About this game
Battle For Shanghai and the SGS Battles Series SGS Battle for Shanghai is the fourth game of our SGS Battle Series, covering intense fights and battles in well know (or not) small but fighting-heavy locations ; ‘grand’ tactical’ scale for regiment, battalion, company and even platoon-size units (depending on the games) and game turns which represent a very short real period of time (one or two days, half a day, a few hours…). One of the many particularities of the Battle series compared to other SGS relates to a unit activation system which means that not all units will necessarily be able to move and fight in a turn.

SGS Battle for Shanghai covers the period from August 13, 1937, to November 26, 1937, till the final Japanese capture of the city and the heavy destruction brought to the city. At the end of November, when the game ends, the Chinese have lost ground and are even now threatened at their capital of Nanking. But could manage to have them seize the initial enemy positions in Shanghai and hold them before the Japanese reinforcements and counter-offensive (from late August) strikes at you, thus complicating Tokyo’s plans and achieving your own, to draw worldwide attention to the conflict? Or, as the Japanese commander, can you hold your ground in the city and put the assaulting Chinese in an even more precarious situation than the historical one when your counter-offensive comes? Each quarter of city and nearby towns and suburbs will become the stake of a thousand battles. The game will contain a grand campaign scenario covering the battle from August until November, as well as other (intermediate or shorter - see below) scenarios based on different starting days or limited to specific areas (Shanghai city,…
