Japan in WW II - Chrysanths and the Sword

Customized East Asia map based on real elevation and terrain, more accurate than the base game scale (~30km/hex)

Three scenarios are available—1937, 1941, and 1944—each offering distinct challenges and strategic possibilities. From the initial sparks of war in China to the climax of the Allied counteroffensive, every scenario requires careful planning and a deep understanding of both the historical and alternate outcomes.

The year is 1937. Japan, driven by the belief in its manifest destiny to lead Asia, embarks on an aggressive campaign of conquest, beginning with the invasion of China. Following the Marco Polo Bridge Incident, tensions explode into full-scale war. The Japanese military, fueled by the ideology of the Chrysanthemum and the Sword, moves swiftly to capture Beijing, Shanghai, and Nanjing. In this scenario, players take command at the outset of Japan's quest to dominate China.

By 1941, Japan’s ambitions have drawn it into a confrontation with the Western powers. Following the attack on Pearl Harbor, the Empire seeks to cripple the American Pacific Fleet and seize control of vital territories throughout Southeast Asia. Japan’s armies are at their zenith, but so too are the risks. As the war spreads across the Pacific, every move must be calculated to maintain momentum and outmaneuver the Allied response.

By the year of 1944, and the tides of war have shifted against Japan. Operation Ichigo, the largest Japanese offensive of the war, is launched as a desperate attempt to reclaim lost ground in China and secure critical resources. The Allies are advancing on all fronts, from the beaches of Normandy in Europe to the Pacific islands of Saipan and Guam. Japan’s war machine is strained to the breaking point, but surrender is not an option.

• For Japanese players who want the most detailed game possible, set up a local PEBM game that commands both Manchukuo and Japan. Northern China being controlled by Manchukuo is a design that I hope simplifies the burden on the player.(It's a huge front line.)

• Considering the already huge size of the map, some countries and colonies in the South Pacific are not included in this mod for simplification reasons, and the Japanese player is considered to be completely defeated by the Allies in Southeast Asia after conquering Manila.
