The Imperial Japanese Army was a unique enemy that faced its enemies from 1932 thru 1945. Steeped in tradition of the Warrior yet a student of 20th century technology, they arose to not only remake the Japanese Army into a modern force, but also understood the strategic picture and their place in it.

Panzer Korps embraces the spirit of the Japanese General and his staff to organize plan and execute the orders he was given with the tools that he had available to him.

The Command Color system of Command Control along with the various mechanisms built into the game by the Fanatic, Banzai, and the Decorated Leader rules, will place players into the shoes of those commanders.

Driven by the need expand its resources to grow its nation, Japan chose an aggressive strategy to obtain them by conquest and collusion.

They knew very well their limitations and what they were in for when they attacked China, and later their neighboring countries. A policy that was called the Asian Co-Prosperity Sphere.

A sphere of influence that maintained Japan in its center. The expansion of this sphere was the Army’s mission.
