CONTENTS: ? rule booklet (12 pages) ? fold-out game map ? 200 counters (1 sheet) ~ "The China War is an operational-level simulation of a full-scale Sino-Soviet conflict occuring sometime in the present decade. Vividly designed scenarios postulate the Soviet blitzkrieg into China, an all-out Chinese offensive against Vietnam and a major amphibious assault on Taiwan. Players bring the most modern warfare technologies to bear as the Chinese protect their country against the onslaught of Soviet mechanized forces. Terrain and supply considerations become critically important to victory, and the colorful game map is densely packed with information. All the while, both players must keep a sharp eye on political events - as the balance of power around the world shifts dramatically, changing alliances will have a severe effect upon the battle at hand. China's February '79 Vietnam offensive brought a Sino-Soviet conflagration dangerously near. The China War is a game for today."
