Description
The Next War: Korea Second Edition contains: Standard and Advanced Rulebooks Game Specific Rulebook 1,056 Counters (9/16 inch) Two 22x34 inch Mapsheets 7 Play Aids (8.5x11 inch) 3 Play Aids (11x17 inch) One 10-sided Die This reprint edition includes updated counters and erratas, including US, Chinese, Russian, and Japanese Orders of Battle. The map changes slightly to bridge rules from Next War: India-Pakistan back to this game, which necessitates noting which hex sides can't be bridged, as well as defining Beaches and Invasion Hexes a la Next War: Taiwan, which actually takes us back to the original Crisis: Korea 1995 map. The Series Rules and Player Aid Cards will be brought up to the latest standards, and, of course, the Game Specific Rules will have to be changed to incorporate all of the above. Make no mistake, Next War: Korea is not an introductory game.
