Next War Korea 2nd Edition

Sixty years of tense, uneasy peace are shattered as the Korean Peninsula erupts in renewed warfare. One historically, ethnically, and culturally homogeneous people polarized and separated by superpower politics and economics hurl men, weapons, and material into the maelstrom of modern combat in an attempt to settle their arbitrary division once and for all.

From Pyongyang in North Korea to Busan in the South, the war rages. In a scene reminiscent of the first attack by the In Min Gun in 1950, the North Korean People’s Army surges across the Demilitarized Zone and penetrates deep into South Korea.

Special Operations Forces from both sides conduct raids, interdiction, and reconnaissance missions behind enemy lines while airborne, air assault, and amphibious forces strike far behind those lines attempting to outflank the main army forces of both sides. In the air, both sides wage a heated campaign in an effort to establish superiority over the skies of Korea. With rough terrain and the full ferocity of modern armor, airmobile, airborne, and marine warfighting capabilities, there is no safe haven in the lethal cauldron of battle which has engulfed the Korean Peninsula.

While North and South battle for a quick, decisive victory, the world awaits the response of the two military superpowers in the region: the United States of America and the People’s Republic of China. Will the United States, stung by high casualties among the soldiers of its 2nd Infantry Division near the DMZ during the surprise artillery barrages and initial assaults on the first day of the war, be able to reinforce the South quickly enough, and, if so, how and in what strength? Will the Communist Chinese again react (or pre-emptively intervene) to a massive US response and join the fray, thus widening the conflict? As the situation evolves, choices are made, forces are committed, and the security of Japan and the future of the two Koreas hangs in the balance.

Updated with Supplemental 1, 2, & 3 markers!
some of the other rules of supplemental 3 are incomplete, but the new ROK OOB has been added as an option!

Included is every player aid needed to properly play the game, as well as every optional unit I'm aware of, however for right now I have not included the alternate air system which may come at a later date.

If you are new to the series I suggest playing Next War: India-Pakistan uploaded by another creator here:
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2638789212&searchtext=next+war
It is a much smaller scale game and is easier to play due to not having to worry about naval units.
This workshop upload also includes the optional alternate advanced air system from supplemental 1, if you wish you can save the parts available there and load it on this game.

If you have a game in progress without the newest update you can save and add the red cube module from this page and it will work, just right click a stack and press explode

Some of the reinforcement numbers on the markers can be difficult to read due to image compression, in a playtest game I was able to place all of them in their appropriate location, but if you have difficulty it may help to check out the image gallery on the Board Game Geek website. as high quality scans of all the counter sheets have been uploaded there and may help with referencing the correct numbers
