacious and spectacularly successful amphibious landings in all naval history.``
- Bernard Brodie

You are in command of the US-led UN amphibious force tasked with stopping the initial North Korean offensive before they control the entire peninsula. The second part of your mission is to secure lasting peace in the area by conquering the entire land mass of Korea, and if the Chinese Red Army crosses the border into Korea, you have the authorization to engage them to push communist forces out. Squeezed between WWII and the Vietnam War, the Korean War is also known as the Forgotten War.

``If we let Korea down, the Soviet[s] will keep right on going and swallow up one place after another.”
– President Harry Truman, remarks at his first meeting with his advisors after learning that North Korea had invaded South Korea, June 25, 1950.

In order to be a victorious general, you should learn to coordinate your attacks in two ways. First, as adjacent units give support to an attacking unit, keep your units in tight-enough groups in order to gain local superiority. Secondly, it is rarely the best idea to use brute force when it is possible to encircle the enemy and cut off its supply lines instead.



Conflict-Series by Joni Nuutinen has offered highly rated Android-only strategy board games since 2011, and even the first scenarios are still actively updated. The campaigns are based on the time-tested gaming mechanics TBS (turn-based strategy) enthusiasts are familiar with from both the classic PC war games and legendary tabletop board games. I want to thank the fans for all the well thought-out suggestions over the years which have allowed these campaigns to improve at a much higher rate than what any solo indie developer could dream of. If you have advice on how to improve this board game series please use email, this way we can have a constructive back and forth chat without the limits of the store`s comment system. In addition, because I have huge number of projects on multiple stores, it’s just not sensible to spend handful of hours each day going through hundreds of pages spread all over the Internet to see if there is a question somewhere -- just send me an email and I will get back to you. Thanks for understanding and good luck with the campaign!
