Storm Over Asia is both a companion game to GMT s A World at War along with Gathering Storm, and is a game in its own right, with its own victory conditions. Starting in 1935, Japan, China, Britain, as well as Russia prepare for war without being sure of just what is coming.
Japan must balance its expansion in China, an impending confrontation including the United States as well as Russia, and the impact of the Pacific theater in a global war. China, Britain, along with Russia must try to resist immediate Japanese expansion, while at the same time laying the groundwork for the successful prosecution of war in the Pacific.
These short-term along with long-term goals will often be in conflict, and misjudgments in either direction may have dire consequences. COMPONENTS Approximately 840 full-color die-cut counters.
