New in open box and unpunched. Never played. Military simulation magazine game from Against the Odds. See photos for details. "Storm Over Taierzhuang" is a board game published by Against the Odds Magazine that focuses on the Battle of Taierzhuang, a significant engagement during the Second Sino-Japanese War in 1938. The game is area movement/impulse action-based, with a tactical chit system that adds depth and unpredictability to the gameplay. Players take on the roles of the Nationalist Chinese and the Japanese forces. The Nationalist Chinese aim to lure the Japanese into a trap and encircle them, while the Japanese seek to capture the important rail junction of Xuzhou. The game captures the tactical complexity and desperation of the battle, where the defenders set up an elaborate trap and turned the city into a fortress that had to be taken block by block. It's a challenging and engaging experience that highlights the decisive nature of this often-overlooked battle.
