Overview

The China War: Sino-Soviet Conflict in the 1980s, is an operational-level simulation of the (then) current military situation in Asia.

The game consists of three scenarios.

The first covers the first eight weeks of a full-scale war against the People's Republic of China (PRC) by the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR).

The second scenario examines the possibility of a second more serious war between Vietnam and the PRC.

The third concerns a possible Taiwanese amphibious invasion of the mainland in the context of an ongoing Sino-Soviet War.
