Steam Store description

First Sino-Japanese War is a free and open-source game covering naval tactical and strategic layers of the 1894–1895 war between China and Japan.

The editor is integrated into the same interface as the normal gameplay mode, exposing all parameters and status data, allowing modifications and scenario generation at any time.
