Order of Battle: Morning Sun

In summer 1937, renewed tensions between Japan and China escalate into open war: The Second Sino-Japanese war has begun. 

Order of Battle: Pacific after the release of the successful free update Battle of Britain, comes back to the Pacific Theatre, covering one of the cruellest but most underrated conflicts of the Second World War period. 

In Order of Battle: Morning Sun you take control over the Japanese forces fighting for territorial expansion and rich Chinese resources. The conflict soon turns into a massive all-out war between the two sides during the Battle of Shanghai. While the Chinese forces are numerically superior, they have suffered from internal conflict and are poorly equipped with outdated weapons. The recently modernised Japanese Army on the other hand is well trained and experienced, but as the war drags on it gets increasingly overstretched, allowing the enemy to regain the initiative at several occasions... 

Key features:

• Construction Group unit allows players to construct small airstrips on locations of their own choosing. 


• Horses: These brave and loyal animals played a vital role in the war, and are now included in the game as part of Cavalry units and Horse Transportation. 


• New terrain types: Plow through muddy Rice Fields and fight along the Great Wall of China.
